LF-MFs help block pain signals, stimulate diseased nerves and muscle tissues to create muscular rhythm, improve blood circulation and lymph return, reduce edema, and speed soft tissue healing.
To use, just remove the protective film from electrode pads and apply them directly over any painful areas. Make sure the power switch is in the “on” position, then press 1ch button.
Product Description
Low frequency electric pulse therapeutic instrument is a device which uses modern electronic science and technology to generate low frequency electrical pulses that are then transmitted through electrodes to target nerves underlying muscle pain in areas like shoulders, waists, backs, arms legs and feet due to overuse, exercise or work related activities. This form of treatment has proven highly successful at relieving muscle pain caused by overuse, exercise or work related activities resulting in overuse, exercise or work related activities, such as shoulders waist back arms legs feet (OWBAF). It has also proven its efficacy against chronic pain from conditions like arthritis sciatica sciatica or back pain (CVIVI).
The device can be used at home with no professional training necessary and has no adverse side effects or complications. Additionally, it may be combined with other treatments to increase effectiveness; recommended usage times: twice daily for 15 minutes each session and should not be used on pregnant women or those experiencing feverish temperatures (above 38 degrees Celsius).
TENS units work by sending an electrical current via electrodes into subcutaneous nerves in order to disrupt pain signals sent from your body. Frequencies usually range between 20-50Hz; however, lower frequencies have limited effects due to resistance from skin resistance limiting penetration of signals – known as Gate Control Theory.
Higher frequency stimulation has been shown to deliver more intense muscle stimulation and an amplified response from nerves than low frequency signals, reaching deeper into muscle fibers for enhanced interferential currents (or ICF).
Electrode Placement-the device guidance will offer instructions for where and how to place the electrode pads. They should be placed on clean, dry skin which is free from dense hair growth and does not moisturizer over time. Maintaining their adhesion over time is advisable to maintain long term success with these electrodes.
The device offers five automatic treatment modes and can also be operated manually, using its function buttons on the host for selection and monitoring its current status with its LCD.
Functions
The device uses sophisticated electronic science and technology to produce electrical pulses which are delivered by electrode pads onto peripheral nerves in order to achieve therapeutic purposes. It may help relieve sore and aching muscles in shoulders, waists, backs, legs and feet due to exercise or daily household/work activities, alleviating their associated discomforts.
For improved effectiveness of EMS treatments, amplitude (the intensity) and pulse width can be adjusted on individual stimulation waves; some devices also allow frequency of stimulation pulses to be altered within a pre-set range – higher frequencies will increase power of each contraction produced while shorter pulse durations may help decrease sensation associated with treatment for some patients.
Some EMS devices also provide the capability of combining pain relief and muscle stimulation through interspersed stimulation mode, for instance RS Medical’s RS-4i Plus allows users to run 35 minutes of high frequency 4900 and 5000Hz INF treatment before switching over for 30 minutes of low frequency 71Hz NMES therapy.
Combining NMES and INF treatments has proved immensely effective at managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) among cancer patients. Studies have demonstrated how using both treatments together can significantly decrease CINV symptoms, allowing cancer patients to remain active throughout chemotherapy treatment sessions without suffering as much from symptoms of nausea or vomiting.
Utilizing a small hand-held controller, the user can easily select their desired treatment mode and intensity of each pulse. An LCD clearly displays your settings; simply press “Manual” for manual mode selection from modes 1 through 5 which automatically returns intensity back to its starting level upon each change in mode.
This device offers a manual mode which activates electricity when pressing either 1ch or 2ch buttons, energizing both left and right hand muscles at the same time. This feature makes the manual mode particularly helpful if you plan to operate electrical stimulation for extended periods.
Safety
This device uses low-frequency electric pulses to stimulate acupuncture points and prevent nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy patients. Studies have also demonstrated its efficacy at relieving pain for cancer survivors. Furthermore, studies suggest its utility for migraine reduction, improving musculoskeletal function, relieving anxiety/depression symptoms as well as blood circulation improvements and relieving chronic numbness symptoms. It is safe and easy to use – nurses without prior acupuncture experience may use it successfully too – simply follow instructions in manual to apply stimulation at specific acupoints relevant for their condition.
EMS devices rarely deliver enough electricity to cause harm (see contraindications below), however if electrodes are placed over sensitive areas or blood vessels it could potentially produce discomfort; as a precautionary measure therapists are advised to test out their unit on themselves before administering to patients.
Select an electrode of appropriate size and shape for stimulating muscles or acupuncture points. A stimulation patch too small could result in leakage onto other muscles affecting muscle contraction; on the other hand, an electrode too large may produce uncomfortable sensations, including burning or pain sensations. A circular self-adhesive electrode with a diameter of 3 cm would be the optimal choice.
There are various modes and parameters available on this device that can be adjusted depending on your desired effect. Frequency adjustments can be made between 10-60Hz by changing the base or spectrum level; similarly, amplitude can also be altered, which affects strength of muscle contractions; it’s best to start out at lower intensities before increasing intensity to get your desired response.
Remembering the EMS device produces stimuli unfamiliar to its client is crucial, since they may mistake it as pain even though it is harmless; to reduce unnecessary anxiety the therapist should make them aware of this fact as soon as possible and assure them it is completely safe procedure.
Warranty
This device features 12 automatic therapy modes for pain relief and muscle stimulation, making it suitable for all ages and approval numbers: 225AABZX00193000. However, please be aware that using it with cardiac demand pacemakers, artificial heart lungs or any other implanted metallic or electronic equipment could result in malfunction and injury to either party.
The device creates low-frequency electrical pulses to stimulate nerves underlying the skin to block pain signals, known as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The pulses also initiate your body’s natural painkillers such as endorphins and cortisol to fight discomfort.
This product comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty against manufacturing defects; however, this doesn’t cover accessories like wire pad applicators. Furthermore, this offer only applies if purchased and operated in the USA and the manufacturer disclaims any other responsibility regarding this device.
