Seeing my left hand move again after days of weakness was an incredibly emotional and hopeful moment for me. This movement was supported by muscle stimulation therapy using a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine, carried out under the supervision of my neurophysiotherapist. In conditions like Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), the muscles themselves are often healthy, but the communication between the brain and the body becomes disrupted. This can lead to symptoms such

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS)

Mona J Patel on Instagram: "💡 What is a TENS Machine? TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a small device used by physiotherapists to help reduce pain. It sends gentle electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate nerves and block pain signals going to the brain. ✅ Benefits of Using a TENS Machine Reduces pain without medication Helps relax tight muscles Improves comfort during recovery Can be used alongside exercises and rehab Portable and easy to use Non-invasive (no needle

DrNaveen Porwal on Instagram: "⚡ How Does TENS Relieve Pain ? | Gate Control Theory Explained! | #reels 💥 Ever wondered how TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) works to relieve pain ? ✅ Correct Answer: a. Gate Control Theory 🔐 TENS stimulates large-diameter afferent fibers (like A-beta fibers), which close the "gate" to pain signals from smaller pain fibers — reducing pain perception. 💡 This is a must-know concept in pain physiology, anesthesiology, and neurotherapy. 🎓 High-yi
