How does it work?
​A TENS unit connects four electrodes placed on your back that provide steady electrical stimulation (pins and needles sensations). During contractions, the stimuli increase in intensity and increase the endorphins released by the brain. These sensations flood the brain with positive stimuli that can dampen/block our perception of pain from the surges.
