EMS machines sales, TENS muscle stimulators and TENS specialists. We have portable TENS units at competitive prices both within the UK and distribute our T.E.N.S. units globally.
T.E.N.S. or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a small device that many people find effective in relieving pain. TENS has become a recognised and well-proven method of treating pain.
Research, technology and quality engineering have made TENS a safe and highly effective pain relief system, recommended by Pain Clinics, doctors, maternity and physiotherapy departments throughout the UK and internationally.
How does TENS work?
TENS relieves pain in two ways. Electrical pulses pass from the machine through electrodes placed over the nerve centres. Benefit is felt firstly by blocking the pain signals normally sent to the brain through the nerve fibres, thereby interrupting the brain's awareness of pain. Secondly, the body is stimulated to increase it's own production of natural painkillers known as endorphins and enkephalins.
What are the advantages of TENS?
* TENS is an effective form of pain relief
* TENS is safe
* TENS is drug free
* TENS is non-addictive

Is TENS safe?
TENS are non-invasive and safe to use. They should however not be used by patients with heart pacemakers or serious heart rhythm problems. As with any product there are a number of necessary precautions. These are listed under our terms and conditions section and should be read thoroughly before placing an order.
All our products carry CE marking. CE marking is a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets all the appropriate provisions of the relevant legislation implementing certain European Directives.
TENS Pain Relief
Pain is the body's warning system. It is a way of letting us know something is wrong. The sensation of pain is important because without it, vital parts of our body might be injured without our knowledge. However long lasting, persistent pain, often called chronic pain, once diagnosed serves no apparent purpose.
Living with chronic pain can interfere with daily activities. Long term use of pain relieving drugs can cause side effects such as drowsiness, gastric upsets, tolerance requiring higher doses, and even addiction. Alternative medicine is now becoming increasingly more popular as a safer option to analgesic (pain killing) drugs.
TENS was developed to help provide acute pain relief and chronic pain relief and can be used to offer a better quality of life.
Natures Gate supply a variety of TENS units to suit all budgets and requirements. Our TENS machines all come with adjustable settings. This allows the user to experience a variety of treatment options so they can find which is most effective and comfortable for their condition and circumstances.
