Electrode Placement and Charts
The importance of accurate electrode placement
Proper electrode placement is vital to obtain the best results from your TENS unit. Please see the following charts which have been specially prepared to help you.
The most important aspect of TENS electrode placement is to position them so that the current passes through the painful area, or along the nerves leading from the pain.
How to use the electrode placement charts
Check the index on the opposite page for the chart most applicable to the pain problem. We have selected the easiest and most frequently used electrode placement positions and settings. Note: These are suggested settings. There are alternative settings and all settings should be instructed by a medical practitioner.
