When outside forces are applied to bone it has the potential to fail. Fractures occur when bone cannot withstand those outside forces. During repeated efforts (as in running),the muscles become unable to support the skeleton during impact as the foot strikes the ground, the load is transferred to the bone.

As the loading surpasses the capacity of the bone to adapt, a fracture develops. The nerve endings that surround bones contain pain fibers and and these fibers become irritated when the bone is broken or bruised.

Pain can develop after injury to any level of the nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system may be involved. Nerve pain is often puzzling and frustrating for people as it seems to respond poorly to standard pain therapies.

This mini wireless TENS (Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulator) /EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulator) provides Low Frequency Therapy. Which makes use of weak electrical currents that are applied to the body to directly stimulate muscles, nerve fibers and acupuncture pathways.

This form of therapy serves to relax the muscles, reshape the body, calm the nerves system, improve blood circulation and assist in the natural healing of applying areas.
