Home Electrotherapy Devices – TENS and EMS
Digital, battery operated electronic device, commonly used in physiotherapy practice, or at home. The TENS-EMS sends electrical impulses to the nerve endings at or near the site of pain, diminishing the pain and replacing it with a tingling or massage-like sensation.
TENS is used by patients with muscular pain, osteoarthritis, rheumathoid arthritis, sciatica, pain after surgery and other conditions. Family Physicians frequently recommend TENS-EMS as part of an overall pain-management program.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is used to prevent or reduce muscle atrophy, increasing blood flow to muscles, increasing range of motion, increasing muscle strength and enhancing muscle endurance.
These patient-friendly devices features a wide range of pulse amplitudes, frequencies and patterns and an easy to use timer, allowing it to be used either for pain relief (TENS) or muscle stimulation (EMS). When used as prescribed by the physiotherapist, the device will help promote a quick return to daily activities. The TENS-EMS is a convenient pain management tool with the flexibility in providing home therapy. It is drug free and reduces dependence on pain medication.
The TENS-EMS Units are compact, portable, and easy to use at home and in the office. They are “dual-channel” devices that offer a wider variety of treatment options, and stimulating multiple pain-sites at the same time.
There are different types that will better suit your needs:
At ProHealth, we will recommend you what type of TENS-EMS is appropriate to use for your condition. We will review your pain control goals, and teach you how to program and use it, including how to place the electrodes, set and control the type of current, and maintain the Unit.
