TENS6 • Back/Sciatic pain (medical program)
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 treated area begin to contract; over this limit the
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 daily; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 27 and 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS7 • Sprains/Bruises (medical program)
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting pain
locally, producing three selectively acting, differentiated impulses. Until pain is
lessened, the treatment is recommended daily (even 2/3 times a day).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in Figure1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS8 • Vascularization (medical program)
Has a vascularizing effect on the treated area. Vascularization increases arterial
flow and consequently aids the removal of allogenic 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.
Session duration: 20 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 25 to 33 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the perception threshold and slight discomfort.
TENS9 • Muscle relaxant (medical program)
Program used to speed up the recovery of muscle function after intense training
or strain from work; the effect is immediate. Two treatments per day for three or
four days are recommended.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted in order to have a moderate muscle solicitation.
