For
Conservative Non-Invasive Pain Management TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATOR (TENS)
Many clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of TENS for effective pain
relief. For more than 30 years now, TENS has become an established and widely used method
of therapy for the treatment of many acute and chronic pain syndromes.

options here Pain warns the body of injury. Without
it, vital parts of the body might be injured without our knowledge. Pain, once
diagnosed serves no apparent purpose, especially long lasting or persistent pain.
The Comfort-Stim TENS transmits small electrical pulses through the skin to the underlying
peripheral nerves to help control this pain. It's easy to use, safe and portable and
this makes it a preferred treatment over the long term use of medications, nerve
blocks, or surgery for chronic pain. |  VERSATILITY - Delivers effective treatment
for many different chronic and acute pain syndromes. Dual channels allow for treatment on two separate painful
sites at the same time.
FLEXIBILITY - Choose one of 3 stimulation modes, independent dual channels, and fully adjustable intensity, pulse width and pulse frequency controls.
All these features afford the user complete
control of their pain management program. PORTABILITY - Unbelievably it only
weighs 130 grams including the battery. It will clip onto a belt or may be hidden
inside a pocket and thus allow the user the freedom to treat themselves at work
or wherever they may be. The unit is supplied in a hard protective carry
case with all its necessary accessories for complete
portability.
HOW DOES TENS WORK: Conventional or high frequency TENS is based on the theory that
continuous mild electrical activity may block the pain signal travelling to the
brain. If the pain signal does not get through to the brain, the pain is not “felt”.
Low frequency TENS is based on the theory that short bursts of electrical activity
may cause the body to release its own pain relieving substances, called endorphins.
INDICATIONS: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
devices are used for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long term)
intractable pain and as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post surgical
and post traumatic acute pain problems. Some examples of pain syndromes that may
be treated using TENS are :-
|  Arthritis
Osteoarthritis Cervical spondylosis Low back pain Fibrositis/Myofascial pain syndromes
Acute sprains/strains e.g. Sports injuries Tendinitis/Bursitis Carpal Tunnel syndrome
| Radiculopathy Peripheral nerve injuries Phantom limb pain Post herpetic neuralgia Post operative pain Spinal cord disorders Pain in the terminally ill e.g. Metastasis Labour pain |
