TENS machines release a low frequency electric current through the skin and help your body naturally block its ability to perceive pain. TENS units can help
with a wide range of aches in pains throughout pregnancy, labor, and
postpartum. TENS is a portable, drug free, noninvasive, labor pain relief option.

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS is a safe and effective means of combating pain during the process of childbirth. It works by sending comfortable, gentle pulses to the nerves through four electrode pads placed on the skin. It utilizes the Gate Theory of Pain Control by gently stimulating your sensory nerves to suppress or block the pain signal to the brain. When these pain signals are blocked, it becomes more difficult for the brain to register the sensation of pain (or it opts for the more pleasant pulsing sensation).

The OBI TENS has two main settings: burst and boost. During a space between labor contractions, the machine should be left on "burst". When a contraction begins, simply press the boost button on the side of the unit for a surge of extra power for pain relief. After the contraction ends, simply press the same button again to return back to the "burst" setting.
