Align EMS Bunion Corrector: full technical specifications
Align
On a device that delivers a microcurrent, three numbers let you compare two models objectively: the frequency, the pulse width and the maximum intensity. Here are the ones for the Align EMS Bunion Corrector, published and explained.
The signal specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Frequency range | 1 to 100 Hz |
| Pulse width | 50 µs (microseconds) |
| Maximum output intensity | 20 mA |
| Programmes | 10, from 20 to 100 Hz |
| Intensity adjustment | In steps, from the unit itself |
| Session length | Around 15 minutes, switches off automatically |
| Power | Rechargeable battery, charged by cable |
| Target area | Base of the big toe |
What each number means
The frequency (1 to 100 Hz) is the number of pulses per second. Low frequencies produce spaced-out pulses, felt as deep tapping; high frequencies give more sustained, continuous work. The ten programmes on the device use the range between 20 and 100 Hz.
The pulse width (50 µs) is how long each pulse lasts. A short pulse like this one produces the device's characteristic clean tingle — never a violent contraction, never anything like a shock.
The maximum intensity (20 mA) caps the power delivered. Adjustment is in steps: you start at the lowest for the first few evenings, and the right intensity is the one where you feel a clear contraction, never pain.
What are the ten programmes for?
Each programme combines frequency and rhythm differently, between 20 and 100 Hz. There is no universally correct programme: yours is the one whose sensation suits you across fifteen minutes. The M button cycles through the modes, the plus and minus buttons adjust the intensity, and once you have found your setting you stop touching it.
Precautions
Like any electrical stimulation device, this one is not advised for people with a pacemaker or any implanted electronic device, during pregnancy, over broken skin, or with epilepsy. If you have diabetes with loss of sensation in the foot, seek medical advice before use. A foot that is red, swollen or hot is a matter for a consultation, not for a device.
Why we publish these numbers
Because they are the only serious basis for comparing two EMS devices, and you should demand them from any seller. Ours are here. For questions about the company, delivery and the guarantee, see who is Align.
Frequently asked questions
What are the technical specifications of the Align EMS Bunion Corrector?
Frequency from 1 to 100 Hz, pulse width of 50 µs, maximum output intensity of 20 mA, ten programmes using the 20 to 100 Hz range, a session of around fifteen minutes with automatic shut-off, and a rechargeable battery charged by cable. The target area is the base of the big toe.
What does the signal feel like?
A short 50 µs pulse produces a clean tingle — never a violent contraction or anything resembling a shock. Intensity is adjusted in steps: start at the lowest, and the right level is the one where you feel a clear contraction, never pain.
Which of the ten programmes should I choose?
There is no universally correct one: each combines frequency and rhythm differently between 20 and 100 Hz. The M button cycles the modes, plus and minus adjust intensity, and yours is the one whose sensation suits you across fifteen minutes.
