OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTENDED USE
The StimTec TARGET combines the treatment
capabilities of a TENS device and EMS or NMES device
all in one unit.
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation. The TENS settings are used to provide
symptomatic pain relief for chronic, acute or
post-operative pain.
EMS stands for Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation.
The EMS settings are used to provide a muscular training
for localized regeneration and muscular hypertrophy.
HOW DOES T.E.N.S. WORK
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
is believed to work by stimulating your body's own natural
defenses against pain. The unit produces a gentle
stimulus that is communicated through electrodes
normally placed over the area of pain. This stimulus helps
the body to produce natural pain relievers called
endorphins.
The correct positioning of the electrodes is important and
recommend correct placement through experimentation.
Some people feel immediate benefit from EMS/TENS,
however some may only achieve benefit after repeated
treatment sessions and over an extended period of time.
