Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Kinetik Dual Channel TENS Digital Pain Reliever.
The Dual Channel TENS Digital Pain Reliever is effective in relieving pain.
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
TENS is recognised as a safe and highly effective method of relieving pain.
TENS is now regularly recommended by doctors, physiotherapists and pharmacists throughout
the UK. Before using, please read all the instructions in this user manual carefully and keep it
safe for future reference.
Why consider digital pain relief?
Pain is a warning signal; we need these signals to tell us that something may be wrong with our
body. Without it, we may not know that parts of our body might be damaged, thereby damaging
them further. However, once we have identified damage, pain serves little purpose. In the case
of chronic, regular pain it can significantly interfere with daily activities and the quality of life.
How does TENS work?
TENS works by passing harmless electrical signals into the body from its pads. This relieves pain
in two ways:
• Firstly, it blocks the body’s pain signals which are normally transmitted from the area of
damage through the nerve fibres to the brain - TENS interrupts these pain signals.
• Secondly, TENS stimulates the body’s production of endorphins – its own natural painkillers.
