Are MagnaWave machines the same as a TENS unit?
Well the answer is no they are not the same.
(This is a question that gets asked to me on a regular basis, so let me explain the difference.)
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A TENS is a smaller, hand-held device that anyone can utilize for personal use. These devices use electricity to target and eliminate pain. MagnaWave machines emit a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) which travels much deeper into the body, penetrating muscles, tendons, and even bone! PEMF aids the body in flushing out toxins and increases oxygenation on a cellular level, which in turn reduces pain. TENS and MagnaWave are two separate types of technology and use different methods to aid in the body’s pain relief.
