TENS therapy, from the English “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation” is an electrotherapy that uses low voltage alternating current and is used above all to control some painful conditions, acute or chronic.
The power supply unit is connected to the skin in the area to be treated by means of two or more electrodes, applied to the skin with adhesive patches and the impulses, which can be alternating or continuous, painless or perceived by the patient as a tingling sensation, allow to reduce the pain signals that reach the nervous system, thus alleviating the painful symptoms.
Recent studies show that TENS Therapy can improve symptoms associated with pain from fractures/physical trauma, migraine, cluster headache and some chronic forms, low back pain, nausea, menopausal symptoms, circulatory disorders and low blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome.

Although it is well known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, too many people still limit themselves to consuming a coffee or little more before starting the day.
Skipping breakfast has been shown to expose the body to a number of risks and problems.
Here are 5 reasons why it is important to do it:
1• THE BODY NEEDS ENERGY Just as a car needs gasoline to start, the body needs energy to start the day and face all its commitments.
2• IT IS A GOOD SOURCE OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS Yogurt, cereals, fresh fruit, dried fruit, jam, honey, wholemeal bread or biscuits are essential foods for a healthy breakfast. Rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, they give the right energy for the whole morning, prolong the feeling of satiety, do not tire the digestive system, improve physical resistance, attention span and memory.
3• HELPS YOU EAT LESS DURING THE DAY Skipping breakfast is not the best way to maintain your ideal weight, in fact, by mid-morning you will feel the famous "hole in the stomach" and you will want to continuously eat all kinds of snacks. Furthermore, you will arrive at lunchtime hungry and will eat more than necessary.
4• PROTECTS THE HEART A good breakfast can also help reduce the risk of chronic degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes. One of the main reasons is linked to the fact that, by eating properly in the morning, you avoid consuming caloric foods that contain high percentages of fats, especially saturated fats, which are harmful to the health of the cardiovascular system, during the day.
5• WITHOUT BREAKFAST THE METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN Skipping breakfast has been shown to trigger metabolic mechanisms that slow down weight loss.
For this reason, it is recommended to divide the day into three main meals, starting with breakfast, and possibly add small snacks during the day.

When is it useful to go to the osteopath and why?
You can go to the osteopath mainly for 2 reasons: to get back to feeling good and for prevention!
To get back to feeling good, therefore solve an acute problem: back pain, neck pain, a headache, a situation that perhaps has tormented us for a long time but that has recently become more acute.
In this case, Osteopathy will have as its primary objective that of reducing pain.
The second reason why you can turn to an osteopath is for prevention.
In fact, unlike other types of treatments, Osteopathy aims, through a global approach, to seek out and correct those dysfunctions that in the long run can lead to the perception of pain even in areas far from them.
By improving the function of the entire system, you reduce the chance of injury or simply experiencing pain.
Often, when you feel pain, the shortest way is to solve the problem through the use of drugs only, that is, by alleviating the symptoms but leaving out the cause.
Turning to an osteopath, however, means relying on a different approach.
The osteopath, in fact, is able to investigate the health problem that afflicts us through a global vision that does not fossilize exclusively on the symptom and after an in-depth anamnesis the cause of the problem is sought by then doing targeted work on the latter.
Furthermore, osteopathy is suitable for everyone and at any age: from children in the first weeks of life to the elderly.
When was the last time you went to the osteopath?!
Never underestimate its importance!
