Designed to
- Provide temporary pain relief from muscle strains.
- Stimulate and improve muscle performance.
Best for:
- Pain relief from day-to-day activities like walking, work, errands, or recreational sports.
About the Primera
The non-invasive Primera provides pain relief in two ways: The gate control mechanism and endorphin release. When the body is injured, pain signals are delivered to the brain through the nervous system. That tells your body that you're hurting. Primera sends tiny pulses over the skin through the nerves to the spinal chord and brain (gate control mechanism). Along the transmission there are many areas referred to as "gates". The gates determine which pulses can continue to the brain. The gates regulate how quickly the information is delivered to the brain. Since the same nerve cannot carry a pain and a non-pain impulse at the same time, the stronger, non-pain impulse from the Primera device "controls the gate", relieving pain.
Endorphin release is the body's natural pain killer. The Primera device can help produce high levels of the chemical endorphins to naturally reduce pain. These chemicals interact with receptors, blocking the perception of pain. No matter which pain control mechanism is used, Primera delivers temporary pain relief.
- 8 TENS programs for the temporary relief of pain.
- 5 NMES programs to improve muscle performance.
- Primera TENS (pain relief) modes include:
- Continuous TENS – Provides continuous stimulation during the treatment time.
- Burst Mode TENS – Low-level stimulation with a variety of short bursts, changing in pulse width and rate.
- Modulation TENS – Stimulation is continuously cycling the pulse width and rate.
- HAN TENS – Stimulation is continuously cycling the pulse width and rate.
Features & Benefits:
Pulse rate means how many times you feel that pulse within the width

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is used to ease pain (acute or chronic). Through a TENS device, tiny electronic pulses are delivered through the surface of the skin and along the nerve strands. Think of TENS as a pain blocker. The stimulating pulses prevent signals of pain to be delivered to the brain. TENS machines also help the body produce high levels of endorphins, which are the body's natural pain fighting mechanism
What is NMES?
NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) is a non-invasive, non-addictive means of muscle rehabilitation after injury, surgery or disease. Electrodes are placed on the skin over selected muscle groups. Through electrical stimulation, the muscles contract, reducing pains associated with orthopedic and neurological diagnoses.
