TENS + Physical Therapy Aids Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Summary: If you have fibromyalgia, moving around can be really painful. A new study shows that adding a TENS unit—a small device that sends mild electrical pulses to your nerves—to regular physical therapy can make a huge difference.

Researchers looked at 384 patients and found that those who used TENS along with physical therapy had much less pain when moving compared to those who only did physical therapy. In fact, 72% of the TENS group felt their overall condition improved! It is a safe, easy way to get extra relief right alongside your normal physical therapy and pain medicines.
