Pain Management - Post injury / post trauma/ post Surgery Rehabilitation
Motion is key
After a major surgery or a traumatic injury, it is imperative to get your muscles working in order to speed recovery. The Tennant Biomodulator® will benefit you two-fold in your recovery. First there is pain control and the other is muscle stimulation.
Speeds recovery
Tennant Biomodulator® therapy can start prior to surgery on the area of concern. Many clients gain their prescription for the Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS and begin using the device anywhere from the day after surgery or injury to a couple of weeks later depending on how they feel. A Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS device can help you regain your function so you can resume normal daily activities faster.
Rehabilitation enhancement
As an alternative non-invasive therapy / pain reduction, it facilitates post-operative rehabilitation and may allow you to reduce pain medications.
Common uses for the Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS
Symptomatic relief and management of:
Intractable pain
Post surgical pain
Post trauma pain
Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS therapy
A clinically proven method to reduce pain using electrical stimulus.
A non-invasive therapy indicated for the symptomatic relief from, and management of, chronic intractable pain and post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain.
The medical community has used TENS / Electro-Stim therapy as a safe and effective alternative to pharmacological approaches to pain control for over 30 years. (Minimal side effects and is non-addictive) Adverse reactions associated with electrotherapy may include skin irritation beneath the electrodes. (Skin sensitive, blue gel, conductive electrodes are available for purchase for those who have skin sensitivities.)
Integrating Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS therapy into pain management - advantages
Puts patients in control of their own pain control
Patient remains alert, functional and productive
Therapy is easy to administer
No known side effects, no risk of overdosing, and no drug interference
Enhances Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy services2
Reduces the need for pain medication2-4 and its common side effects2
Decreases pain, increases activity, and promotes return to work1
Mechanism of the Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS
Pain messages transmitted by the peripheral nervous system to the brain are electro-chemical in nature. Controlling or overriding these impulses can bring about significant pain relief to patients.
With the Tennant Biomodulator®, a current is administered through the on-board treatment electrode or an external electrode placed in specific locations on the patient's skin. The low voltage current causes an electrical reaction in sensory and motor nerve fibers, overriding pain message transmission. The frequency and intensity of the stimulus are carefully controlled.
Clinical Application
Tennant Biomodulator® PLUS is useful for:
A low risk, first line treatment option
Patients whose pain therapy is limited by medication side effects
Pain treatment and management for general and specialty medical practices
