HOW THE DEVICE WORKS
How does the device work?
The OMRON Total Power + Heat is an innovative device that relieves chronic, acute
*
and arthritic
pain through the pain relief of TENS and soothing comfort of heat. Physical therapists have been
using the combination of heat and TENS for decades.
Scientic theory suggests that TENS therapy may work in several ways:
1. Gentle electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the pain
message from ever reaching the brain from the source of the pain.
2.
Gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body’s natural pain killers, such as
endorphins.
3.
Blood circulation improves as muscles contract and relax with the ow of the electrical stimulation.
* Acute pain refers to sore or achy muscles due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.

4. HOW TO CONTROL AND REDUCE YOUR PAIN
When should I start therapy?
Use this device as soon as your pain begins. Start with one session, the device automatically turns o
at 30 minutes.
Get to your pain early
If you get to your pain early, it may prevent the pain from becoming worse or even chronic. It’s
better for you to get it under control sooner so that it does not reach a high pain threshold where it

Omron PM800 Questions and Answers


#1 Why does the screen flash PAD in the right top and does nothing else?

1. Could be only 1 pad is attached or both pads not attached.
2. Have you removed film from the gel?
3. Is cord probably connected.
4. Is adhesive surface of gels dirty or dry?

#2 How often can I use my Omron TENS unit?

You can begin with one 15-minute therapy session. Repeat for another 15 minutes if needed. Use up to three times per day at a maximum. During each therapy, rate your pain before and after the session, 1 (low) to 10 (high) in order to gauge the true reduction of pain.

#3 What is Electrotherapy or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)?

Electrotherapy, also known as TENS, is a drug-free, non-invasive therapy designed to reduce and relieve numbness in the arms, legs and foot by applying electrical nerve stimulation to the surface of the skin near the site of the pain.

#4 How does Electrotherapy or TENS work?

Scientific theory suggests TENS can work in several ways, including: the pulses can block the pain message from reaching the brain, the stimulation triggers the body to produce more endorphins (a natural pain killer) or the therapy improves blood circulation.
