DR-HO Pain Therapy 4 Pad TENS System Features
Compared to other TENS machines that use only TENS (Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation) technology, the Pain Therapy System uses a combination of TENS, EMS (Electronic Muscle Stimulation) and our proprietary Auto-Modulating technology to help the user get more effective results, faster. Other systems that use only TENS technology can fail to be as effective as the Pain Therapy System because the body gets used to the type of stimulation the machine is providing and the treatment becomes ineffective. With the Pain Therapy System, the technology is set up to randomize the type of treatment that is being given so that the body doesn't become immune to the treatment and the treatment can remain more effective, for a much longer period of time.
- 12 Different Massage Techniques - DR-HO’S 12 soothing massage techniques constantly change so body never adapts to just one type of massage. Many other cheaper devices available on the market do not vary the massage techniques, resulting in adaptation and reduced results. With variable massage techniques, DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System is much more effective.
- Powerful & Comfortable - DR-HO’S provides 12 of the best soothing massage techniques proven to relieve deep and chronic muscle tension and pain in as little as 20 minutes. The soothing massage techniques simulate the techniques used by massage therapists, including deep kneading, gentle chopping, and soothing rubbing.
- Safe, Easy-To-Use & Portable - DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System is powered by only 2 AAA alkaline batteries and is certified by the National Research Testing Laboratory (UL). It is very small and portable and can be used anywhere, anytime.
- Effective for the Entire Body - DR-HO’S can be used to relieve pain on over 20 different body areas including head and neck pain, shoulder tension, back pain, hip pain, leg tension, sore feet, and more. The system comes equipped with a full instructional DVD and reference guide that demonstrates proper placement of the massage pads, body positioning, and corrective exercises.
- Automatic Timer - Set the automatic timer for 10 or 20 minutes on DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System TM before the user sleep and enjoy a deeply relaxing massage before bed. DR-HO’S system will automatically shut off.

How does DR-HO'S 4 Pads Massage System work?
Read below to learn how the 4 Pad muscle therapy system works to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension and spasms, increase tissue oxygenation and increase circulation. DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System works:
- To reduce muscle tension and spasms - Spasms of skeletal muscles are often a result of overuse, dehydration, or from electrolyte abnormalities. A spasm is painful, abrupt, and often requires immediate relief. Clinical studies conducted at the University of Waterloo used electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic procedure that attaches electrodes to the skin and takes recordings of the electrical activity of muscle tissue, to test the Pain Therapy System’s effectiveness in reducing muscle spasms. This procedure found that using DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System significantly reduced muscle spasms.
- To relieve pain - A traditional TENS unit only blocks the pain temporarily. Traditional TENS machines provide stimulation at the same frequency, and over time the body adapts and stops responding. DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System is different because it provides 12 different types of stimulation that vary in frequency, waveform, ramp speed, and intensity. It’s also programmed to automatically change the stimulation at random to prevent the body from adapting. These 12 different types of stimulation simulate soothing and relaxing massage techniques. The most important difference about DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System over the traditional TENS machine is that it is proven to provide pain relief in as little as 20 minutes of use.
- To increase circulation - The muscle oxygenation signals received while patients used the Pain Therapy System indicate that the Pain Therapy System’s ability to increase tissue oxygenation also results in an increase of circulation. Using the Pain Therapy System can encourage blood to circulate and therefore transport nutrients, oxygen, blood cells, and other nourishment that helps fight diseases and maintain a healthy body.
- To increase tissue oxygenation - The body must maintain a stable level of oxygen saturation to ensure the proper functioning of the organs, brain, and heart. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a method used for medical and physiological diagnostics, and is capable of measuring blood flow and the rate of oxygen consumption in the body. This non-invasive method showed that individuals using DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System showed a significant increase in tissue oxygenation.
