muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household
and work activities
For treating torticollis pain: a sharp pain in the neck, often accompanies by considerable reduction of the mobility of the cervical
region. This protocol produces very low frequency stimulation twitches to reduce muscle tension during rest of the stimulated
muscles.

Low Frequency TENS
Symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable
pain
Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching
muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and
work activities
This low frequency TENS protocol is generally used to manage chronic pains, can be varied with or accompanied by more comfortable
Burst TENS or less adaptive Low Range Frequency Modulated TENS protocols. Low frequency pulses alleviate pain by stimulating
muscles to release the endorphins. In addition, muscle twitches also increase local blood circulation.

Post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain
Temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching
muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and
work activities
This protocol can for treatment of various chronic pain conditions such as arthralgia, epicondilitis, lower back muscle pains etc.
Modulation of frequencies helps to avoid adaptation. Adjust pulse width to patient pain sensitivity level in the treatment area.
