HOW THE DEVICE WORKS
How does the device work?
The OMRON Total Power + Heat is an innovative device that relieves chronic, acute
*
and arthritic
pain through the pain relief of TENS and soothing comfort of heat. Physical therapists have been
using the combination of heat and TENS for decades.
Scientic theory suggests that TENS therapy may work in several ways:
1. Gentle electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the pain
message from ever reaching the brain from the source of the pain.
2.
Gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body’s natural pain killers, such as
endorphins.
3.
Blood circulation improves as muscles contract and relax with the ow of the electrical stimulation.
* Acute pain refers to sore or achy muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.
