Common Question at Our Recent Conferences
Our ACA, Psychotherapy Networker, and AAPB conferences over the last couple months have gone well. We've seen a lot of old faces and have met a lot of new friends.
Often at these conferences we are approached with a common question: "How are these devices different from TENS units?" Therefore, we've decided to post the answer to this common question on our blog.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a broad category. Just like analgesics cover everything from aspirin to morphine, the TENS category encompasses everything from your older milliampere TENS devices that use the sheer power or force of electricity to block pain, to newer, more effective microcurrent stimulators which use mild currents, much like those naturally found in the body, and augment the body's bioelectrical control systems for longer lasting, more effective pain management. Beware of cheap imitations of microcurrent technologies that do nothing more than lower the output, leaving out the therapeutic benefits of specifically designed waveforms.
The Alpha-Stim 100 is classified as both a TENS for pain and a CES (cranial electrotherapy stimulator) for anxiety, depression, insomnia and related disorders. It employs a unique, proprietary waveform, proven effective through a host of clinical studies and decades of successful treatment.
To achieve its effects, TENS works either on gate-control or on gate-control and endorphin release, thus having a symptomatic pain relieving effect. Other effects on the pain will probably only be complementary. MET has a completely different mechanism, which at this time is not fully understood, but works on a cellular level and probably has its effects much closer to the cause of the injury.
TENS should only be used in vertebral electrode positions, whether the problem is a backache or not. MET on the other hand must be used in electrode positions with the injury (or the disease) between the electrodes. MET will, in most cases, be much more satisfying than TENS because of the longer lasting and more intense effects.
