patient can be in a supported sitting position or lying supine with their torso at
90 degrees to their legs and their knees bent and supported by a cushion. If
necessary, the patient can be in a prone position during the treatment.
4.6.1.5 Placement for Low Back
Pain in One Location
Use the B-set:
Place one round
electrode on the lower back
directly over the painful area.
Place the second round electrode
directly over the spine horizontally
next to the first electrode at the
pain site (see photo to the right).
The electrodes must be at least 1.0
inch apart from each other.
If there is not enough room to
place the second round electrode
over the spine horizontally next
to the first electrode, then place
the second round electrode
either above or beneath the first
electrode directly over the spine so
that there is a minimum spacing
of 1.0 inch between the two round
electrodes (see second photo to the
right which, for example, shows an
electrode placement for pain from
a facet joint).
Body Position:
The torso should
be approximately at a right angle
to the legs causing the tissue in
the lower back and buttocks to be
more taut. Therefore the patient
can be in a supported sitting
position or lying supine with
their torso at 90 degrees to their
legs and their knees bent and
supported by a cushion. If necessary, the patient can be in a prone position
during the treatment.
