TENS Application for Wrist Pain

Content Overview

Regardless of whether it is tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or strain from repetitive movements. You can treat wrist 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. These are natural hormones that reduce pain. The stimulation current therapy also promotes blood circulation. Pain relief with a TENS device is therefore as simple as it is effective.

With the right electrode placement, very good results can be achieved on the wrist. You can treat your sore wrist at home, without medication and without frequent visits to the doctor.

Electrode Pad Placement for Wrist Pain

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

What Causes Wrist Pain?

Pain in the wrist, hand, or forearm can have many causes. Wrist problems often also affect grip strength and hand mobility, which can also benefit from TENS treatment. Wrist pain can result from overexertion, repetitive strain (e.g., typing or sports), arthritis, tendonitis, but also from incorrect posture or simple wear and tear. Our wrists are constantly in use during daily activities, making them highly prone to problems. Injuries or accidents can also cause persistent wrist pain. Many people suffer from chronic wrist pain that significantly limits their daily life.

A distinction must be made between sudden, acute wrist pain and pain that only occurs with strain. If the pain persists for 3 months or longer, it may be considered chronic pain.
