Where do you buy a TMS device?

A Transcutaneous Muscle Stimulator can now be purchased at your local pharmacy now that they have got on the bandwagon of alternative therapies. TMS can also mean Transdermal Muscle Stimulator. The former is used with acupuncture needles while the transdermal unit works with adhesive electrodes which supply the signal pulses through the skin. Either way, a TMS unit can prove to be very effective in treating pain. It works by encouraging the body to produce endorphins, the body's natural painkillers while also working to block the pain signals reaching pain receptors in the brain and spine. TMS devices are also known as "TENS" machines (transdermal electric nerve stimulation) The basic principle applied by these devices is known asFARADICS after Michael Faraday the famous scientist.
