T.E.N.S. Disclaimer

By purchasing a T.E.N.S. unit online from Queen West Physiotherapy I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to all of the below:

Do NOT use T.E.N.S. in the following circumstances:

• If you are in your first trimester of pregnancy (it is okay to use during labor - please consult your doctor)
• If you have numbness or less feeling over a painful area
• If you have pre-existing lymphoedema. T.E.N.S. may affect lymphatic circulation, causing further fluid retention. Issues of skin integrity should also be considered

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR before using T.E.N.S. for the following circumstances:

• If you have a pacemaker
• If you have a cardiac condition
• If you currently have Cancer or if you have previously had cancer
• If you have recently experienced unexplained noticeable weight loss
• If you have undiagnosed pain
• If you have epilepsy
• If you have had a stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident - CVA) or mini-stroke (Transient Ischemic Attack - TIA)

Do NOT use T.E.N.S. in the following ways:

• While driving or operating potentially dangerous machinery
• While in the shower
• Do not use internally (inside your body)
• Do not place pads in a way that directs the current through the chest wall (i.e. by placing one electrode on the back and the other opposite this on the front of the chest)
• Do not place pads on the front of your neck. This risks stimulating the carotid sinus, which could cause cardiac problems (usually hypotension)
• Do not apply pads over the eyes
• Do not place pads across the temples on the head
• Do not place pads over incisions or broken skin, sores and areas of eczema and psoriasis
• Do not use with very high intensity if you find that your skin feels like it burns (dermal reaction due to electrical irritation)
• Do not use if an allergy develops to the pads, adhesive or tape that is used. Find alternative materials
