Contracture (eg: localized contracture in external side of the calf)

After tiring muscle work, intense training or a sporting competition, certain muscles or certain parts of muscles often remain
tense and slightly painful. These are known as muscular contractures which should disappear after a few days with rest, good
rehydration, a balanced food intake with mineral salts and application of the Decontracture programme. The phenomenon
of contracture frequently affects the calf muscles, but can also occur with other muscles. In this case, simply follow the same
practical recommendations as below, but place the electrodes on the muscular group concerned.
Cycle duration: 1 week, 1 x/day

Chronic muscular pain in the back of the neck (cervical pain)

Positions in which the muscles of the back of the neck remain tense for long periods of time, for example working in front
of a computer screen, may be responsible for the onset of pain in the back of the neck or on either side of the base of the
neck, in the upper back. These pains are due to a contracture of the muscles, of which the prolonged tension crushes the
blood vessels and prevents the blood from supplying and oxygenating the muscle fibres. If this phenomenon is prolonged,
there is an accumulation of acid and the blood vessels atrophy. The pain then becomes continuous or appears after only a
few minutes spent working in an unfavourable position. These chronic pains in the back of the neck can be treated effectively
with the Cervical pain programme, which reactivates the circulation, drains accumulations of acid, oxygenates the muscles,
develops the capillaries and relaxes the contractured muscles.
Cycle duration: 4 weeks, 2 x/day, with a 10 minute break between the 2 sessions
You are advised to consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after the first week of
use
