During the acute phase, use of current pulsation to drive out the edema is recommended as most patients will be too sensitive to use the muscle/joint pumping technique. (See edema reduction pad placement diagrams) Elevate involved area above the heart to encourage drainage to the lymphatic system and assist in edema reduction.

Place pads longitudinally on origin of muscle and muscle belly. For large muscle groups such as quads, use quadripolar set up to stimulate all four muscles. (See muscle stimulation pad placement diagrams) For atrophied muscles, use lower pulse rate of 35Hz to avoid fatigue.

Always cross pads so that “X” marks the area of pain or dysfunction. Incorporating trigger points in pad placement if relative to dysfunction or pain will provide additional pain relief in some cases. (See trigger point stimulation pad placement diagrams)

MUSCLE SPASM REDUCTION

Use of a trigger point in pad placement may give additional benefit of pain control along with muscle spasm reduction. If spasm is bilateral, place pads in bipolar set up on same muscle on both sides. (See muscle spasm reduction pad placement diagrams)
