Digital EMS/TENS 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.

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 is 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.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generally recognised method and has been used for years in sports and rehabilitation medicine. In the sports and fitness field, one of the uses of EMS is as a supplement to conventional muscle training, in order to improve the performance of muscle groups.

EMS application goes in two directions. On the one hand, a targeted strengthening of musculature can be produced (activating application) and on the other hand a relaxing, resting effect can also be achieved (relaxing application).

Active application includes the following:

• Muscle training to improve endurance performance and/or
• Muscle training to support the strengthening of specific muscles
• Muscle groups to achieve desired changes in body proportions.

Relaxing application includes the following:

• Muscle relaxation in order to loosen up muscular tension
• Improving muscular fatigue symptoms
• Accelerating muscle regeneration after high muscular performance (e.g. after a marathon).

TENS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, means electrical stimulation of nerves through the skin. TENS is approved as a clinically proven, effective, non-medication method of treating pain from certain causes. It is free of side-effects when used properly, and can also thereby be used as a simple means 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 endorphins 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

The massage function helps you relax. The programmes are designed to imitate a "real" massage, such as tap and grasp massage, knead and grasp massage, side of hand and pressure massage or vibratory massage.

Doctor’s Function is a specific setting to allow you to call up your specific personal programme even more easily. Your individual programme setting is saved when the monitor is switched off and is immediately retrieved in wait status when you switch on. It is activated by simply pressing the ON/OFF key.

Settings for this individual programme may, for example, be on the advice of your doctor.

Insect bites inject poisons into the skin. These poisons, primarily protein molecules, can cause pain,  itching and inflammation.  Relief has been possible until now by cooling or by using special ointments.

The insect bite healer provides fast and effective relief after insect bites. Protein molecules are destroyed at temperatures above 50 °C. The gold heating plates of the insect bite healer heats the area of the insect bite above 50 °C. This makes poisons harmless.
