For someone new to electrotherapy, how do you decide between TENS and EMS? Is one more effective for pain relief while the other focuses on muscle strengthening? In real-life use, which technology delivered better results for your specific needs?
For beginners, the choice between TENS and EMS depends on your goal. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is designed for pain relief — it sends mild electrical pulses to nerves, helping block pain signals. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), on the other hand, targets muscle fibers, promoting contraction for strengthening, recovery, or rehab. In real-life use, people often find TENS more effective for chronic pain, while EMS shines in fitness or post-injury recovery. Exploring both can help you match therapy to your needs.
