Why Choose TENS for Elbow Pain

Regardless of whether it is tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, bursitis, or strain from overuse. You can treat elbow pain with a TENS device and the right electrodes. With the help of the electrical impulses from a TENS device, the nerves can no longer pass on the pain, the pain transmission to the brain is blocked, and the discomfort quickly subsides. Another effect of TENS therapy is the release of endorphins, the body’s own pain-relieving hormones. In addition, stimulation current therapy supports blood circulation. Pain relief with a TENS device is therefore both simple and effective.

With proper electrode placement, excellent effects can be achieved on the elbow. You can treat your painful elbow at home, without medication and without constant doctor’s visits.

Electrode Pad Placement for Elbow Pain

Place the electrodes so that the painful area lies between them. For example, one electrode on the back of the forearm and the other on the back of the upper arm, as shown in the picture. We recommend using the 2x2 in electrodes, which are included with the device upon purchase.

What Causes Elbow Pain?

Pain in the elbow or surrounding muscles can have many causes. Elbow problems often also affect the forearm and wrist, which can also benefit from TENS treatment. Elbow pain may result from repetitive movements, overexertion, tendonitis (such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow), arthritis, or natural wear and tear. Since the elbow is involved in many daily movements, it is particularly prone to strain and injury. Sports or accidents can also cause ongoing elbow pain that does not easily subside. Many people suffer from chronic elbow pain that significantly impacts daily activities.

It is important to distinguish between sudden, acute pain, pain under strain, and persistent pain. If the pain continues for more than 3 months, it may be classified as chronic.
