לאלפא-סטים יש מנגנון שונה מ- TENS. שיטת הטיפול של אלפא-סטים-אלקטרותרפיה באמצעות מיקרו-זרם, או MET, זהו המונח שבו משתמשים כדי לתאר את הרמה הנמוכה של הזרם שבו משתמשים לטיפול בכאבים המיושם באמצעות אלקטרודות הנדבקות מעצמן.

While everyone talks about back pain, many doctors often question whether patients really have it. Clinical and technical examinations such as X-rays, scans, MRIs and kinesiological evaluations may not always reveal a clear cause. Classic treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, epidural infiltration and even surgery do not always solve the problem.
However, physiotherapists already have a better solution-one that is pleasant and may competently control the pain without much interference with daily activities.
In America, the use of a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device is common. On the other hand, microcurrent electrotherapy (MET), even though it’s not that new, may not be common enough. In this article, we will compare TENS to MET, using the eight-parameter law, and see which gets the most credits.
