Answer No, TENS is a different electrotherapy device. Tens suppresses the pain and APS TherapyTM improves the condition of the body and stimulates the selfhealing power of the body. Where TENS suppresses the symptomes will APS TherapyTM offer a durable solution.
Question I use painkillers, can I also use APS TherapyTM?
Answer In principle you can use APS TherapyTM without problems. Only the effect of the treatment is reduced by most of the painkillers. Some heavy painkillers like tramadol occupy the receptors of the nervecells. APS TherapyTM needs these receptors to work. And when receptors are taken they cannot be used for other purposes. Tramadol is a painkiller which counted as opiate. An other option is switching from tramadol to NSAID's (this can only be done in consultation with your doctor). NSAID stands for "Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs". NSAID's are used for breaking down inflammations and also have a painkilling effect and also can lower fever. These NSAID's have less negative effect on the APS TherapyTM. Examples of NSAID'S are: ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen.
