During the treatment, it's common to experience mild muscle twitches or a tingling sensation in the skin under the pads. These twitches are a natural response to the electrical stimulation and indicate that the muscles are responding to the treatment.
Two methods of pain relief to choose from
One method of pain relief is to block pain signals to the brain through high-frequency stimulation. This means that electrical impulses are sent rapidly, effectively reducing the sensation of pain and discomfort.
The second method involves enhancing the body's own pain relief system. This is typically achieved through low-frequency stimulation, where electrical impulses are sent at a slower pace. Through this method, more endorphins are released in the body. Endorphins are natural hormones that the body produces to alleviate pain and promote a sense of well-being.
