The gentle electrical buzzing from the TENS unit travels to your brain faster than the slower pain signals do. By flooding your nerves with this tingling sensation, it effectively \"blocks\" the pain signals from getting through. (Think of it like instinctively rubbing your elbow after you bump it - the new rubbing sensation distracts your brain from the pain).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTriggering Endorphins: The electrical pulses can also stimulate your body to produce higher levels of endorphins, which are your brain's natural, built-in painkillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValuTrode is AMC’s value‑tier electrode line designed to deliver reliable performance at an accessible price point.
