Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
SpaBuddy Mini GO. Transcutaneous (through
the skin) Electrical Nerve Stimulation, known as
TENS, is a non-invasive therapy used to relieve
pain. Unlike strong pain medication, TENS does
not cause nausea, drowsiness or lead to depen-
dence.
Reviewing the medical literature confirms the
beneficial effect of TENS therapy on relieving
acute and chronic pain, soothing bodily fatigue in
congested limbs and improving blood circulation in
treated areas.
Statement of Intended Purpose
The SpaBuddy Mini GO is a high frequency medi-
cal device intended for the relief of both acute and
chronic pain. This device may be used to relieve
a variety of painful complaints including sciatica,
period pain, migraine, nocturnal leg cramps, mus-
cular pain and stiffness due to sport, domestic or
work activities.
How TENS Works
The mechanism of action for TENS is unclear but
is believed to involve a series response within the
body against pain. The SpaBuddy Mini GO trans-
mits electrical impulses through electrodes placed
on the painful area. These impulses, which are
comparable to body’s natural bioelectricity, are felt
as a tingling sensation on the skin initially exer-
cising muscles, warming the area and improving
local circulation. After several minutes of treatment
the release of Endorphins and Enkephalins is
stimulated. These substances are the body’s natu-
ral pain relieving hormones and act by raising the
threshold of pain perception.
