Feedback:
The client underwent acupuncture. Acupuncture is a pain-management technique in which long, thin needles are inserted into the skin. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and biofeedback are nonsurgical and nondrug procedures used to treat pain. TENS is a medically prescribed pain-management technique that delivers bursts of electricity to the skin and underlying nerves. In biofeedback, a client learns to control or alter a physiologic phenomenon. Rhizotomy involves the surgical sectioning of a nerve root close to the spinal cord.
