Introduction
Thank you for buying the Kinetik Wireless TENS Pain Reliever, a safe drug free way to relieve every day
and long-term pain. Multiple stimulation and intensity settings allow you to customize your treatment
for different parts of the body and levels of pain.
Why consider digital pain relief?
Pain is a warning signal; we need these signals to tell us that something may be wrong with our
body. Without it, we may not know that parts of our body might be damaged, thereby damaging
them further. However, once we have identified damage, pain serves little purpose. In the case
of chronic, regular pain it can significantly interfere with daily activities and the quality of life.
TENS transmits harmless electrical signals through 4 pads direct to the site of pain, blocking the
pain signals and stimulating endorphins – the body’s own natural painkillers.
• Simple – easy to use, lightweight and portable.
• Customisable – multiple stimulation and intensity settings.
• Effective – recommend by doctors and physiotherapists.
• Safe – drug free relief which can be used alongside medication if required.
Before you start, it is important that you read this instruction booklet carefully.
Please keep it in a safe place in case you need to refer back to it at a later date.
If you have any concerns about your pain symptoms, we recommend you contact your doctor.
