PROGRAM LIST “PAIN ANTALGIC – TENS”
Attention! The TENS programs reduce the pain but they do not eliminate the cause. If the pain continues,
please consult the doctor.
Conventional antalgic tens
It uses the mechanisms of the
nervous system to reduce both the
acute and chronic pain. The
impulses to obstruct the ways of
pain propagation are sent through
the nerves. It acts on pain
symptoms with immediate effect.
It can be used every time you
need to reduce the pain.
Time: 30'
Intensity: a not painful
formication
Electrode placement: 21-27-
28-29-30-32-34-37-40-41-42-
43-47-48
It uses the mechanisms of the
nervous system to reduce both the
acute and chronic pain. The
impulses to obstruct the ways of
pain propagation are sent through
the nerves.
It is indicated for longer
treatment cycles as, thanks to
the continuous variation of the
impulse frequency, this
program avoids that the
excitable fibers accustom to
the stimulation.
Time: 30'
Intensity: a not painful
formication
Electrode placement: 21-27-
28-29-30-32-34-37-40-41-42-
43-47-48
It has an analgesic action thanks
to the release of endorphins. In
this case, the analgesic effect is
delayed, after the end of the
treatment.
It is ideal to treat chronic pains
as it increases the pain
threshold.
Time: two phases, 20’+ 20’
Intensity: a not painful
formication
Electrode placement: 21-27-
28-29-30-32-34-37-40-41-42-
43-47-48
Low frequency antalgic Tens
The low frequencies of this
program permit to obtain an
antalgic effect together with a
muscle relaxation.
Ideal for acute and chronic
pains, which lead to
contractures and muscle
stiffness.
Time: 30'
Intensity: a not painful
formication
Electrode placement: 21-27-
