The Truth behind Electric Waves for Back Pain Relief
from:For back pain, there is a therapy called TENS otherwise known as
transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. In this treatment, electric
currents are passed through patches placed on the skin. These electric
currents are low voltage. Electric waves for back pain relief are used by
some people, but there is a definite need for more research. As the research
remains right now, there is very little evidence that electric waves for
back pain relief have any use for acute or chronic back pain. In fact in
some studies, it has been shown that transcutaneous nerve stimulation was
not any more effective than the placebo in the study. Transcutaneous
electric nerve stimulation is most often used with labour and pregnancy
pain. When the electrodes are placed on the skin, there is a cream that is
often used to increase the conductivity. Despite its lack of evidence, it is
said to date back to ancient Greece. However, the device was obviously not
the same. Another unexpected use for transcutaneous electric nerve
stimulation is also used in the BDSM communities for sexual stimulation.
Perhaps the knowledge of this use will detour some people from using this
method for back pain relief. More trivia about electric waves for back pain
relief is that Benjamin Franklin endorsed and used this as a pain relief
method.
Back pain is something that can vary from mild to severe, can be acute or
chronic and can massively affect someone’s day to day life and their ability
to perform some tasks. The desperation to find a treatment that works well
can lead some people to do things that are dangerous, costly, and not overly
useful. It is essential to do as much research as possible to ensure that no
false therapies are being offered. The consumer or patient must be the
director of their own medical care in a sense that they are responsible for
the knowledge obtained before venturing into this pain relief method. All
being said and done, there are a couple things to be said about electric
waves for back pain relief. First, there has not been any statistically
significant research to prove that this is a trusted method of pain relief.
However, the people that endorse it and use it as a method of pain relief
must receive some benefit. Second, electric waves for back pain relief have
been around for quite some time. Lastly, there are several interesting facts
about the history of using electric waves for pain relief, which makes it
good information for trivia, but not necessarily for actual pain relief.
