Omron Low Frequency Therapy Device
Omron’s device reportedly blocks pain signals, triggers endorphin release and offers massage effects – helping prevent atrophy of paralyzed muscles.
Its ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the hand for easy operation, while simple switches offer power, mode and intensity selections.
Easy to use
Omron low frequency therapy device is easy to use and designed with comfort in mind, featuring low frequency electrical pulses to relax muscles, increase circulation and relieve pain. Lightweight and portable for travel purposes, its multiple modes allow use on different body areas while an automatic turn off feature prevents accidental overuse of device.
This device is easily controlled using its large LCD display and user-friendly button interface, with 15 levels of stimulation intensity that range from gentle to strong allowing a comfortable experience even for beginners. Furthermore, its built-in auto power off function automatically switches off after 15 minutes of treatment to help save energy by not forgetting to turn it off at the end.
TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is an non-drug method to alleviate muscle and joint pain. This technology works by sending small electrical impulses through your skin directly to nerve endings in your body – creating something known as the Pain Gate that stops pain signals reaching the brain. TENS has been clinically tested as an effective pain relief method that is recommended by many healthcare professionals.
OMRON Healthcare’s research and development team is constantly working on ways to make their products better and more useful, like their new thermometer, designed to speed up measurement times. Now measuring in just 10 seconds and connected via smartphone for transmitting data.
OMRON Healthcare pursues not only patent applications but also protects its product designs with design patents and trademarks, filing such applications as soon as a product is released to ensure maximum protection of sales and brand image, which are key elements in its success.
Before using any device, it is crucial that the instructions are read thoroughly and followed properly. Always wash pads after each use and it is important not to bend them strongly as this could cause accidents and injuries. Furthermore, you should store it away from water sources, high temperatures, humidity or with items that have soiled them if possible.
Suitable for all ages
If the pads become dirty or lose adhesion, rinse them under cold water (without soap) and shake off excess moisture before placing them back into their clear plastic cover sheet or plastic holder (ePlus LongLife Pads only) in the refrigerator overnight (not freezer) to restore their adhesive strength. If they become worn-out or damaged you should consider purchasing new pads as replacement options may be necessary.
TENS therapy relieves pain in two ways: blocking pain signals at the spinal cord and activating endorphins – natural pain-killers released by our bodies as natural response – to trigger their release. TENS also increases blood circulation and relaxes muscles; for home use OMRON HeatTens provides easy drug-free pain relief along with muscle and joint stimulation stimulation for home use.
While most devices are solely focused on NMES therapy, some models offer both treatments in one scheduled session. One such example is the Compex Wireless’ Muscle Stimulator Kit that costs $600 and operates on rechargeable battery power; its nine pre-programmed sessions deliver low frequency 95 Hz NMES signal while other models such as Omron Max Power Relief and Ultima 5 offer five to nine pre-set sessions to treat specific areas or modes such as constant and burst.
Effective for pain relief
The OMRON HeatTens pain reliever provides soothing heat therapy and TENS technology as complementary therapies to reduce and alleviate muscles and joint pain, stiffness, stiffness and numbness in back, arms, legs, shoulders and feet. TENS blocks pain messages while warming blood circulation relaxes muscles; warm temperatures also promote blood flow to relax muscles more fully while blocking pain messages triggers endorphin release for improved pain relief.
There are a variety of TENS devices on the market, such as the OMRON Max Power Relief which retails for $70 and operates on two AAA batteries, or BioWaveGO which retails for $299 with nine pre-programmed NMES sessions and delivers low frequency signal of 73Hz. If using one, ensure the electrode pads are clean and dry prior to placing on body; any dirt can lead to discomfort or an electric shock and should never be stored with dirty items, as this will reduce adhesion on adhesive surface leading to injuries or accidents.
Muscle stimulation may help restore normal muscle function and prevent atrophy caused by paralysis. Signals penetrate the skin to reach nerves within muscles, prompting shortening and contraction cycles that push out metabolic waste while providing fresh nutrients into cells. Furthermore, such signals may stimulate production of natural opiates in the brain that provide pain relief.
iTENS and the Omron electronic nerve stimulator are two effective forms of pain management, making them great choices for many conditions. Both use low-voltage electrical currents to block pain messages from reaching the brain; both come equipped with adjustable settings and automatic therapy modes; both can even sync up with smartphones apps for added portability.
The iTENS device is readily available in Australia and comes equipped with various programs and modes designed to treat chronic and acute pain, as well as discomforts in hands/feet, back, neck, abdomen, hips, knees and ankles. Furthermore, its portability allows it to be used anytime anywhere.
Portable
Human bodies are extremely responsive to external electrical stimulation provided by this form of therapy, and muscles contract and relax by the weak electric current running through electrodes. As such, an Omron low frequency therapy device serves as an effective pain reliever that does not rely on drugs for relief; making it a safe and drug-free alternative solution.
The sleek design enables easy operation with one hand thanks to the rounded body that fits comfortably in your palm, featuring three simple switches for power, mode selection and intensity selection. Therapy modes can be clearly displayed on its large LCD screen for simple navigation even for first-time users.
The TENS device features modes to target stiffness and pain in specific body areas such as shoulders, lower back, arms, joints (elbows and knees) and calves. With 15-step intensity controls ranging from gentle stimulation to strong stimulation for treatments; additionally an auto power off function automatically shuts the device off after 15 minutes to prevent forgetting to turn it off manually.
