IMAGINE combining a TENS Unit and Heating Therapy in ONE Treatment! Sounds soothing, right?
Introducing the New “FUEGO” TENS and Heat Therapy Unit. The “FUEGO” is a Digital TENS Unit with 9 Treatment Modes that can be used with or without HEAT THERAPY. “FUEGO is strong and poweful TENS Unit, delivering up to 100mA intensity to the treatment area.
A TENS Unit is an extremely effective way to treat and control pain. A TENS Unit “tricks” the brain by overriding the pain receptor with a small electrical current impulse. A TENS Unit is an excellent treatment.
We have found during testing that when we combined HEAT Therapy with the TENS Unit, people feel even better relief. In addition, the heat was an effective part of the HEALING PROCESS.
Utilize the heat settings for even more pain relief than ever before. The unit has a built in sensor that tracks the temperature of the skin. The heat will shut off automatically when the skin temperature heats to 114 degrees for your safety and protection. The FUEGO TENS & Heat Unit comes with both AAA Batteries and an AC Adapter to utilize the heat function.
The FUEGO has customized programs for specific areas of the body such as back, shoulder, foot, arms, etc. This eliminates the “guesswork” for you and helps you take advantage of the best treatment modes right from the beginning.
Comes with Electrode Pads, Lead Wires, AC Adapter, Battery, and everything neededed for immediate use. The FUEGO is FDA approved as “safe and effective” for acute and chronic pain relief.
Advantages of ADDING Heat to your TENS Treatment:
Heat treatment is used as a treatment for many sports related musculoskeletal injuries. There are many forms of heat treatment, with the most effective often depending on the injury in question. Time scale is also an important factor when deciding whether to use heat therapy.
When Should I Use Heat Therapy?
Heat therapy should be used on chronic injuries and late stage acute injuries. A chronic injury is one that has persisted for a length of time and is usually due to overuse and biomechanical issues, as opposed to a traumatic incident. Heat can be used before exercise to warm the muscles, but should be avoided after exercise.
How Can Heat be Applied at Home?
One of the easiest ways of applying heat to an injury is by using the “FUEGO” TENS Unit. Simply plug the device in with the AC adapter and turn on the heat mode. This should be applied be 15-20 minutes at a time. The “FUEGO” TENS Unit heat is effective at warming deeper tissues. It also keeps the heat at a consistant temperature and shuts off he heat automatically.

About Pain:
Pain is a warning system and the body s method of telling us that something is wrong. Pain is important; without it abnormal conditions may go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of our bodies. Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body, nature may have gone too far in its design. Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until coded message travels to the brain where it is decoded, analyzed, and then reacted to. The pain message travels from the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message is switched to different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. The pain message is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive, drugfree method of controlling pain. TENS Units use tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. In most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.
In many patients, the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In others, pain is modified while stimulation actually occurs.
TENS Units are used to control Chronic and Acute pain including Rheumatoid and Osteo-arthritis, Back Pain, Menstrual Pain, Labour Pain, Peripheral Nerve Injuries, Shingles, Headache and Migraine, Cancer Pain, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Phantom Limb Pain, Sports Injuries, Sciatica, Aching Joints, Post Operative Pain, Muscular Pain, Whiplash and Neck Injury and many other painful conditions.
