The TENS machine is a compact, portable device that uses mild electrical impulses to reduce pain and promote the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers. It’s particularly popular for:

• Early Labor Support: Helps manage discomfort in the early stages of labor.

• Drug-Free Pain Relief: Ideal for expectant mothers seeking a natural alternative to medication.

• Control at Your Fingertips: Adjust intensity to match your comfort level as contractions progress.

• Targeted Back Pain Relief: Especially effective for reducing lower back pain during labor.

How Does TENS Therapy Work During Labor?

During labor, electrodes are placed on your lower back, where they deliver gentle electrical impulses. These impulses block pain signals and create a soothing, tingling sensation that many women find comforting. You remain in control, adjusting the intensity as needed throughout your labor journey.
