Analgesia and pain desensitization make the manual therapy work easier with Hi-TENS by R-Shock

The new HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK device differs from all other tecartherapy devices because of its all-in-one electrode.

An electrode – 3 effects: defibrosing, analgesic, trophicity… as its electrode allows an all-in-1 effect: capacitive, resistive and even Hi-TENS (equivalent to electrostimulation). Therefore its targeted action can be multiple: localized, superficial, deep or purely analgesic. It is even possible to combine those actions !

This also a major aspect of the difference between HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK and previous equipments: it allows a more accurate management of analgesia effects. With HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK, you can decide to only have HI-TENS (low frequency) in order to target only an analgesic effect, without using Hi-RET energy (w/o generating heat). The HI-TENS + mode allows you to work the analgesia effect at three different levels (superficial, medium or deep).

More comfort for the therapist and the patient

This analgesic input is particularly useful in cases of acute pain, when it is almost impossible to touch the patient as pain is strong, because HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK lowers the pain threshold. Then, during treatment, this effect makes it possible to go faster, while offering more comfort to the patient, who has less pain. It is then possible to combine the HI-TENS + with your manual work, or to continue with HI-RET while benefiting from its thermal and biological effect.

The therapist can also decide to mix HI-RET energy and HI-TENS to obtain analgesia effect but also revascularization (pressure relief on the nociceptors). With HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK and its new features, a mode exists to alternate two seconds of HI-RET and two seconds of HI-TENS, for a more precise management of the analgesic effect. This makes HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK even more effective in reducing fibrosis (such as scars) or in dealing with joint fibrous problems (eg. tennis elbow), also thanks to its punctiform use technique.

An intelligent device

Another novelty that makes manual work easier: HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK adapts to always deliver the same amount of energy, calculated by the return electrode. This ensures significant efficiency regardless of distance or resistance, throughout the treatment. It allows the practitioner to optimize his session and allows him to perform a much shorter treatment. This constant energy facilitates the manual work of the therapist and also eliminates any risk of burns for the patient. Analgesia according to HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK is therefore rather to be considered as pain desensitization, allowing very comfortable work for the patient and the therapist.

Due to all thiese benefits, in a specialized cabinet with the HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK, it now represents 90% of the use during HI-RET treatments against 10% with the BACK1. On two physiotherapists, it represents 18 uses per day (between 5 and 10 minutes per treatment)! Its mobility is very appreciated, the treatment time is shorter and the therapists can easily share one HI-TENS BY R-SHOCK device, which occurs an optimal output.
