GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EM6300A Digital TENS/EMS is a battery operated pulse generator that sends
electrical impulses electrodes to the body and reach the nerves and underlying
muscle group. This unit is a combination stimulator of TENS and EMS which can be
used for muscle stimulation and pain relief. The device is provided with four
controllable output channels, each independent of each other. An electrode pair can
be connected to each output channel. The intensity level is controlled by press
buttons.
INTRODUCTION TO TENS
EXPLANATION OF PAIN
Pain is a warning system and the body ’s method of telling us that something is wrong.
Pain is important; without it abnormal conditions may go undetected, causing damage
or injury to vital parts of our bodies.
Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body,
nature may have gone too far in its design. Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-
lasting persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until coded
message travels to the brain where it is decoded, analysed, and then reacted to. The
pain message travels from the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal
cord. Here the message is switched to different nerves that travel up the spinal cord
to the brain. The pain message is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.
EXPLANATION OF TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of
controlling pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to
modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem; it only
helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone; however, in most patients it
is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.
