proven therapies, TENS and Lumbar Support, in one integrated belt.
Support can be used together for maximum pain relief or separately, as the situation requires.
TENS:
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is widely used in hospitals and clinics as it is a
clinically proven, extremely safe and drug-free method of pain relief. TENS consists of sending
comfortable pulses to the nerves, which eases pain in two distinct ways:
• Pain Gate Control – TENS works by gently stimulating your sensory nerves to suppress

the pain signal to the brain. The brain cannot register the sensation as pain and thus, the pain
is reduced. Pain relief usually lasts as long as the stimulation continues, with some carry-over
effect. This type of pain relief is most appropriate for sharp, severe, acute pain.
• Endorphin Release – Endorphins are the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals, they are
released when the body feels certain types of pain.
endorphins when used for at least 30-40 minutes. Pain relief should last up to several hours
after treatment has ceased. Hence, this treatment is most appropriate for dull, aching, chronic
pain.

Lumbar Support:

Lumbar support can be used to ease lower back pain and also to help prevent the onset of lower
back pain. The belt works by providing support to the spinal and abdominal muscles.
BAXOLVE
Lumbar support when applied firmly and comfortably, should assist lower back pain through the
inter-related mechanisms of:
• Restricting painful movement
• Improving positional awareness and posture
• Providing warmth to the affected area which stimulates local circulation generating a feeling
of well-being

BAXOLVE CAN BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING
1. Lower Back Pain (see
page 6 for more details)
Lower back pain is a
symptom that affects up
to 80% of the population
at some point in life and
may have several causes.
2. Lumbar Support (see page 6 for more
details)
Lumbar support can be used to ease lower
back pain and also to help prevent the onset
of lower back pain. Lumbar support garments
are known to help in the prevention of
mechanical lower back pain and other pain
caused by arthritis, muscular imbalance,
chronic postural disorders and muscle strain.
3. Neck Pain (see page 8 for
more details)
Neck pain usually involves
discomfort in the upper
parts of the shoulders
and/or the neck. The most
common causes of neck
pain are poor posture, poor
sleeping position, emotional
stress or whiplash injury.
4. Shoulder Pain (see page 9
for details)
Shoulder pain, although
not as common as lower
back pain, can be just as
debilitating. Poor muscle
tone, muscle tension or
spasm, sprains, ligament
or muscle tears and joint
problems can often cause
shoulder pain.
5. Upper Back Pain (see page 9
for more details)
Although upper back pain is
not very common, it can cause
significant discomfort and pain
when it does occur. The most
common causes of upper back
pain are muscular irritation and
joint dysfunction.
