Is a tens unit good for ankle tendonitis?

Treats symptoms: A tens unit is used to treat pain. It does not enhance the actually heal the condition. There are other modalities of physical therapy that actually will treat the injury, i.e. Ultrasound, electrical stimulation, etc... The bottom line is reducing the inflammation which cause the pain and further injury.
