I had a few TENS sessions under the guidance of a physiotherapist about 5 years ago when I did my neck in during a house move. It didn't work for me as it made my vertigo much worse (i have 2 hernias in my neck which play up fron time to time!). i think it works by getting you used to higher pain levels than you have naturally so you don't "feel" your actual pain level any more. You have to increase it gradually to tune into your own level. i think they can tone up your muscles too!
