Enhancing Mobility and Muscle Relaxation with PENS Therapy at In Touch Wellness Center

Enhancing Mobility and Muscle Relaxation with PENS Therapy at In Touch Wellness CenterAt In Touch Wellness Center, we are committed to offering advanced, effective therapies to help you achieve optimal health and well-being. One of the innovative treatments we offer is Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS), a revolutionary approach designed to relax muscles, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

What Is PENS Therapy?

PENS therapy combines the ancient practice of acupuncture with modern technology to address various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. The procedure involves the insertion of thin, acupuncture-like needles into the skin near targeted nerves or muscles. These needles are connected to a low-level electric current, which stimulates the nerves and muscles to achieve therapeutic effects.

How PENS Therapy Works

The primary goal of PENS therapy is to modulate nerve and muscle function. The gentle electric current helps to:

  • Relax tight muscles: Electrical stimulation interrupts the pain cycle and calms hyperactive muscle fibers.
  • Improve mobility: By reducing muscle stiffness, PENS therapy can help restore range of motion.
  • Reduce chronic pain: The therapy stimulates endorphin release, the body’s natural painkillers, offering relief from persistent discomfort.

Conditions Treated with PENS Therapy

PENS therapy can address a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Chronic back and neck pain
  • Sciatica
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Arthritis
  • Muscle spasms
  • Post-surgical pain
  • Sports injuries

What to Expect During PENS Therapy

A typical PENS therapy session at In Touch Wellness Center involves the following steps:

  1. Initial Assessment: Our specialists will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals to tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.
  2. Needle Placement: Tiny needles are strategically placed near the affected area or along nerve pathways.
  3. Electrical Stimulation: A mild electrical current is applied to the needles, creating a tingling sensation. The intensity is adjusted for comfort.
  4. Session Duration: Each session lasts approximately 20–30 minutes. Most patients experience relaxation and noticeable improvements within a few sessions.

Benefits of PENS Therapy

PENS therapy offers numerous benefits:

  • Non-invasive and minimally uncomfortable
  • Promotes natural healing processes
  • Requires little to no downtime
  • Complements other treatments, such as physical therapy and chiropractic care
  • Provides both immediate and long-term relief
