Getting to know your device
What is a TENS+EMS SuperDuoPlus unit and what can it do?
EMS/TENS units fall into the electrostimulation device category. They provide three basic functions suitable for combined operation:
1. Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS)
2. Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS)
3. A massage effect triggered by electrical signals
The unit also features two independent stimulation channels and four self-adhesive electrodes. It offers a wide range of functions for
increasing general well-being, pain relief, maintaining physical fitness, relaxation, muscle revitalization, and combating tiredness. For
these purposes, you can either choose from pre-set programs or specify your own to suit your individual needs.
The principle of electrostimulation devices is based on the imitation f impulses in our bodies that are transferred to nerve and muscle
fibers using electrodes via our skin. The electrodes can be applied to many parts of the body; the electrical impulses are completely
harmless and virtually painless. In certain applications, you will merely notice a slight tingling or vibrating sensation. The electrical
impulses that are sent into the tissue influence the transmission of stimulation into nerves, nerve centers, and muscle groups in the
application area.
Electrostimulation usually only has an effect after regular applications. With regard to muscles, electrostimulation does not replace
regular training. However, it is a sensible, supplementary training element. TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation,
relates to the electrical stimulation of the nerves via the skin. TENS is an effective non-pharmacological method of treating different
types of pain that have a variety of causes. It has no side effects if administered correctly. The method has been clinically tested and
approved and can be used for simple self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by inhibiting the
transference of pain to nerve fibers (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses) and by increasing the secretion of endorphins in the
body. Their effect on the central nervous system reduces the sensation of pain. The method is scientifically substantiated and
approved as a form of medical treatment. Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your
doctor will also give you instructions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment regime.
TENS is clinically tested and approved to treat the following complaints:
Back pain, particularly in the lumbar/cervical spine area
Sore joints (e.g. knee, hip and shoulder joints)
Neuralgia
Menstrual cramps in women
