Are you suffering from chronic pain or pain from surgery or an injury?
There is an alternative to opiates!
I'm Carolyn Peretti, a physical therapist. Many of you may have experienced the same tragedy, as my family, with the loss of a loved one from opiates or perhaps you know someone who is struggling with pain or addiction. I want to introduce you to an alternative to pain medication, the TNS machine.
The first TNS machine was patented in 1974. It was invented for the control of pain, has proven results and will change your life for the better.
Together with Dr. Khasigian, a highly respected orthopedic surgeon in Sacramento, California, we have placed the TNS on patients in the operating room. These patients required less pain medication during their rehabilitation.
You can purchase a TNS machine online. Prices range from $20-$100. You do not need a prescription from your doctor. However, you cannot use the machine if you have a pacemaker or are pregnant. Do not wear it in the water.
There is no limit to how long you can wear the TNS machine. If you need to, you may wear it 24 hours a day for months at a time.
The set-up dials vary depending upon the manufacturer.
I prefer a slow pulse rate, a low pulse width and a modulated mode. Any variations work. It is simply a personal preference. Some machines specify body parts.
The most important setting is the timer. It must be set on C which means the machine will be on all the time. You will turn it on and off using the intensity dial.
Place the pads on the areas of pain. Most machines have 2 channels so you may use the machine on 2 different areas of your body. Turn the intensity up slowly to the point where you feel it softly - never strong!
Always place the pads back on the plastic when not in use. If the pads are not sticky moisten them with a little water. The pads will last 5-10 days.
You can purchase the TNS pads on Amazon. They're about $15 for 40 pads. It's a good idea to purchase more pads when you get your machine so you will have them on hand.
The secret to pain control is to always have the machine on the SOFTEST STIMULUS. You may not feel it after a while so turn it up until you feel it again at a SOFT level.
The TNS machine has helped me and so many of my patients. Pain is a terrible thing. No one should have to live with pain! The TNS is an amazing, drug free solution.
This is not a paid endorsement.

Puedes usar el dispositivo TNS 24 horas al día incluyendo noche. No hay limite.
Algunos pacientes lo usan por meses.
No usar el dispositivo TNS en el agua.
La configuración del aparato depende del fabricante.
Yo prefiero pulso lento, pulso bajo en la anchura de la transmisión y a nivel suave.
Cualquier variación funciona. Es simplemente una preferencia personal. Algunos dispositivos especifican partes del cuerpo. El ajuste más importante es el minutero, debe ser establecido a C que significa que el dispositivo estará prendido todo el tiempo. Tú lo apagaras en el botón de intensidad.
Coloca los parches en el área del dolor. La mayoría de los dispositivos tienen dos canales para que puedas usar el dispositivo en 2 áreas diferentes de tu cuerpo. Sube la intensidad lentamente al punto donde lo sientas suavemente, no tan fuerte!
Siempre coloca los parches de regreso en el plástico cuando no están en uso.
Si los parches no están pegajosos agrega agua en ellas para humedecerlas. Los parches duraran de 7-10 días. El mejor lugar para adquirir los parches es en linea, en Amazon - TNS PARCHES. El costo es $15 dls por 40 parches. Asegurate de ordenar lo suficiente para que siempre las tengas disponibles.
El secreto para el control del dolor es siempre tener el dispositivo en el estimulo mas suave.
Probablemente después de un tiempo no lo sientas entonces subele al estimulo para poder sentir, igual a un nivel suave.
