How TENS Works
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS stimulates your body's own natural defences against pain. It is totally safe, and has been used successfully by thousands of pain sufferers.
TENS sends a gentle stimulation through the skin which works in TWO ways:-
Pain Gate
Stimulating the sensory nerves, which carry touch and temperature signals. These nerves go to the same connections in the spine as the nerves carrying pain. A strong sensory signal will block the pain signal travelling up the spine to the brain. This is known as closing the "Pain Gate" and takes effect quite quickly after the unit is switched on. You can use TENS several times a day, for as long as you like.
Endorphin Release
At low frequency settings, and slightly stronger output, TENS drives the motor nerves to produce a small repetitive muscle contraction. This is seen by the brain as exercise, and this promotes release of Endorphins - your body's own natural pain killer. The relief builds up and normally takes about 40 minutes to reach a maximum level which can last for hours after the machine is switched off. By using TENS you can expect to achieve a significant reduction in pain.
Side Effects
There are no known side effects to TENS use and long-term TENS use is not harmful.
Positioning the electrodes for TENS
The TENS effect is confined to the nerves entering a single vertebra in the spine. To be effective, you therefore need to stimulate a sensory nerve entering the spine at the same level as the nerve carrying the pain. For this reason electrodes are usually first placed where the greatest pain is felt. Nerves follow the curve of the ribs, and spiral around the limbs, so you will need to try different positions until you find the best for you. Try moving the electrodes short distances to establish the positions that are most effective for you.
TENS is clinically tested and approved for many applications including
· Back pain, and lumbar and cervical spine problems
· Joint pain (e.g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder)
· Neuralgia
· Headaches
· Women’s period pains
· Pain after injuries to musculoskeletal system
· Pain with circulatory problems
· Chronic pain through various causes
E.M.S.: What it is and how it Works
EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation and is a widespread and generally recognized method that 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 has two main applications. Firstly, a targeted strengthening of musculature can be produced (Activating application) and secondly a relaxing, resting effect can also be achieved (Relaxing application).
EMS successfully rebuilds and tones muscles
Different levels of muscle contraction are achieved by sending electrical impulses of various types, depending on the programme selected, into the body. These muscle contractions retrain the muscles, increase their effectiveness and improve their condition. This is beneficial where muscles - for whatever reason - have not been in regular use and have lost condition (muscle atrophy). For sports, the benefit is to increase the effect of training and enhance performance. Typical uses are: -
Muscle training to improve endurance performance
Muscle training to support the strengthening of certain muscles or muscle groups in order to achieve desired changes to body proportions.
Sports training, covering - warm-up, strength, speed, power, resistance, endurance and recovery
Rehabilitation in relation to sports injury.
The effect on muscle tone of electrical stimulation (EMS) is generally only noticeable after regularly repeated application. Electrical stimulation does not replace regular exercising of the muscle but is able to reasonably supplement it.
Muscle wastage
EMS is used in the treatment of medical conditions involving muscle wastage including Neuromuscular facilitation - Muscle reduction - Muscle training - Prevention/slowing of atrophy/hypotrophy - Preventing postoperative muscle weakness - Reduction of spasticity - Maintaining or increasing range of motion - Training of partial peripheral nerve damage with signs of reinnervation - Treatment of scoliosis.
Relaxing applications includes the following
· Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension
· Improving muscular fatigue symptoms
· Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance (e.g. after a marathon). Through integrated massage technology, the Sports TENS Digital TENS/EMS also offers the possibility of reducing muscular tension and combating fatigue symptoms using a programme based on manual massage in terms of sensation and effect.
