Digital Tens Unit and other Types of TENS Units

Combination TENS Unit This machine has a selection of three waveforms and is used for acute and chronic pain syndromes which have become accommodated to the continuous square wave form of the conventional TENS unit. Pain relief will usually last longer due to the regenerative effect the burst or modulated waveforms have on the endogenous opiate system.

Portable TENS Unit The portable TENS unit, low frequency stimulators are extremely simple to use, easy to manage, and very effective for arthritic-type pains. Due to the low frequencies of between 1-30 p.p.s. (pulses per second) they are best suited to the treatment of chronic pain.

Due to ease of use, and slow pulse rates (1-4 pulses per second) this machine is especially suitable for tinnitus, sinus, RSI, tennis elbow, neck, shoulder and joint pain. The readily available 9 volt battery lasts for approx 500 hours.

TENS Unit with needle acupuncture TENS unit, combined with needle acupuncture stimulation, has provided good results with analgesia, pain relief, healing and homeostasis. Most modern day acupuncture clinics use electrical needle stimulation. This is achieved by attaching alligator type clips to the needles and adjusting the frequency control to suit the condition to be treated. Because of the long history of acupuncture, there is a wealth of precise and readily available information in the form of clinical literature books and charts. Acupuncture today requires very little modification due to tried, tested and proven results which have been documented over thousands of years.

Dental TENS Unit A dental TENS unit can be used to produce electro-dental anesthesia and is a valuable adjunct or alternative to the administration of local anesthetic to patients suffering local anesthetic allergy. Increased levels of comfort post-operatively are due to the extra blood flow to the area being treated. The teeth do not have to recover from a loss of blood flow as with local anesthetic. Patients are in total control of the intensity of stimulation. The procedures are non-invasive, safe, and well accepted by dentists and patients alike. Evidence clearly indicates that the TENS unit can diminish the pain invoked by dental stimuli.
