💪 How a TENS Machine Can Help with a Rotator Cuff Injury: 👉🏻Pain Relief Without Medication TENS units work by sending gentle electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate nerves. This can block pain signals from reaching the brain and trigger endorphin release—your body’s natural painkillers. This is especially helpful when shoulder pain is sharp, persistent, or flares up with movement. 👉🏻Reduces Muscle Tension and Spasms Rotator cuff injuries often cause surrounding muscles to tighten up defensively. A TENS unit can help relax those muscles, reduce spasms, and relieve that “locked up” feeling in the shoulder and upper back. 👉🏻Improves Blood Flow for Faster Healing While TENS isn’t directly a circulation device like EMS, using it regularly can help reduce inflammation and indirectly support blood flow, especially when combined with light rehab exercises. 👉🏻Helps with Mobility and Rehab Tolerance By managing pain and reducing stiffness, a TENS machine can help you move more comfortably and stick with physical therapy. That’s key for rebuilding strength in the rotator cuff without overloading it. 👉🏻Great for Post-Surgery or Post-Injury Inflammation If you’re post-op or managing a torn or strained tendon, TENS therapy can ease discomfort and reduce the need for over-the-counter meds or stronger painkillers. 🔗 Link in bio for Vibit e-stim therapy
