12. PLACEMENT OF ELECTRODE PADS
In order to obtain the best relief, the pads need to be placed over the
dermatomes T10, T11 and T12, which are the nerve roots that supply the
sensory fibres to the uterus. These dermatomes wrap around the body,
but do not quite meet up at the front. They run from around waist height at
the back down to the groin area at the front.
As each person’s body is different, the
Ova+
is supplied with pads which
are large enough to be effective even if not located exactly over all three
dermatomes. When the pads are placed correctly the
Ova+
will work very
well.
Therefore, if after thirty minutes considerable relief has not been achieved,
either move the pads slightly or try one of the other pad positioning areas.
There are THREE positions where the pads can be placed for maximum
benefit. It is recommended that the positions are tried in the following order
until maximum relief is obtained:
•
On the lower back
•
On the front, in a vertical format
•
On the front, in a diagonal format
Please refer to the diagrams below:
On the lower back:
Place the pads vertically either side of the spine, approximately 10cms (4
inches) apart, with the bottom of the electrodes no higher than the top of
your buttocks. The
“pigtails” should hang down from the pads.
