TENS vs EMS: Which One Is Right for You?
Share
TENS and EMS devices look similar but they serve two very different purposes. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right tool for your needs.
TENS therapy is designed for pain relief. It works by blocking pain signals and releasing endorphins, making it ideal for conditions such as back pain, sciatica, arthritis, and sports injuries.
EMS, which stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation, is built for muscle activation and strengthening. It contracts muscles through electrical impulses, helping with rehabilitation, recovery, and fitness training.
If your goal is natural pain management, a TENS device is your best choice. If you want to improve muscle performance or speed up recovery from workouts, EMS is the way forward. At Evernice Therapy, we guide clients in choosing the right device, and for those who want both benefits, a dual TENS and EMS unit is an excellent option.
