TENS & Electrical Stimulation for Injury Pain

When injury pain lingers or limits your daily life, modern technology can provide powerful relief—without relying on medication or invasive procedures. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and other forms of electrical stimulation have become trusted, science-backed solutions for managing pain, supporting tissue healing, and restoring function after accidents, surgery, or sports injuries. At Dr. Elham’s clinic, our electrotherapy programs are tailored to each patient, offering comfort, safety, and a faster return to activity.

How Does Electrical Stimulation Work?

TENS and related therapies use gentle electrical currents delivered through pads placed on the skin. For pain relief, these currents “block” or scramble pain signals before they reach the brain, while also stimulating the release of endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers. Other types of electrical stimulation target muscles directly, encouraging contraction and relaxation to build strength, reduce spasms, and promote circulation in injured tissues. The treatments are non-invasive, drug-free, and have virtually no side effects when provided by trained professionals.

What Can Electrical Stimulation Help With?

• Acute injuries—sprains, strains, or muscle tears
• Post-surgical pain and swelling
• Chronic back or neck pain
• Nerve pain, such as sciatica or neuropathy
• Sports injuries and repetitive stress
• Muscle weakness or spasticity after injury
• Persistent inflammation and swelling

Real Patient Story: Regaining Comfort and Confidence

After a car accident left Mark with stubborn lower back pain, he struggled to sleep and couldn’t resume his normal exercise routine. Traditional pain medications provided only brief relief. Once Mark started TENS therapy at Dr. Elham’s clinic, he noticed significant improvement after just a few sessions. The gentle tingling helped relax tense muscles, reduced his pain levels, and allowed him to participate more fully in physical therapy. Stories like Mark’s show that electrical stimulation can be a turning point on the road to recovery.

The Treatment Experience: What to Expect

1. Initial Consultation: We review your injury, pain history, and treatment goals, then determine the best type of electrical stimulation for your needs.
2. Session Setup: Electrodes are gently placed on the skin over the painful or injured area. Settings are adjusted for comfort—most patients feel a mild tingling, pulsing, or buzzing sensation.
3. Relax and Recover: Sessions last from 15 to 30 minutes. You can read, listen to music, or simply relax during the process.
4. Integrated Care: Electrical stimulation is often combined with physical therapy, massage, or exercise to enhance recovery and speed results.
5. Progress Review: We regularly assess your pain, mobility, and function to adapt your care plan for the best outcome.
