Pain management TENS
All painful phenomena, especially pain in and around the joints, can be effectively
relieved using this program, which blocks the transmission of pain by the nervous
system.
You have pain in the region of the knee
The knee is one of the joints that is most subjected to stress in the course of physical
and sports activities, and also during simple movements in daily life, such as walking
and going upstairs, for example. Wear of the cartilage, stretching of a ligament or
irritation of a tendon may cause knee pain, which can be effectively relieved by rest or
by use of the Pain management TENS program.
Usage: use in accordance with the course of the pain; several sessions per day may be
performed if required.
Electrode position: 21
Stimulation energy: gradually increase the stimulation energy until a pronounced
tickling sensation can be felt under the electrodes.
Caution: Do not use this program for prolonged periods without
medical advice.
Chronic pain
Thanks to its analgesic action, this program provides rapid relief in case of chronic
muscle pain (back pain, lumbar pain, etc.). It boots the circulation, oxygenates and
relaxes stiff muscles.
You have muscular tension in the nape of the neck, middle back or lower back
region
Pain in the back or nape of the neck is due to chronic contraction of the muscles, with
accumulation of toxins. The pain can then become continuous or appear after only a
few minutes spent working in an unfavourable position (for example, working in front
of a computer screen). This chronic pains can be treated effectively with the Chronic
pain program which, in addition to relieving pain, reactivates the circulation and
relaxes the contracted muscles.
Usage: for 4 weeks, 2 sessions/day, with a 10-minute break between the 2 sessions.
Electrode position: 14 (nape of neck), 13 (middle back) or 12 (lower back)
Stimulation energy: increase the stimulation energy gradually until you obtain clearly
visible muscular twitches.
Caution: Do not use this program for prolonged periods without medical
advice.
