TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS involves a small device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in the painful area. All it feels like is a vibrating or tapping sensation and it doesn´t hurt. A TENS unit can help decrease the pain. If you are interested in it, you can talk to your doctor or physical therapist.
