How Can Pain And Inflammation In The Back Be Treated?
If back pain is inflamation in T10/11/12 and I am using Tens machine on left side (where pain is and tingling is), do I use it during walking/exercise or when at rest. I currently use not when walking or exercising but almost all day doing regular activity. I have had spinal injections and they help for a while but I was using the machine to perhaps keep the pain/tingling/numbness from recurring. Thank you

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) machine works on principle of counter irritation.
It is good for chronic backache.
You can use it all the time like walking, running, working, sitting, sleeping etc.
No harm in it.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
