How is Sympathetic Therapy different from TENS?
Although Sympathetic Therapy utilizes electrical current, it is not to be confused with common electrical stimulation modalities such as TENS. The most important distinction is in its application. Sympathetic Therapy treats systemically as opposed to locally. Whereas traditional electrical stimulation treats transcutaneously at or near the primary pain site, Sympathetic Therapy is performed by attaching electrodes bi-laterally to the upper and lower extremities and using the peripheral nerves to gain access to the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic Therapy is a patented procedure that entails a careful combination of unique carrier and beat frequencies and very specific electrode placements. The Dynatron STS and STS Rx are the only devices on the market that offer the unique components which make Sympathetic Therapy so effective.
