BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION

Electrostimulation is a very effective way to make your muscles work:

• With significant improvement of different muscular qualities

• Without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue

• With limited stress on the joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a greater

quantity of work by the muscles compared with voluntary activity.

To be effective, this work must involve the greatest possible number of muscular fibers.

The number of fibers working depends on the stimulation energy. The maximum tolerable

energy should therefore be used. The user controls this aspect of stimulation. The higher the

stimulation energy, the greater the number of muscular fibers that are working and, therefore,

the more significant the progress achieved. To maximize results, DJO, LLC recommends that

you complement your electrostimulation sessions with other efforts, such as:

• Regular exercise

• Proper and healthy nutrition

TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION (TENS)

Pain, whether chronic (long-term) or acute (short-term), can be relieved through a variety of

methods, including drugs, topical ointments, surgery, and electrical stimulation. TENS devices

deliver electrical pulses through the skin to the cutaneous (surface) and afferent (deep) nerves to

control pain. Unlike drugs and topical ointments, TENS does not have any systemic side effects.

HOW DOES TENS CONTROL PAIN

TENS provides pain relief in two ways. One is the gate control mechanism. When the body is

injured, both pain and non-pain impulses are sent to the brain from the nervous system. These

pulses travel through nerves in your skin to deeper nerves, and then to the spinal cord and brain.

Along the path are many areas referred to as “gates”. These gates determine which impulses are

allowed to continue to the brain. The gates prevent the brain from receiving too much information

too quickly.

Since the same nerve cannot carry a pain and a non-pain impulse at the same time, the stronger,

non-pain impulse from the TENS device “controls the gate”.

The other mechanism of pain control is endorphin release. The TENS device can trigger the

body’s natural pain killers, called endorphins. These chemicals interact with receptors, blocking

the perception of pain. This is similar to the way the pharmaceutical drug, morphine works, but

without morphine’s side effects.
