Helping you to help yourself .
Electrical stimulation in one form or another has long been used as a treatment for a huge range of conditions. Nowadays electrical stimulation has two main applications.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is used for pain relief. It helps in arthritis, backache, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, shingles/post herpetic neuralgia and relieves labour pains during contractions.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is used to strengthen and tone muscles. EMS is used to speed rehabilitation after a Stroke, operations such as knee replacement and in chronic conditions such as arthritis and to help improve walking after a Stroke or multiple sclerosis. In the UK electrical stimulation used in rehabilitation is known as Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
FES is widely recognised and used for recovering after sports injuries, losing weight and building strength. Using our machines your muscles are exercised 200 times a minute and you feel great.
All our stimulators are available without prescription and we ship worldwide. You can buy all out items and pay in GBP £ or USD $.
Free postage is included with everything on our site. The price you see is the price you pay.
Electrical stimulation gently works your muscles and moves your arm or leg in a fashion similar to physiotherapy or physical therapy. It is proven to aid recovery after a Stroke. You can use electrical stimulation at home safely with our easy to use machines. The pictures below show the effect on hand movement
Electrical stimulation uses small currents to stimulate nerve and muscle. Stimulating the forearm muscles produces movement in the hand and fingers as shown here. On the left the hand is not stimulated, on the right the hand is opening with the stimulator on and a small current flowing.
The various forms of electrical stimulation are recognised and accepted treatments in the UK. They are widely used in Europe and the USA and there is a lot of evidence of benefit in a wide variety of conditions.
You can expect our machines to perform excellently and be of the highest possible standard. They are manufactured in compliance with the Medical Device Directive (MDD93/42/EEC), are CE marked and manufactured to the highest ISO standards. They all come with a 1 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. You can use them quickly, safely & easily at home, at your own pace and then get on with enjoying your life.
Our machines come with straightforward instructions for use. They have clear concise treatment guides with details of correct settings. You can give us a call and get help when using our machines. Our TENS and FES guides have diagrams with suggested electrode placements. Our Lasers have detailed treatment plans and clear diagrams showing stimulation points.
FES works in the same way as physiotherapy to increase movement and strength. Using stimulators at home as an addition to other physiotherapy exercises enables you to control to a greater extent your rehabilitation treat, in safety and at your own pace. By strengthening and re-educating muscles you maximise your rehabilitation and recovery.
FES can be used on the arm from shoulder to hand and the leg muscles from hip to ankle and also on the back to build up overall strength. FES is an addition to physiotherapy not an alternative and can be used for months and years to improve and maintain your recovery.
The Royal College of Physicians National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke (2000) www.rcplondon.ac.uk includes in the Rehabilitation section a recommendation on the use of FES to aid recovery after a Stroke.
FES is used to treat a wide range of illness‘s and as an aid to rehabilitation and recovery.
| STROKE | Reduce stiffness/spasticity Relaxation of muscle spasms Muscle strengthening Muscle re-education Improve gait/walking Decrease shoulder pain Maintain or increase range of motion Increase local blood flow |
| MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS | Improve gait/walking Muscle strengthening |
| JOINT REPLACEMENT | Build up leg strength, speed rehabilitation |
| ARTHRITIS | Strengthen muscle Decrease pain |
| INCONTINENCE | Strengthen and tone all muscle groups |
These are just some of the indications.
We all want to be active and enjoy life no matter what our age. Pain, caused by a wide variety of conditions can limit daily activities. Drugs can help control the pain but most have side effects that can be unpleasant. A safe, drug free solution to pain is available using electrical stimulation.
Microcurrent therapy uses very small currents to help kick start your bodies healing processes. You often can’t feel the current it is so small but the effect is far larger!
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) uses small currents to stimulate nerves in order to achieve pain relief. It also encourages the body to release natural painkillers called endorphins
TENS is used to treat a wide range of painful conditions. Here are just a few:
- Osteoarthritis
- Labour pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Low back pain – strains, prolapsed disc, spondylosis
- Neck pain, cervical spondylitis
- Referred pain e.g. sciatica
- Shingles (neuralgia)
- Numerous other pain conditions
