Economy - Etymology. 1  The English words economy and economics can be traced back to the Greek word Î¿á¼°ÎºÎ¿Î½ÏÎ¼Î¿Ï (i.e. household management), a composite word derived from Î¿á¼¶ÎºÎ¿Ï (house;household;home) and Î½Î­Î¼Ï (manage; distribute;to deal out;dispense) by way of Î¿á¼°ÎºÎ¿Î½Î¿Î¼Î¯Î± (household management).
Today many people confuse TENS with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). EMS and TENS devices look similar, with both using long electric lead wires and electrodes. TENS is for blocking pain, where EMS is for stimulating muscles.
Surgeons and their patients are increasingly using alternative methods, such as relaxation techniques and acupuncture, to supplement conventional medicine. A combined approach to pain management is often the best option because it allows the surgeon to tailor pain control methods to each individual patient.any studies have found that TENS is useful in easing pain after surgery, as well as pain related to injuries, such as fractures and sprains. TENS may also be helpful for some chronic pain conditions, particularly low back pain. TENS is generally considered safe.
