Hello, my name is Gregory. When I was a young lad, I had to enter the health care world in an unexpected way. I developed a serious disease out of the blue that took doctors by surprise. I went through so many different testing procedures before my doctors could diagnose the rare disease.

TENS stands for subcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and a TENS machine will deliver mild electrical stimulation to the tissues of your body. The electrical impulses are delivered through small electrode pads that you place on your skin.
