A Brief Introduction to The Tens Ems Electrode

The tens electrode is mainly a medical device that operates electronically. TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation which means treatment across the skin. The electric current passing out through the device controls the nerves of the human body and stimulates it. It is actually a device that you can operate with the help of a battery. The ease of connectivity can be maintained with the help of a belt, and the flow of electric current works as a stimulant.

Operation of the tens ems electrode

The tens ems electrode mainly helps an individual to receive short-term relief from severe pain in their bodies. The tens ems electrode mainly undergoes the pain management program as per the guidance of a medical practitioner who is trained in using the device.

How active is the tens ems electrode towards pain?

The tens ems electrode controls body pain in two different ways:

  1. Motor Level Stimulation- This helps the body to release the opiate form of substances present in the human body to give it short-term pain relief.
  2. Sensory Level Stimulation- The electrical impulses generated by the tens machine usually cause interference with the body's pain and blocks the neural gate.

Ways to use the tens ems electrode:

The tens ems machines utilize electrodes that are self-adhesive that provide a periodic replacement. The most common forms of electrodes must be supplied to the patients suffering from pain after tracking the exact location and the cause of the pain. However, the cost of the replacement of the electrodes remains at a minimum level each time after use. The best part is that most of the TENS pads are highly reusable, and this gives you the best feasibility for money. however, you should consult a doctor to use the TENS pads not more than thrice a day.

Description of the tens ems electrode

Back pain is instantly relieved using the tens ems electrode machine through its generation of electrical pulses that stimulate the muscles and imposes a relaxing effect. These are of very high quality and perfect for re-usability. The ems electrodes are mainly used by the medical practitioners of the healthcare certified departments to provide quality pain-relief treatment to patients suffering from severe pain.

The main reasons behind changing the electrode pads of the tens ems machine

There are several reasons why an individual must choose to change their electrode pads after a few uses. Some of the main reasons to change the electrode pads are as follows:

  1. The pads usually dry after a few uses and do not stick appropriately.
  2. The pad usually leaves behind a residue of the gel on the skin that can later irritate.
  3. In case the conductivity of electricity for the pads gets poor, the battery life is significantly reduced for the machine.
  4. They can become too stiff and do not easily match the contour of the human body.
  5. The wires can be seen protruding out of the electrodes once used several times.
  6. In case the pads get thinner, they can impose electric shocks and cause skin burns.
  7. Features of the tens ems electrode
  8. The tens ems electrode is soft to touch and self-adhesive.
  9. These do not cause any irritation to the skin.
  10. The pads are of high quality and are gelled adequately.
However, there are certain precautions that you should take before you start using the TENS electrodes. You should clean your skin very well, with soap and plain water before these electrodes are placed on your skin. You can also brush the electrolyte pads and also arrange for electrolyte gels and sprays to keep your skin in a healthy condition.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
