Claim:
1. A method of treating an ailment of a patient using a neuromodulation device, comprising: delivering electrical energy at a first frequency to a first set of electrodes having a first combined electrode impedance; receiving a signal to switch from delivering electrical energy at the first frequency to delivering electrical energy at a second frequency greater than the first frequency; responsive to receiving the signal to switch, automatically instructing the neuromodulation device to deliver the electrical energy at the second frequency to a second set of electrodes having a second combined electrode impedance less than the first combined electrode impedance instead of at the first frequency to the first set of electrodes; and delivering the electrical energy at a second frequency greater than the first frequency to the second set of electrodes having a second combined electrode impedance less than the first combined electrode impedance.
