This video by Bob & Elizabeth Johnson, MedFaxx Staff Physical Therapist, shows not only how to save money on tns reusable electrodes, as well as interferential electrodes, but also how to increase the conductivity for better chronic pain relief with tens electrodes.
Reduce Pain
Promotes Healing
Stimulates Endorphin Release
Increases Range of Motion
Interferential therapy uses tiny electrical currents, that intersect below the surface of the skin. This promotes endorphin release in the body. Endorphins are the bodies, natural, built in pain killers.
What is the best size electrode for Interferential therapy? A larger electrode often works better on chronic pain.
Apply your electrodes in a criss cross pattern. Form a large X, right over the painful area. The soothing electric current will cover the painful spot.
It’s important to place the electrodes over muscle or fat. Avoid placing electrodes over a bony area. Muscle and fat provide a more conductive pathway for the mild electric current. This provides the best pain relief experience.
