NMES produces a clean and complete muscle contraction. It is an effective treatment to slow or prevent muscle atrophy, re-educate paralyzed muscles, relax muscle spasms, and facilitate recovery. It can also be applied to the calf post-operatively to prevent DVTs. A NMES electrical current is stronger with a greater pulse width, to produce muscle contractions. 

• Creates a clean and complete muscle contraction
• Re-educates muscle
• Slows and prevents muscle atrophy
• Facilitates recovery
• Relaxes muscle spasms
• Increases local blood circulations
• Maintains or increases range of motion
• Can prevent venous thrombosis when used post-operatively to stimulate the calf muscles

Comparatively, TENS provides temporary pain relief. By stimulating the sensory nerves, TENS blocks pain signals and triggers endorphin production. It is a great choice for those looking to reduce their pain medication use. TENS transmits at a frequency that is below muscle contraction. 

• Blocks pain signals
• Triggers endorphin production
