H-waves
H-waves are rectangular, bidirectional current with a constant pulse duration that uses a low frequency (level of
2 Hz) to stimulate the muscles and a higher frequency (level of 60 Hz) to effectively relieve pain.
Low frequency increases the lymph and blood flow, accelerates toxin outflow and reduces swelling. In the higher
frequency mode, the H-waves work by their influence on the sodium pump function within the nerve and thus
produce a profound anaesthetic / analgesic effect.
