AXION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The primary functions of the STIM-PRO X9a are the treatment /pain relief with the TENS mode and electrical muscle stimulation with the EMS mode. Explanation of pain Pain is a warning system and the body’s method of telling us that something is wrong.
STIM-PRO X9a mode of TENS is for the purpose of stimulating the body’s own natural pain control. The “Burst”-mode (B) in a lower frequency may stimulate the organism, so that analgesic substances are set free which are called endorphins. For further details please refer to your doctor.
These impulses reach the nerves and muscles through the skin. The electronics of the STIM-PRO X9a creates electrical impulses whose in intensity, pulse duration and frequency using the manual modes. All functions are easy to handle and the big LCD display shows all parameter values clearly readable.

STIM-PRO X9a Steps to select a program (P) Select P mode with In program mode you can choose between 37 different programs for various areas of application. These are fully pre-programmed - just set the intensity for the connected channels and start the application!
AXION Program mode (P) All parameters are set by default. TENS – STIMULATION The programs have proven to be helpful in most cases for the suggested applications. However, they might be used for the treatment of other injuries or discomforts as well. Every patient responds individually to stimulation current.
