In my earlier blog, I went through the reasons why some Electrical Stimulation Devices are not available in Canada.  So, instead of just complaining about it, we decided to research the devices that are available in Canada.  We wanted a device that had a reasonable price point, was user friendly, and I would use each device as part of my own home rehab program, so that I could help troubleshoot any problems that clients may have. 

We came up with three options, with three different price points.  We offer product support on all three devices, two carry a one year warranty, one with a two year warranty, and all come in a hard plastic carrying case. We now have all three devices in stock and ready to ship.

PHASE 5 TENS / EMS COMBO $162.99

Phase-5 TENS + EMS Combo – JGH Rehab

Includes: - Phase 5 ED-8800 Console

                 - Hard Plastic Carrying Case

                 - 2 Lead Wires

                  - 4 Electrodes

                 - 9 Volt Battery

                 - Detailed Operators Manual

This unit is basically plug and play with ready to go programs with no programming required.  It is the most user friendly of the three with:  

  • Modes: Normal, Burst, Modulated and HAN
  • 9 TENS Programs for pain control
  • 7 NMES Programs for muscle stimulation
  • 4 Multi-Phase Programs combining TENS + EMS
  • 3 Customizable Programs
  • I have discovered that the unit works best with a Duracell Battery

This unique device offers a wide range of built-in programs for muscle stim and pain control. Some programs utilize both TENS and NMES in different phases of the treatment - starts with a TENS phase to reduce pain, then switches to an NMES program for muscle re-education, and finishes with a final TENS phase to provide lasting pain relief after the treatment! Conventional TENS and NMES programs are also included.
