stimulation is not recommended for particularly sensitive people and in any case the electrodes should
not be positioned in sensitive areas such as the face and genitals or close to wounds.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the painful area as shown in illustration 1.
TENS 4 • Anti-inflammatory
Program recommended for inflammatory conditions. To be applied until the inflammatory state is
lessened (10-15 applications, once a day; the daily treatments can be doubled if required). Identify the
area to be treated and position the electrodes as shown in illustration 1. Adjust the intensity until a
tingling feeling is produced in the area treated; avoid contracting the surrounding muscles.
Program duration: 30 minutes.
TENS 5 • Neck pain / Headache
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area.
The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain: the
maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the area treated begin to
contract; over this limit stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best
to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen after 10 to 12 treatments carried out on a daily
basis; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass. Position of electrodes: photo 25.
Warning: the device varies stimulation parameters during the program. The current may feel different:
this is perfectly normal and is envisaged by the software: raise or lower the intensity according to your
own sensitivity to reach a level of stimulation that is comfortable for you.
TENS 6 • Backache/Sciatic pain
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the lumbar area or along the sciatic nerve, or both. The
intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum
intensity level is the moment in which the muscles surrounding the area treated begin to contract; over
this limit stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best to stop before
that point. The first benefits can be seen after 15 to 20 treatments carried out on a daily basis; proceed
with the treatment until the symptoms pass. Program duration: 40 minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photo 27 and 28 in the manual of positions.
TENS 7 • Sprains / Bruises
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting pain locally, producing
three selectively acting, differentiated impulses. The intensity should be adjusted to a level between
the thresholds of perception and pain:
Number of treatments: until pain is lessened, on a daily basis (even 2/3 times a day).
TENS 8 • Vascularization
Has a vascularizing effect on the area treated. Vascularization increases arterial flow and consequently
aids the removal of algogenic substances and helps to restore normal physiological conditions. Do not
position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Daily application is recommended, the number of applications is not defined; the program can be
used to reduce pain.
Stimulation intensity should be between the thresholds of perception and slight discomfort.
Program duration: 20 minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photo 25 and 33 in the manual of positions.
