Vitalic Perio-TENS Pain Management Device

Transcutaneous (through the skin) Electrical Nerve Stimulation, known as TENS, is a non-invasive therapy used to relieve pain. Unlike strong pain medication, TENS therapy does not cause nausea, drowsiness or lead to therapy dependence.

The medical literature confirms the beneficial effect of TENS therapy on relieving acute and chronic pain, soothing fatigue in congested limbs and improving blood circulation in treated areas. 

The Perio-TENS is a powerful, miniature device about the size of a 50 cent coin (excluding electrode pad) which discreetly affixes to the skin at the painful site. It can be used under clothing without attracting attention to relieve a variety of painful complaints including sciatica, period pain, migraine, nocturnal leg cramps, muscular pain and stiffness due to sports or daily activities.

Device Operation

Switch the device on by pressing the (Green) ON/+ button and the function display light will illuminate. By pressing the On/+ button again, the device begins treatment at its lowest intensity level. The device has 10 intensity levels to allow the selection of appropriate treatment strength. Select the desired intensity level by pressing the On/+ button the required number of times.

This device will automatically stop and switch off after 20 minutes of treatment. You may repeat therapy again by repeating the above paragraph. 

Treatment may be discontinued at any time by pressing -/OFF button repeatedly (depending on the level of intensity selected) until the function display light turns off.

With minor care the electrode will provide between 25 to 30 treatments of 20 minutes duration. 

Side effects of TENS therapy are rare but may include muscle soreness (from overusing the device) or minor skin irritation at the site of electrode application, which usually alleviates within 30 minutes of completing treatment.
