TENS 05 • Neck pain / Headache
(Medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area.
The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain: the
maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the area treated
begin to contract; over this limit stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating,
so it is best to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen after 10 to 12 treatments
carried out on a daily basis; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass. Position of
electrodes: photo 25.
Warning: the device varies stimulation parameters during the program. The current may feel
different: this is perfectly normal and is envisaged by the software: raise or lower the intensity
according to your own sensitivity to reach a level of stimulation that is comfortable for you.
TENS 06 • Backache/Sciatic pain
(Medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the lumbar area or along the sciatic nerve, or both.
The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain: the
maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the area treated
begin to contract; over this limit stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating,
so it is best to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen after 15 to 20 treatments
carried out on a daily basis; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass. Program
duration: 40 minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photo 27 and 28 in the manual of positions.
TENS 07 • Sprains / Bruises
(Medical program)
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting pain locally,
producing three selectively acting, differentiated impulses. The intensity should be adjusted
to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain:
Number of treatments: until pain is lessened, on a daily basis (even 2/3 times a day).
TENS 08 • Vascularization
(Medical program)
Has a vascularizing effect on the area treated. Vascularization increases arterial flow and
consequently aids the removal of algogenic substances and helps to restore normal
physiological conditions. Do not position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Daily application is recommended, the number of applications is not defined; the program can
be used to reduce pain.
Stimulation intensity should be between the thresholds of perception and slight discomfort.
Program duration: 20 minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photo 25 and 33 in the manual of positions.
TENS 09 • Muscle relaxant
(Medical program)
Program used to speed up the recovery of muscle function after intense training or strain from
work; the effect is immediate. Adjust the intensity for moderate muscle solicitation. Two
treatments per day for three or four days. Program duration: 30 minutes. Position of electrodes:
from photo 1 to 28.
TENS 10 • Haematomas
(Medical program)
Consult a doctor before using this program to treat haematomas. Total program duration: 30
minutes. Few applications carried out within a few hours of the bruise. A combination of various
types of square-wave impulses has a graduated draining effect on the area to be treated
(impulses at different frequencies drain the area at different depths). The intensity should be
adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain, without causing muscle
contraction:
