Drug-free Pain Management is a Touch Away

Small, portable, and powerful Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices from OMRON offer drug-free pain relief for sore or aching muscles of the lower back, shoulder, arm, leg, and more.

Harnessing the natural pain-blocking circuitry of the nervous system, OMRON TENS devices can help relieve chronic, acute, and arthritic pain (including sore, stiff, and achy joints and muscles) without the risks and adverse events of medications.

*Acute pain refers to sore or achy muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.
