Baxolve TENS and lumbar support unit
Both these pain relieving therapies are available from one Baxolve belt. The belt is worn tightened if you want maximum lumbar support or looser if it is just being used for TENS pain relief, and can be used for a maximum of eight hours a day. The Baxolve belt does not limit your mobility and can be worn under clothing. It comes with a push button control unit that allows you to select your treatment programme, plus a 9v battery, adhesive pads, an instruction manual, and carry case. This support belt will fit waists that are 30-47”or 76-120 cm. A belt extension is available separately which will fit waists up to 56”/ 142cm.
Health benefits
Lower back pain can be caused by a number of conditions including Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. Several clinical studies have demonstated that TENS and lumbar support can relieve pain.
If you are suffering fron acute pain, the TENS programme can mask this providing immediate relief. For dull, aching pain, Baxolve stimulates the release of endorphins. These are pain-relieving hormones that continue to circulate in your body after treatment. The belt also provides lumbar support by supporting your abdominal and spinal muscles. As well as preventing painful movements, the belt can also improve posture. You can also use the digital TENS unit to relieve pain in other places, such as upper back, knees, shoulders and hips, using the additional set of leads and pads in the Baxolve accessory pack, available separately from the BUPA Shop.
