Is It Possible To Treat The Trap Area Above Both Shoulders With Two Electrodes On Each Side?

I suffer from severe spasms in my neck, shoulders and back. When I am placing my electrodes on my areas of pain I always put all 4 electrodes on one side (kind of in a criscross square looking placement) at a time. This is the way I was shown by my physician but sometimes I have extreme pain in both sides at once. Is it possible to treat the trap area above both shoulders with two electrodes on each side or should I stick to treating one side at a time?

Severe spasm on neck also need muscle relaxant, apart from TENS. Just follow his instruction about electrode because they changes according to machine you are using. Muscle relaxant like myoril will help you. So is warm shower. Also avoid keeping neck in same position for long times.
