Acupuncture Simulator (Stimulator) is a convenient
stimulation technique to be utilized with the same acupuncture points and
the same number of treatments as with manual acupuncture. For busy
practitioners and those who do not normally provide prolonged manual needle
stimulation, even when it is normally called for according to Chinese
literature, acupuncture stimulation may improve the clinical situation. In
cases where intensive, high frequency, and prolonged treatments might be
deemed essential, as with certain stubborn neurological disorders,
acupuncture stimulation may be the only means to provide effective daily
treatments. Practitioners should consult literature accompanying the device
they purchase regarding contraindications for electro-acupuncture and
recommendations for using different pulse forms and frequencies, but should
also be aware that there may be very limited basis for some of the
statements that are made.

TENS Unit Questions &
Answers
What are TENS
units?
TENS units (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation) are a highly effective form of pain relief using electrical
pulses.
How does a TENS
unit work?
TENS unit pads are placed on or near the pain
area. Soothing pulses are sent via the tens unit pads through the skin and
along the nerve fibers. The pulses suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS
also encourages the body to produce natural pain killing chemicals called
Endorphins and Encephalins.
How long does TENS unit pain relief last?
Some benefit from their TENS unit for days
after a short treatment, whilst others need to use their unit for longer
periods.
Will the treatment hurt?
No, the sensation felt is very pleasant and soothing and is totally controlled
by you.
How long before I feel benefit from my TENS unit?
Some people's pain is relieved immediately whilst others need a little longer.
You should also take into account that it may take a while to find the best
position for the electrodes.
Are TENS units safe to use with other medication?
Yes, and you may be able to stop taking pain killing drugs or at least reduce
your intake.
How does the TENS unit work?
When exercising your muscles receive small signals via nerve endings to initiate
their contraction. Once a muscle has contracted and the nerve is no longer
sending a signal, the muscle will relax.
