TENS pain relief
How does TENS work?
Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses (controlled by the user at all times) suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.
What is the history of TENS?
Stone carvings from the Egyptian Fith Dynasty in 2500BC depict an electric fish being used to treat pain. Present day TENS began after the landmark paper by Melzack and Wall 1965, - "Pain Mechanism: A New Theory." An enormous amount of scientific research followed, resulting in the therapy used today.
Will TENS work for me?
TENS is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A TENS unit will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of drug intake! For many the relief is dramatic.
Numerous painful medical conditions can be eased with our products including:-
- Rheumatoid and Osteo-arthritis

We are always delighted when someone telephones to tell us that they are pain free for the first time in years ... and it does happen. TENS is a treatment well worth trying. It does not always offer a cure but what it does do is relieve pain.
Remember - pain is the body's means of warning that something is amiss. Before using any Body Clock TENS unit, you should establish the source and cause of your pain.
Contraindications: Body Clock TENS units must not be used by patients using a demand type pacemaker. Electrode pads should NOT be placed at the front or side of the neck. Units should NOT be used when driving or operating machinery.
Precautions: Pregnant women and patients who have heart disease or epilepsy should seek medical advice before using Body Clock TENS. NEVER use Body Clock TENS or any other method of pain relief to mask undiagnosed pain as this could require urgent treatment.

Is a Body Clock TENS machine easy to use?

How long before I feel benefit from my Body Clock TENS unit?
Some people's pain is relieved immediately whilst others need a little longer. You should also take into account that it may take a while to find the best position for the electrodes.
For how long does the pain relief last?
Some benefit for days after only a half hour treatment, whilst others need to keep their Body Clock TENS unit on for longer periods.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) used for medical or cosmetic purposes?
Both. Body Clock EMS units are fully compliant with strict medical device regulations so that our units can be used for medical purposes. However, they are also excellent for cosmetic toning and are regularly used on the abs, legs and thighs, arms and other areas of the body.
What is the difference between Body Clock EMS units and those advertised in the media?
Technologically, there is much similarity. However, Body Clock machines are manufactured to be fully compliant with strict medical device regulations, ensuring high quality.
How does Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) work?
EMS works by stimulating muscles by means of tiny electric impulses. These impulses travel to the body from the EMS unit via electrode pads which are attached to the body. Timers on the EMS machine rhythmically contract and relax the muscles, allowing you to tone or work muscles.
What medical conditions are usually treated with EMS?
Body Clock EMS units are used to treat a number of medical conditions that require muscle stimulation. The most common are:
- Long-term disuse after fracture or prolonged bed rest.
- Progressive strengthening for joint or muscle injury
- Immobilised limbs
- Atrophy Prevention
- Bell's Palsy
- Stress Incontinence
- Muscle weakness
- Improving muscle tone after weight loss or childbirth
- Muscle spasticity following a stroke
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is highly effective for both cosmetic toning and medical usage. Our EMS units are used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, doctors and other medical practitioners. However, for best results EMS should be accompanied with a sensible exercise program so that muscles are correctly worked.
Are Body Clock EMS units safe to use with other medication?
Yes. They are often used in conjunction with physiotherapy or medical or cosmetic toning.
Is a Body Clock EMS machine easy to use?
Yes. They are extremely easy to use. Step by step instructions are provided with every machine and if any further advice is needed customers can email
for after sales care.Stimplus Electro-acupuncture
How does the Body Clock Stimplus work?
The Stimplus is the latest in electro-acupuncture. This amazing device applies the same principle as the age old Chinese therapy of acupuncture, without piercing the skin. The Stimplus finds acupoints, and then stimulates away the pain electronically at the touch of a button, without needles. Acupoints are detected with sound and light. 6 LED indicators on the top of the unit light up, one by one. The Stimplus also emits a low pitch sound which rises the closer you are to an acupoint.
Will it work for me?
The Body Clock Stimplus is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by acupuncturists, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A Body Clock Stimplus will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of drug intake! For many the relief is dramatic. It can help relieve pain for many conditions, though some may be better suited to our TENS units
Conditions that the Stimplus is particularly useful for include:
- Headaches including Migraine, Cluster, Tension and other types of headaches.
- Neck pain
- Toothache
- Stress
- All other conditions that are traditionally treated with acupuncture.
What makes the Body Clock Stimplus better than the rest?
The Body Clock Stimplus is known for its ease of use, reliability and competitive price. Body Clock is a well established company, with an excellent reputation. Our friendly team of staff is always ready to answer any question you may have before or after purchasing a Body Clock Stimplus. This personal service offers complete pre and after sales care which is unrivalled.

for after sales care.Is it safe to use with other medication?
Yes, and you may be able to stop taking pain killing drugs or at least reduce your intake.
