A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Unit helps reduce pain and increase circulation. Basically the vibration of the TENS follows the same pathway as the pain pathway to the brain and helps cancel it out.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) helps contract the muscles to build back up strength after an injury. With EMS the muscles will actually contract, and you can use it as a tool while exercising to help retrain the muscle to work how it’s suppose to. It uses two electrodes directly over the muscle you are trying to contract.
The Soterix PainX TENS Pro is a simple to use unit with customizable stimulation settings. It is a great alternative to pain medication. The deep vibration/massage helps relax the muscles and allow for healing.
Some of the features of the Soterix PainX TENS Pro are:
• Customizable stimulation settings, 20 intensity levels, adjustable session duration, and support for up to 8 treatment areas.
• 2 channels to treat two different areas at the same time with independent intensity control for personalized relief across separate muscle groups or body regions.
• Rechargeable for convenient use anywhere.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Do not use with a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or electronic devices. Always check with your healthcare provider before using a TENS unit.
