TENS pain relief

How does TENS work?
Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses (controlled by the user at all times) suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.


Will TENS work for me?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A Body Clock TENS unit will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of drug intake! Numerous painful conditions can be relieved including:-

• Rheumatoid and Osteo-arthritis
• Back pain
• Menstrual Pain
• Labour Pain
• Peripheral Nerve Injuries
• Shingles
• Headache and Migraine
• Cancer Pain
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Phantom Limb Pain
• Sports Injuries
• Sciatica
• Aching Joints
• Post Operative Pain
• Muscular Pain
• Whiplash and Neck Injury and many others.

Remember: pain is the body's method of warning you that something is wrong so before using your unit, you should establish the cause of pain.

Contraindications: TENS must not be used by patients using a demand type pacemaker. Electrode pads should NOT be placed at the front or side of the neck. Units should NOT be used when driving or operating machinery.

Precautions: Pregnant women and patients who have heart disease or epilepsy should seek medical advice before using a Body Clock TENS. Never use TENS or any other method of pain relief to mask undiagnosed pain as this could require urgent treatment.


What is the history of TENS?
Stone carvings from the Egyptian Fith Dynasty in 2500 BC depict an electric fish being used to treat pain. Present day TENS began after the landmark paper by Melzack and Wall 1965, entitled “Pain Mechanism: A New Theory.” An enormous amount of scientific research followed, resulting in the therapy used today.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) used for medical or cosmetic purposes?
Both. Body Clock EMS units are fully compliant with strict medical device regulations so that our units can be used for medical purposes. However, they are also excellent for cosmetic toning and are regularly used on the abs, legs and thighs, arms and other areas of the body.


What is the difference between Body Clock EMS units and those advertised in the media?
Technologically, there is much simmilarity. However, Body Clock machines are manufactured to be fully compliant with strict medical device regulations, ensuring high quality.


How does Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) work?
EMS works by stimulating muscles by means of tiny electric impulses. These impulses travel to the body from the EMS unit via electrode pads which are attached to the body. Timers on the EMS machine rhythmically contract and relax the muscles, allowing you to work or tone muscles.


What medical conditions are usually treated with EMS?
Body Clock EMS units are used to treat a number of medical conditions. The most common are:

• Long-term disuse after fracture or prolonged bed rest
• Progressive strengthening for joint or muscle injury
• Immobilised limbs
• Atrophy Prevention
• Bell's Palsy
• Stress Incontinence
• Muscle weakness
• Improving muscle tone after weight loss or childbirth
• Muscle spasticity following a stroke

Will EMS work for me?
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is highly effective for both cosmetic toning and medical usage. Our EMS units are used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, doctors and other medical practitioners. However, for best results EMS should be accompanied with a sensible exercise program.


Are Body Clock EMS units safe to use with other medication?
Yes. They are often used in conjunction with physiotherapy or by themselves for medical or cosmetic toning.


Is a Body Clock EMS machine easy to use?
Yes. They are extremely easy to use. Step by step instructions are provided with every machine and if any further advice is needed customers can email for after sales care.


Stimplus Electro-acupuncture

How does the Body Clock Stimplus work?
The Stimplus is the latest in electro-acupuncture. This amazing device applies the same principle as the age old Chinese therapy of acupuncture, without piercing the skin. The Stimplus finds acupoints, and then stimulates away the pain electronically at the touch of a button, without needles. Acupoints are detected with sound and light. 6 LED indicators on the top of the unit light up, one by one. The Stimplus also emits a low pitch sound which rises the closer you are to an acupoint.


Will it work for me?
The Body Clock Stimplus is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by acupuncturists, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A Body Clock Stimplus will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of drug intake! For many the relief is dramatic. It can help relieve pain for many conditions, though some may be better suited to our TENS units.

Conditions that the Stimplus is particularly useful for include:

• Headaches including Migraine, Cluster, Tension and other types of headaches.

• Stress
• All other conditions that are traditionally treated with acupuncture.
