By placing adhesive electrode pads on your body, pulses are transmitted across the skin to reduce pain sensation. These units are a tried and tested way of treating pain. They deliver Drug Free Pain Relief. Pain relief is often dramatic and drug intake can be reduced or avoided altogether. TENS units have been used for many years to treat various painful conditions, and they are recommended by doctors, physiotherapists, midwives and pain clinics world-wide.
HOW DOES A TENS UNIT WORK? Elle TENS used to treat labour pain - At the onset of your contractions simply apply the 4 pads to your back (accompanying diagram is supplied with ‘A Women’s guide to Drug Free Pain Relief’) and switch the Elle TENS unit on. The soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin along the nerve fibres. These pulses block the pain signals being sent to your brain, and encourage your own body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals “Endorphins”. When experiencing another contraction, simply press the boost button for an extra surge of power needed to combat the pain. When a contraction passes, press the boost button again to restart the cycle. One of the most wonderful advantages of using the Elle TENS unit during labour is You Control It, and the unique design of the Elle TENS enables you to move around freely while utilising the unit to help relieve your labour pain. TENS delivers pain relief by utilising (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). TENS will encourage your body to produce its own pain killing chemicals, which will lead to decrease of pain medication. TENS is a safe, non invasive treatment method which is so easy to use.
Elle TENS benefits from Opti-max technology – Opti-max gives an extra reserve of power when you really need it. Most women tend to take advantage of the Opti-max during the final stages of labour. Elle TENS is especially designed for childbirth (do not use before 37 weeks of pregnancy). It utilises larger pads and includes a boost button, which is used for contractions.
