A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulationmachine (TENS) uses electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.
You will be loaned a TENS machine for a two-week trial, free of charge.
An explanation of how the TENS works and when not to use the machine will be explained.
How to purchase or return your TENS machine
Nidd Valley will write to you within the trial period to offer you an option to either purchase the TENS or send it back.
If you wish to send it back there is a pre-paid envelope in your pack and you will have to return to your post office.
You will be referred from a physio or through the Pain Team.
You will be shown in a group of four or fewer, how to use a TENS machine.
At the same class, you will be shown individually the best setting, and where to put it, for your own needs.
You will be sent an appointment in the post.
