Neuropathy Treatment – TENS Therapy
A non-invasive, drug-free electrical nerve stimulation therapy designed to manage peripheral neuropathy, reduce chronic burning sensations, and restore nerve mobility.
Book TENS ConsultationWhat is TENS Therapy for Neuropathy?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is an advanced, clinically proven physiotherapy modality that delivers low-voltage electrical impulses across the skin to target damaged or hyperactive peripheral nerves.
Particularly effective for patients suffering from Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and nerve entrapments, TENS provides substantial symptomatic relief from persistent tingling, numbness, pins-and-needles, and sharp burning foot pain without reliance on heavy painkillers.
Key Clinical Benefits of TENS
Pain Signal Blockade
Utilizes the "Pain Gate Theory" to intercept and block pain impulses from traveling along damaged nerves to the brain.
Endorphin Stimulation
Encourages the natural release of endorphins—the body's own natural neurochemical pain-relievers.
Improves Microcirculation
Gentle rhythmic stimulation promotes local blood circulation, nourishing oxygen-deprived nerve endings.
Non-Invasive & Drug-Free
Eliminates drug interactions and side effects common with high-dose nerve pain medications like gabapentinoids.
How TENS Therapy Works
Electrode Placement: Specialized gel pads are placed precisely along the pathway of affected nerves in the feet, calves, or hands.
Frequency & Intensity Tuning: A qualified physiotherapist customizes the impulse frequency (Hz) and intensity to target sensory nerve fibers without discomfort.
Relaxing Session: Patients experience a soothing tingling or vibration sensation during each 20 to 30-minute clinical session.
Progressive Relief: A structured series of sessions helps gradually reduce chronic hypersensitivity and restores daily gait confidence.
Conditions Treated with TENS
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Relieves burning feet syndrome, night-time pain spikes, and foot numbness common in chronic diabetes.
Sciatica & Lumbar Radiculopathy: Alleviates radiating nerve pain extending from the lower spine down into the legs and toes.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Reduces median nerve compression pain, numbness, and tingling in the wrists and fingers.
Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy (CIPN): Assists cancer survivors in managing persistent extremity neuropathic pain.
Neuropathy TENS Protocols
| Treatment Mode | Frequency & Intensity | Primary Indication | Session Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Frequency (Conventional) | 80 – 120 Hz (Sensory Level) | Acute burning sensations, tingling, surface pain | 20 – 30 Minutes |
| Low Frequency (Acupuncture-like) | 2 – 10 Hz (Visible twitching) | Deep chronic ache, stiff muscles, endorphin release | 30 Minutes |
| Burst Mode | Intermittent pulsed trains | Severe chronic diabetic radiculopathy & leg pain | 20 – 25 Minutes |
