provides 2-in-1 relief, pain relief of TENS and comfort of
HEAT. It is designed to reduce and relieve muscle and joint pain,
stiffness and numbness in the back, arms, legs, shoulder and foot.
The Heat Pain Pro
TM
uses the PAD with GEL for the delivery of
TENS therapy to the surface of the skin for pain relief.
Any of the modes can safely be used on body parts or pains

Guide.
The Heat Pain Pro
TM
can be successfully used in
conjunction with any other pain treatment or medication.
This type of therapy, called Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation (TENS), has been used for over 30 years by medical
professionals such as physical therapists and chiropractors.
How does TENS and HEAT work?
Physical therapists have been using the combination of heat and TENS
for decades. The HEAT warms the muscle for soothing comfort, and
TENS provides pain relief.
TENS therapy suggests that electrical stimulation therapy may
work in several ways:
1. The 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. The gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the
body’s natural pain killer, such as endorphins.
3. Furthermore, it is thought that the electrical stimulation
improves blood circulation as well. Muscles contract and relax
