Acticare TSE is promoted as being
"The Most Powerful Form of TeNS Available"
You may have seen it being discussed on TV or read about it in the National Press. Acticare TSE is amongst the very latest developments in the field of electro therapy for pain relief.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, Acticare TSE is patented type of "Interferential", a form of therapy used by Physiotherapists.

To understand the benefits of Interferential (therefore TSE) we need to compare this with standard TeNS which itself is universally recognised as an effective form of Drug Free Pain Relief.

Both technologies generate and apply electronic signals designed to stop or slow down the passage of pain signals as they pass along the nervous system to alert the brain that something is hurting. TeNS works at skin level and produces a very high level of sensation which effectively limits the "power" that can be comfortably applied. Interferential operates at very high frequencies, usually in excess of 4,000 Hz. These signals penetrate deep into the tissue and produce a very low level of sensation. Perhaps 10 times the power of a TeNS can be applied quite comfortably.

Acticare TSE is a "single channel" or "2 pole" Interferential. It uses just one pair of electrodes which, uniquely, are applied along the spine (or across the shoulders) to address large areas of pain.

Thus:

Transcutaneous (through the skin)
Spinal
Electroanalgesia (electrical pain relief

It has three preset TSE programmes. It can also be used as a traditional single channel TeNS with eight preset programmes

Summary:
- Drug Free, no side effects, safe to use.
- Much more powerful than conventional TeNS
- More comfortable to use than a normal TeNS
- Simple to use. Two electrodes treat the whole body.
- Fast acting.
- Low running costs.
- Qualifies for VAT exemption.
- Despatched for "Next Working day" delivery"

Common Questions and Answers
If your question is not answered below please call us on 0845 0900 800

What is TSE?
TSE stands for Transcutaneous (through the skin) Spinal Electro-analgesia (electronic pain relief). TSE is a drug-free treatment that provides effective relief from persistent aches and pains. It works by suppressing pain signals in the spinal cord using tiny electronic pulses. Although these pulses are repeated many thousands of times a second, they cannot be felt. TSE is safe, clinically proven to relieve pain and improve mood, and already used by thousands of people in the UK.

What is Acticare TSE?
TSE is currently only available on Acticare devices. Acticare TSE is the handheld electronic device that is used to deliver TSE treatments. It is both very easy-to-use, and the most sophisticated TSE device ever made. If you would like to purchase an Acticare TSE device please contact us or use our online ordering facility.

Is TSE safe?
Yes. Since the invention of TSE eleven years ago it has been safely and successfully used by the NHS and by thousands of people in the UK without any known harmful side-effects.

Why is Acticare more costly than some TENS devices?
Acitcare TSE is rather more sophisticated than a handheld TENS machine. It is unique in that it delivers the power output of a professional desktop electrotherapy machine in a battery powered device that you can carry in your pocket, 5-10 times the power of the best handheld TENS machines. This is achieved using a revolutionary method of digital waveform synthesis that is far more efficient than traditional designs.

How does Acticare TSE compare with a typical TENS device?
TSE pulses are of higher voltage, shorter duration and higher power than TENS. The Acticare TSE device looks very similar in size and shape to a TENS device, but its size is deceptive: under typical treatment conditions it delivers 5-10 times the power.

Do TSE treatments hurt?
No. TSE treatments are entirely painless and produce virtually no tingling sensation. Most people who use TSE cannot feel it at all.

What can TSE do for me?
If you suffer from a persistent painful condition such as back pain, osteoarthritis, unspecified musculoskeletal pains, migraine, or many others Acticare TSE can greatly improve your quality of life by:

- reducing or eliminating aches and pains
- reducing or eliminating requirements for pain killing drugs
- improving your sleep and mood
- increasing your mobility
- complementing any beneficial drug therapies without risk of - introducing any known harmful interactions or side effects

Is Acticare TSE easy to use?
Yes, very. Simplicity and effectiveness are two major advantages of Acticare TSE. There are only two simple pad placements to remember as described below.

Placing a pad on either side of your neck treats suitable pains in the head, neck, upper chest, and shoulders - while placing one pad at the base of your neck and the other halfway down your back treats pains arising everywhere else. This is unlike many other electrotherapy technologies where electrodes need to be placed over the exact nerves supplying the painful region, which usually requires expert advice. In short, you can effectively relieve pains anywhere in your body whilst at home with one easy-to-use technique.

Why are the pads placed over my spine?
All pain signals have to travel to your spinal cord before they can be felt, no matter where they come from in your body. TSE works by suppressing the passage of these signals in the spinal cord to provide pain relief.

Can I treat pain anywhere on my body?
Yes. Because TSE works by suppressing the passage of pain signals in the spinal cord it can treat multiple pains anywhere on your body at the same time.

What conditions has TSE had success with?
TSE is successfully being used today by people at home and by NHS pain clinics to treat conditions including back pain, osteoarthritis, cervical spondylitis, headaches, migraine, post-operative pain, neuralgia and many other painful conditions.

How successful is the TSE treatment?
TSE is a clinically proven treatment for persistent aches and pains. A formal, controlled clinical trial published in the Physiotherapy Journal (Macdonald and Coates 1995) showed unequivocal support for the beneficial effect of TSE as compared with the control in reducing five measures of pain severity.

Is TSE used in Hospitals?
Yes, TSE is currently being used in over 150 NHS hospitals.

When can I expect relief?
After an initial two-week treatment program most people have relief after 20 minutes of treatment. Some people find that they have relief after only 5 minutes. However, if your condition is very severe, or long-standing it may require several hours of treatment on a daily basis.

What other benefits will I get from TSE?
TSE has been proven to improve mood. Tests show that people using TSE for 30 minutes feel more 'elated', 'leisurely', and 'less tense'. Also, the effects of TSE have been observed to add-up, or accumulate, over time. Unlike other pain relief methods where you may require higher and higher doses to get the same relief as time goes on, one third of TSE users get longer lasting relief with every treatment.

Is Acticare TSE guaranteed?
Yes. You can return your Acticare TSE device within 28 days of purchase for a full refund. The Acticare TSE unit is guaranteed against faults in materials and workmanship for one year.

Can I telephone for advice?
Yes. Simply call 0845 0900 800 (local call rate).

Testimonials
These are some of the many genuine testimonials filed at Acticare's Head Office.

Patients suffering "Back Pain"

"I used to be doubled up in pain: it was so severe I wanted to bang my head on the floor...now when I feel pain coming I switch it on. You do not feel anything but after a short while you become relaxed and sleep comes easily. I was being prescribed 250ml of morphine every month but now I never use it."
Mr GB, Plymouth

"Saves me from using Temgesic regularly (3 times a day). Now I have only used 10 tablets in the last 6 months. Thank you."
Mrs SH, Thornbury

"Having suffered with a prolapsed disc which was causing considerable pain preventing me from sitting for more than 10 minutes at a time and from sleeping properly at night, I decided to attempt a course of treatment with TSE - the results have been very encouraging and together with other treatment it has enabled me to totally change my life around by training in garden design and buying up a farmhouse in France needing renovation."
Ms MM, Kingswood

"I suffered acute pain in my back which no regular treatment relieved then I was introduced to TSE and within a couple of hours the pain had completely gone and did not return."
Mrs JC, Taunton

Patients suffering from Arthritis

"It enables me to live almost a normal life and to enjoy my grandchildren to the full."
Mrs JJ, Aberystwyth

"I have been using a TSE machine for the past few months. After a couple of weeks using the device I fell asleep in my chair with it switched on. I'd forgot I was wearing the machine but when I awoke 3 hours later I felt very different. Not only did I feel relaxed and rested having had the best sleep for a number of months, but I noticed that for the first time in years I was entirely pain free. It was a wonderful feeling after ten years of suffering from Osteoarthritis, I thoroughly recommend TSE to anybody in my position."
Mrs JM, Bournemouth

Patients suffering from Osteoporosis

"My husband has emphysema and osteoporosis.The pain was very acute at times and pain killers didn't seem to help.We now use TSE for an hour every two or three days and he is so much better. One evening last week while my daughter was visiting he was winding me up and we ended up in fits of laughter, my daughter said she never thought she'd see her dad laugh again like that, but it's hard to laugh when you're in severe pain."
Mr & Mrs EJ, Bristol

Patients suffering from Spondylosis

"I have suffered with continuous pain and discomfort for over 15 years generated by a problem with my neck vertebrae. I have over the years tried physio and treatment from a chiropractor, all to no avail. I have now had four treatments with the TSE and for the first time have experienced 7 days free of pain and discomfort. This has been a tremendous relief to me and for the first time in years I have been able to enjoy the basic things in life, such as a meal, sleeping and taking the dog for a walk. Most importantly my concentration has returned and at last I am able to experience a clear head."
Mr RC, Stapleton

Patients suffering from Sciatica

"At last an effective form of pain control has been found! .my whole life has changed. One hour's treatment by TSE gives me fourteen hours of relief from pain."
Mrs AA, Canterbury

"I bought a TSE machine three years ago and this has helped me a great deal. It is similar to TENS but I find it more beneficial."
Ms CD, Edinburgh

Patients suffering from Headaches and Migraine

"I was going to bed with pain and waking up with pain. But I haven't had a headache since the treatments."
Mr JW, Shirehampton

"I have suffered from Migraine for the past five years and normally use prescription drugs to deal with the problem, but they leave me feeling rather light headed for some while after taking them. When I first heard of TSE I didn't believe that it would be any more effective than aspirin. After trying TSE for the first time early in an attack, I was astonished that after 20 minutes the pain was completely gone."
Mr SG, Bristol

Patients suffering from Shingles

"It is more effective than I would have believed. Within 10-15 minutes the pain diminished rapidly, and the relief lasts for hours. Words can not express how grateful I have been and still am. I was introduced to this magical machine by my son whose wife used one for a long period. I would have no hesitation in recommending this to friends or family."
Mrs MW, Wolverhampton

And more...........

"Just brilliant. .. The pain I suffered after a stomach operation was so bad it stopped me from sleeping. Now I am 70% better."
Ms JM, Portishead

"Years ago, I pulled a shoulder muscle while exercising. From time to time, this old injury returns as a nasty throb that keeps me awake at night. After I discovered TSE treatment, I found that 20 mins treatment was enough to take the pain away. I can highly recommend TSE."
Mr TC, Weston

"TSE has proved more helpful than TENS. It is more effective."
Mrs JG, Norwich

"For me it has worked to reduce the stress caused by my illness and the pain associated with it."
