Torticollis (recent and acute back of the
neck muscle pains)
A s a consequence of various circumstances,
such as, for example, a rather sudden
movement of the neck, an incorrect sleeping
position or exposure to a cold environment,
a sharp pain may be felt in the back of the
neck often accompanied by a considerable
reduction of the mobility of the cervical
region. A person affected by this problem
has contracted muscles in the back of the
neck and feels a sharp pain there. Together
these symptoms represent what is known
as “torticollis”, which is mainly the result
of a sharp and intense contracture of the
muscles in the back of the neck.
I n this kind of situation, it is always neces-
sary to consult a doctor in order to receive
appropriate treatment.
I n addition, Compex' specific Torticollis
program can effectively help to relax the
muscles and eliminate the pain.
Cycle duration: 1 week, 1 x/day

Chronic pain in the joints
(eg: gonarthrosis = arthrosis of the knee)
V arious factors, such as an overweight
condition, age, shock, incorrect body
positions, compressions, etc., are bad for
the joints. Under the action of these
unfavourable factors, the joints deteriorate,
and become inflamed and painful. This is
known as arthritis, mostly affecting the
large joints, such as the hip, the knee or
the shoulder. The pain in these joints is
called “arthralgia”.
T he Compex Arthralgia program supplies
specific currents to combat this type of
pain.
T he Arthralgia program does not lead to
regeneration of the joint but can be used to
supplement treatment prescribed by the
doctor, who must always be consulted for
this type of pain.
Cycle duration: 1 week, 1 x/day minimum, then
adapt according to how the pain develops
According to requirements, the Arthralgia
program can be repeated several times
during the same day
Program: Arthralgia 26 ◊
