Relieve Period Pain Naturally: How TENS Machines Can Help

Top 3 Reasons Why TENS Hire Perth Is Your Trusted Choice for Pain Relief

Period pain can be a monthly struggle for many women, impacting their daily lives and well-being. While over-the-counter period pain relief options are commonly used, not everyone finds them effective or desirable. For those looking for a natural, non-invasive alternative, a TENS machine for period pain offers a promising solution.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machines provide pain relief without the need for medication, making them an attractive choice for managing menstrual discomfort. Let’s explore how TENS machines work, their benefits and how you can easily access TENS machine hire in Perth.

The way TENS machines help with period pain is based on the "gate control theory" of pain. According to this theory, the electrical impulses from the TENS machine compete with the pain signals trying to reach your brain, essentially closing the gate on those pain signals. This makes it harder for the brain to recognise the pain and hence provides relief from period pain and cramps.

If you’re looking for a natural and effective way to manage menstrual cramps, a TENS machine could be a great option. Here are a few reasons why it might be worth considering:

Using a TENS machine for period pain is straightforward, but it’s essential to follow some basic steps to ensure optimal results:

• Correct placement of pads 
  Position the adhesive electrode pads on the lower abdomen or back, targeting the areas where you feel the most pain. It’s important to place the pads on clean, dry skin for effective adhesion and stimulation. When you are finished using the TENS machine we recommend placing the electrode pads back onto the plastic so they remain adhesive for further use
  
  

• Adjust the settings
  Start with a low-intensity setting and gradually increase until you find a level that provides relief without discomfort. Each session can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your preference and the severity of your pain
  
  

• Consistency is key
  For best results for period pain relief, use the TENS machine regularly during your period. Consistent use can help keep pain at bay and improve your overall comfort throughout the day. The TENS Machine also has a boost button which will provide stronger sensations if your period pain becomes more intense
  
  

• Consultation and safety
  While TENS machines are generally safe, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before using one, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. TENS Machines are not waterproof so we advise you to please remove the TENS machine prior to using a bath or shower for period pain relief

Period pain for me can sometimes be crippling for the first 24 hours, like I want to be bent in half to relieve it ! The combination of clary sage essential oil, a heat pack and the TENS machine is a trifecta of bliss for me. When my period pains are mild I only need the TENS machine electrode pads on my back. When my period pains are really bad I often use two electrode pads on my back and two on my tummy. The sensations here are a little different. In my back it feel like a massage, but in my tummy it feels like I'm being tickled or have butterflies. When I'm using the TENS Machine for period pains, it feels so relieving. Sometimes to the point that I can't actually feel the period pains at all and all I focus on is he sensations coming through the electrode pads. I 100% recommend a TENS Machine for the relief of period pain
