1. Getting to know your device

1.1 What is Digital TENS/EMS and what can it do?

Digital TENS/EMS belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. It 

has three basic functions, which can be used in combination:

1. Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS).

2. Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS).

3. A massage effect generated by electrical signals.
For this, the device has four independent stimulation channels and eight self-

adhesive electrodes. It has various versatile functions in order to increase ge-

neral wellbeing, alleviate pain, maintain physical fitness, relaxation, revitalise 

muscles and combat fatigue. You can either select these functions from pre-

set programmes or determine them yourself according to your requirements.

The operating principle of electrical stimulation equipment is based on 

simulating the body’s own pulses which are transmitted transcutaneously to 

nerve or muscle fibres by means of electrodes. The electrodes can thereby 

be attached to many parts of the body, whereby the electrical stimuli are 

safe and practically painless. You merely feel a gentle prickling or vibrating in 

some applications. The electrical pulses transmitted to the tissue affect the 

transmission of stimulation in nerve conductions as well as neural nodes and 

muscle groups in the field of application.

The effect of electrical stimulation is generally only recognisable after regularly 

repeated application. Electrical stimulation does not replace regular exercising 

of the muscle, but is able to reasonably supplement the effect thereof.

TENS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

, means electrical stimu-

lation of nerves through the skin. TENS is recognised as a clinically proven, 

effective, non-medication method of treating pain from certain causes. It is 

free from side-effects when used properly, and can also thereby be used as 

a simple meeans of self-treatment. The pain-alleviating or suppressing effect 

is also achieved by preventing pain from being passed on into nerve fibres 

(above all through high-frequency pulses) and increasing the secretion of the 

body’s own endorphines which reduce awareness of pain through their effect 

on the central nervous system. The method is scientifically underpinned and 

medically approved.

Any symptoms indicating TENS application must be clarified with the doctor 

in charge of your treatment. The latter will also give you information on the 

respective benefits of TENS self-treatment.

TENS is clinically tested and approved with the following applications:

• Back pain, particularly also lumbar and cervical spine problems.

• Joint pain (e.g. knee joint, hip joint, shoulder).

• Neuralgia.

• Headaches.

• Women’s period pains.

• Pain after injuries to musculoskeletal system.

• Pain with circulatory problems.

• Chronic pain through various causes.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)

 is a widespread and generally recog-

nised method and has been used for years in sports and rehabilitation medi-
