1. TENS:
TENS allow the relaxation of the muscle, as well
as pain relief. TENS utilises the nervous system's own pain
relief mechanism to ease both acute and chronic pain. It can
be used for muscular or articulation pains, sciatica and for
feet, knee and back pains. The treatment can be performed
every day until the pain disappears.
2. TENS ENDORPHINIC:
This treatment can be perfor-
med every day until the pain disappears and it can be alter-
nated with the other TENS treatments. The stimulation with
light contractions, causes the circulation increasing and
helps the muscles to relax. The effect, induced by the relea-
se of endorphins, causes a delayed analgesic action but that
continues for hours (6 / 12 hours)
3. SCIATICA:
The program is ideal for people who suffer
of pain caused by the sciatic nerve inflammation. The pain
often starts from the lumbar zone and spreads until feet.
Place the electrodes on the painful leg as specified in the
images of this manual. It can be performed every day until
the pain disappears.
Intensity:
pins and needles sensation without pain.
Should not cause muscle contractions.
4. BACKACHE:
This program is efficacious in case of
stressed vertebral column. The pain can be caused by an
incorrect body position or for example by a prolonged per-
manence at the wheel or sitting at the writing desk. The
program helps the blood flow increasing eliminating the
substance that causes the pain. The effect is not immediate
but it lasts for 6-12 hours. It can be performed until the pain
stops.
Intensity:
Pins and needles sensation without pain.
5. CERVICAL:
Anthalgic current Tens Burst. This pro-
gram is very useful for neck pain relief. It can be performed
every day until the pain stops.
Intensity: pins and needles sensation without pain. Should
not cause muscle contractions.
6. ARTHRITIS SHOULDER:
The program has a sedati-
ve anthalgic effect. It relieves the chronic and acute shoul-
der pain. The pain can be caused by a series of erroneous
movement or by an intense physical work (for example
weight lifting). It can be associated to an Endorphinic
TENS program. It can be performed every day until the
pain stops.
Intensity:
pins and needles sensation without pain. Should
not cause muscle contractions.
7. DRAINAGE:
The coordinated stimulation achieved by
the two channels of the stimulator, produces a muscular
pumping effect, starting at the extremity of the limb and
spreading all the way to its root. The pumping action
mainly activates the venous but also the lymphatic system
by mechanical effect. Its objective is to improve the circu-
lation and to promote the elimination of toxins. It also helps
to prevent the night cramp and it is useful for people who
suffer of limb swelling.
Intensity:
Visible muscle vibration.
8. ATROPHY/MUSCULAR RESUMING:
The program
is particularly useful after a period of interruptions. After
injuries or other interruptions in physical activity the
muscle often lose strength and muscle mass. It is important
to restore normal muscle capacity as soon as possible. This
program gives the possibility to train specific muscles that
are affected.
Intensity:
it is advisable to start with low intensity gra-
dually increasing
Attention! Seek medical advice for establishing time
and work mode.
Programs and protocols of health and tens, are generic suggestion about the treatments to be executed. They must be confirmed by
