What type of pain is TENS best for?
This therapy works best on acute pain because it is
localized. Acute pain occurs in one area for less than three
(3) months. If you have chronic pain, you may have pain
in more than one area and for longer than six (6) months.
Chronic pain may be compounded by other issues that this
device cannot address.
Remember this device does not cure your pain or the original
cause of the pain. It provides temporary relief or reduction
of pain so that you can control your life and activities better.

Do not use detergents, chemicals or soap).
3. Dry the pads and let the adhesive surface air-dry
completely (do not wipe with a tissue paper or cloth).

skin condition, and storage state.
• If the pads no longer sticks to your skin or the pads are broken,
you should replace them with new pads.
• Before applying the self-adhesive electrodes, it is
recommended to wash and degrease the skin, and dry it.
• Do not turn on the device when the electrodes are not
positioned on the body.
• Never remove the self-adhesive electrodes from the skin while
the device is still turned on.
• If replacement electrodes are necessary, use only electrodes that
are the same size as the electrodes provided with the device.
• Use of electrodes that are larger may reduce the effect of
the stimulation. Use of electrodes that are much smaller than the
electrodes provided with the device may increase the chance of
skin irritation or electrode burns occurring under the electrodes.
