How to Place the Multi-Stim TENS and EMS Electrode Pads on Your Body
When placing the electrode pads on your body, it is important to pinpoint exactly where the pain is. If you can identify the most accurate spot on your body. Once you know where the affected area is, you can determine the best way to place the electrode pads. There are three main ways that you can place electrodes: horizontally, vertically, and diagonally from each other. Horizontal & Diagonal – when the pain spreads over a large area. Such as your back or across your midsection, you can place pads above and below the affected area. When using 4 pads, placing them in an X with two above and two below may also offer significant pain relief. Vertical – when the pain is located across a small surface area, such as on the back of your arm or around the elbow, you can place the electrode pads parallel.
Increasing the Effectiveness of Your Multi-Stim Device
One of the most asked questions regarding pain management tips with a Multi-Stim TENS + EMS device is how electrode pad placement changes the effectiveness of the treatment. Pad placement has everything to do with the effectiveness of your TENS + EMS treatment!
