Why Choose TENS for Foot Pain

Regardless of whether it is plantar fasciitis, arthritis, an injury, or pain from standing for long periods. You can treat foot 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 transmission to the brain is blocked, and the pain quickly decreases. Another effect of TENS therapy is the release of endorphins, natural hormones that relieve pain. Stimulation current therapy also helps to promote blood circulation. Pain relief with a TENS device is therefore simple and effective. With the right electrodes, very good effects can be achieved on the foot. You can treat your painful foot at home, without medication and without frequent visits to the doctor.

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

Electrode Pad Placement for Foot Pain

Place the electrodes so that the painful area lies between them. For example, a smaller square electrode in the area of the Achilles tendon and a larger rectangular electrode on the sole of the foot, as shown in the picture. We recommend the mixed set with 2x2 in and 4x2 in electrodes.

What Causes Foot Pain?

Pain in the feet, toes, or heels can have many causes. Foot problems often also affect walking and posture, which can benefit from TENS treatment. Foot pain may come from overuse, poorly fitting shoes, lack of proper support, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, or simply from being overweight and daily strain. Our feet carry our entire body weight and endure constant pressure, which is why they are a common source of problems. Sports injuries or accidents can also lead to persistent foot pain. Many people experience chronic foot pain that restricts mobility and quality of life. A distinction must be made between acute foot pain, pain under strain, and long-lasting discomfort. Pain lasting longer than 3 months is usually considered chronic.

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.
