Adverse Reactions

Side effects of TENS therapy are generally mild, 

even with extended use. The most common side- 

effects include:

Muscle Soreness and Twitching

The constant pulsing of TENS therapy can cause 

muscle soreness and twitching due to electrical 

over-stimulation. This condition generally allevi-

ates by applying shorter treatment times or de-

creasing the frequency of daily therapy.

Skin Reddening and Soreness

Minor redness at the site of electrode placement is 

a normal skin reaction. It is not considered as skin 

irritation and normally disappears within 30 min-

utes after the electrode is removed. If the redness 

does not resolve after 30 minutes, stop treatment 

until any excessive redness has cleared.

If the skin under the electrode is irritated when 

using long treatment times, decrease the length 

of treatment. Cleansing the skin beneath the pad 

with alcohol and applying ultrasonic gel will in-

crease the conductivity of the electrodes and may 

protect the skin from irritation.

If any effects are especially bothersome, consult 

your doctor.

Preparing for Use

Before using this device ensure you are famil-

iar with the contra-indications, safety notes and 

precautions for use stated on pages 6 to 8 of this 

manual.
