HELPFUL TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL
TENS TREATMENT
Once you have familiarised yourself with the controls and features of your TENS
device, it is important to place the TENS electrodes in a position which gives the most
pain relief. This may take 3 or 4 attempts to find the most suitable position, for
maximum pain relief.
If you are using two electrodes, place the electrodes directly onto the painful area at a
position where you feel the pain starts and where it finishes. You may now position the
electrodes around the painful area to locate the most suitable position for maximum
pain relief.
The alternative method is to use four electrodes surrounding the painful area see
examples.
The complete area between the electrodes will now be treated when positioning the
electrodes as shown.
