1. Explanation of Pain

Pain is a warning system, a way for the body to tell 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.

2. Explanation of TENS

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain control. TENS sends tiny electrical impulses through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problems, and it only helps control pain. TENS does not work for everyone, however, for most patients, it is effective in reducing or eliminating pain, allowing them to return to normal activities.

6.1 How to Use

  1. Clean your skin before use. Use the pads on clean and flat areas, no sweat and no oil.

    Diagram shows a person's upper body, illustrating cleaning the neck/shoulder area.

  2. Connect a pair of electrode pads to one lead wire; connect the other end of the wire to the left output of the device. Similarly, the other pair of electrode pads should be connected to the remaining wire end and the right output of the device. Note: Keep the unit off.

    Diagram shows the AUVON device with lead wires connected to two pairs of electrode pads, and the wires then connected to the device's output ports (left and right).

  3. Attach one pair or two pairs of the electrode pads to the massager area, such as shoulder and leg.

    Diagram shows electrode pads being attached to the shoulder and leg areas of a person, with lead wires connected.

    Note: Adding a few drops of water on the pads and drying the pads naturally will increase their longevity. Make sure both pads on the skin are not overlapping.

  4. Turn on the device by sliding the on/off switch on the top of the unit.

    Diagram shows a close-up of the device's top switch being moved to the 'on' position.

  5. Press the left "V" or "^" to choose Channel A, then "A" starts to flash. (Or Press the right "V" or "^" to choose Channel B, then "B" starts to flash.)
