PainPod Heat: heated tens unit

PainPod Heat is an easy, flexible way to manage pain at home. It combines electrical stimulation from the Tens feature, a muscle stimulator from EMS with gentle heat, so you can relax tight muscles, soften stiff joints and ease daily discomfort without medication. You attach the heat pad to the area that hurts, choose your mode and let the device do the work.

The TENS setting helps interrupt pain messages while EMS supports muscle activity and recovery. The added heat improves circulation and comfort, especially if you deal with arthritis, stiff shoulders or lower back tightness that flares up during the day. Treatments are quick and you can adjust the intensity and warmth to what feels right for your body.

It alleviates chronic pain and pain associated with arthritis. Use the touch screen to choose your program, intensity level or heat strength.

Benefits of Tens Machine Painpod Heat

PainPod Heat is a powerful, drug-free and medical grade TENS unit that alleviates chronic, acute and arthritic pain through the combination of TENS technology and gentle heat. It also improves muscle strength and blood circulation.

The simple medical device can be applied to different areas of the body and helps reduce swelling, inflammation, throbbing and tenderness.

The PainPod heat combines three complimentary therapies to relieve pain on different parts of the body. It uses heat, TENS and EMS.

• The heat warms, relaxes the muscles and improves blood circulation.
• The Tens element sends electrical pulses through electrodes to interrupt pain signals, triggering the release of endorphins and stimulating the body’s natural pain reliever.
• The EMS is a muscle stimulator that feels like a massage.

Why should you use heat for pain relief?

Although TENS machines are known to help relieve pain, clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of Tens therapy and heat are more effective than TENS or heat alone. It relieves pain faster, as heat accelerates recovery and relaxes tensed muscles.

The PainPod Heat allows you to use TENS, EMS & Heat in isolation or combined. The PainPod heat lets you customise your treatment with pre-programmed electric pulses with a wide range of intensity levels.

The PainPod Heat uses electrodes that are compatible with the PainPod Heat. The electrodes connect seamlessly to the TENS unit.

The PainPod Heat features 8 pre-set therapy modes and 20 intensity settings for various pain conditions based on specific body areas.
