Lloydspharmacy Tens Machine


Product Code: 8195836
Price: Was £14.99 Now £7.49







Quantity:
Over half of us suffer from chronic pain such as back or joint pain. Whether you have one of these conditions, or just suffer from intermittent pain, you know it can stop you doing even the simplest of things.

What if there was a safe, affordable and effective form of pain relief for a range of different complaints which you could use alongside over the counter or prescription pain relief medication?

The Lloydspharmacy TENS machine delivers small, painless electrical pulses to the body via electrodes placed on the skin. This blocks the way pain signals are sent to the brain and stimulates the body to produce its own pain relieving chemicals called endorphins.

TENS is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A TENS unit will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of drug intake! For many the relief is dramatic.

Give yourself a break from pain with the Lloydspharmacy TENS Machine Digital Pain Reliever.


Safety Warning:

NOT FOR USE DURING PREGNANCY OR LABOUR. Not suitable for people with pacemakers or other implanted medical devices, or for people with heart rhythm problems. Cancer patients, people with epilepsy or diabetes should consult their doctor or Lloyd's pharmacist before use. Not suitable for children under 16 years of age. Please refer to user manual for additional warnings and cautions.

cheapest labour one is £29.99 HERE

Fell pregnant at 19 with my 1st and now i'm 24 and baby two is on the way
OH was saying that we should try after Christmas for our next baby...i was shocked to say the least,lol
