from a variety of causes. It has no side effects if administered cor-
rectly. The method has been clinically tested and approved and can
be used for simple self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-sup-
pressing effect is achieved by inhibiting the transfer of pain to nerve
fibres (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses) and by increasing
the secretion of endorphins in the body. Their effect on the central
nervous system reduces the sensation of pain. The method has
been scientifically substantiated and approved as a form of medical
treatment. Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must
be checked by your doctor. Your doctor will also give you instruc-
tions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment regime.
TENS is clinically tested and approved to treat the following comp-
laints:
· Back pain, particularly in the lumbar/cervical spine area.
· Sore joints (e.g. knee, hip and shoulder joints).
· Neuralgia.
· Menstrual cramps in women.
· Pain resulting from injury to the musculoskeletal system.
· Pain caused by circulatory disorders.
· Chronic pain with various causes.
4.2 EMS/massage
4.2.1 Intended use for EMS/massage
Furthermore, the device is intended to allow people to use EMS
(electrical muscle stimulation) to strengthen the muscles, for regene-
ration and for relaxing massage.
4.2.2 Target group for EMS/massage
This device is suitable for self-treatment by adults who want to
strengthen, regenerate or massage their muscles. Users should also
discuss use of the device with their doctor.
4.2.3 Indications for EMS/massage
In sports and fitness, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is used
to complement conventional muscle training, to increase the per-
formance of muscle groups and to adjust physical proportions to
achieve the desired aesthetic results, amongst other things. The-
re are two different types of EMS application. One is for targeted
strengthening of the muscles (activating application), and the other
is to achieve a relaxing, restful effect (relaxing application).
The activating application involves:
• Muscle training to increase endurance and/or
• Muscle training to support strengthening of certain muscles
• Or muscle groups to achieve desired changes in body propor-
tions.
The relaxing application involves:
• Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension.
• Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue.
• Acceleration of muscle regeneration after intense muscle perfor-
mance (e.g. after a marathon).
Thanks to integrated massage technology, the device is also able
to relieve muscle tension and combat fatigue with a program based
on the sensation and effects of a real massage. The positioning
suggestions and program tables in these instructions for use allow
you to quickly and simply determine the corresponding application
(depending on the affected area of the body) and set the device to
achieve the desired effects. Thanks to the two separately adjustable
channels, the Digital TENS/EMS device offers you the advantage of
being able to set the intensity of the impulses independently from
each other for two treatment areas on the body, for example to co-
ver both sides of your body or to evenly stimulate larger areas of tis-
sue. The option to individually set the intensity of each channel also
enables you to treat two separate areas of the body simultaneously
instead of having to treat the individual areas in turn. This saves you
time.
