A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit and a muscle stimulator, often called "stim," both utilize electrical impulses for therapy, but have distinct roles. While a TENS unit focuses on pain relief by blocking pain signals, a muscle stimulator targets muscle activation for rehabilitation or strengthening.
