Pain relief on lower back with the EM 38 stimulation current unit

How does stimulation current work?

The back belt works on the basis of electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

The more precise term is transcutaneous (meaning “through the skin“) electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). TENS

is approved as a clinically proven, eective, medication-free method of treating certain types of pain which,

when used properly, is also free of side eects. It is also approved as a means of simple self-treatment.

The pain-relieving or pain-suppressing eect is caused by suppressing the transmission of pain in the nerve

fibres (particularly through high-frequency impulses) and increasing the release of the body‘s own endorphins,

which decrease the sensation of pain by their eect in the central nervous system. This method is clinically

tested and approved.

Every condition that calls for the use of TENS must be clarified by your attending physician. He or she will also

give you information about the specific benefits of a TENS self-treatment.
