1 | Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the TENS & EMS Dual pad. Please read this Instruction Manual thoroughly before
using this unit or the safe and correct use of it. Please keep this Instruction Manual always at hand for your
future reference.
The advantages:
• This is a quality product that should last a long time when used properly.
• It activates the body's own painkilling mechanisms, which sends low-intensity electrical pulses to the
nerves below the skin relieving chronic pain in a range of cases. It has been backed by studies conducted
over the world that have proved that tens for pain is very effective and has none of the side effects.
• The TENS device is very easy to use and very discreet.
• Its small size makes it convenient to wear all day and this allows you to reduce pain and return to an active
lifestyle.
• The foot sole pads allow for easy stimulation of the foot bottom instead of using the normal pads.
• The stimulation of the foot soles serves to relieve swollen and painful feet.
• The stimulator is suitable for private use.
Medical background - Explanation of pain:
Pain is a warning signal -we need these signals to tell us that something may be wrong with our body.
Without it, we may do not know that part of our body might be damaged, thereby damaging them further.
However, once we have identified damage, pain serves little purpose. Pain does not begin until coded mes-
sage travels to the brain where it is decoded, analyzed, and then reacted to. The pain message travels from
the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message is switched to different
nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain.
The pain message is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.
What is electrical stimulator and what can it do?
Digital TENS/EMS belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. It has two basic functions, which
can be used in combination.
- 1. Electrical stimulation to nerve tracts (TENS)
- 2. Electrical stimulation to muscle tissue (EMS)
It has various versatile functions in order to increase general well-being, alleviate pain, maintain physical
fitness, relaxation, and revitalize muscles and combat fatigue. The operation principle of electrical stimulati-
on equipment is based on simulating the body's own pulses which are transmitted transcutaneous to nerve
or muscle fibers by means of electrodes. The electrodes can thereby be attached to many parts of the body,
whereby the electrical stimuli are safe and practically painless. You merely feel a gentle prickling or vibrating
in some applications. The electrical pulses transmitted to the tissue affect the transmission of stimulation
in nerve conductions as well as Neuron and muscle tissue in the field of application. Electrical stimulation
does not replace regular exercising of the muscle, but is able to reasonably supplement the effect thereof.
What is TENS?
TENS, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, means electrical stimulation of nerves through the skin.
It is a non-medical method of treating pain from certain causes. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent
through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem;
it only helps control the pain.
TENS does not work for everyone; however, in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the
pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.
TENS is clinically tested and approved with the following applications:
• Back pain, particularly also lumbar and cervical spine
problem
• Joint pain (e. g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder)
• women's period pains, dysmenorrhea
• Neuralgia
What is EMS?
EMS, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, is a widespread and generally recognized method and has been used for
years in sports and rehabilitation medicine.
In the sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMS is as a supplement to conventional muscle training, in
order to increase the efficiency of muscle groups and adapt physical proportions to the desired aesthetic
results. EMS application goes in two directions: On one hand, a targeted strengthening of musculature can
be produced (Activating application) and on the other hand a relaxing, resting effect can also be achieved
(relaxing application)
• Headaches
• Pain after injuries to musculoskeletal system
• Pain with circulatory problems
• Chronic pain through various causes
