A member asked:
Is it safe to use a tens machine on someone with a history of pvcs (will be used on ankle) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonic nerve stimulation systems uses a small electrical current to stimulate a localized area, usually to stimulate the underlying muscle group. I see no reason to believe this localized activity at the ankle would ever affect the heart rhythm system.
