TENS 7000 Digital TENS Unit with Accessories - TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator for Back Pain Relief, General Pain Relief, Neck Pain, Sciatica Pain Relief, Nerve Pain Relief

I have used a TENS unit during physical therapy and didn’t know what I would need at home. I liked the simplicity of this one and it is a lot like the one the therapist used on me. I love the sturdy case it comes in and protected control knobs. My only complaint was that you only receive 4 electrodes pads so you will need to buy more.

In 2015 I suddenly had pain in my buttocks. It turned out to be severe stenosis with nerves being impinged. I had a laminectomy which helped for a while, and then the pain returned. Then I herniated a disc that reherniated. For the last several months Ive had growing significant pain which is that times extreme. From the beginning, the only thing that relieved the pain was opioids. I hated taking insane because of the Cardiology and gastroenterology issues, but I did take everything from ketorolac to celecoxib to ibuprofen. Ive taken neurontin, Lyrica, methocarbamol, and other stuff to know avail. Im now on 60 mg of morphine three times a day and it does nothing. The tolerance finally caught up to me. Over the years Ive had several different physical therapists and among all of them only one physical therapist try the TENS on me. (The physical therapist I have now did, but more on that later.) After the first back surgery, a laminectomy from l3 to l5, I had one of my several sessions of physical therapy. In that one the physical therapist took me up to a TENS machine for a little bit and then ask me if it helped. Well it didnt help as far as I could tell so that was the end of the TENS machine. Because of COVID, I searched for online physical therapy when I was once again referred to it. I found AIT and this is by far the best experience in physical therapy Ive ever had. I am one on one with the therapist for the entire time. They really have gotten to know me as we are able to talk at length and she can watch me do my exercises without having to go to other people and with that one-on-one guidance, Ive had much better results. And, she guided me on using the TENS unit. If I had known about this and then guided in its use a long time ago I would not be on any medication. If I have a pain that wont go away, I get a break from it which is a major relief. A pain that I write at two or three if it just came and went becomes a seven or eight if it never quits. Ive been using this for about a month now and I havent had a pain yet that the TENS didnt address at least while it was being used. And, more often than not, the pain will go away after using the unit. Before I had the TENS unit, getting off of the mat that I sleep on on the floor when I woke up in the morning was excruciating. I would do my PT exercises and that would make it a lot better, but getting started on the exercises was dreadful. Now I put on my TENS patches before starting the exercises and the difference is huge. It has taken a little experimentation to know where to put the patches. I have nerves down my calf that dont work, so putting the patches on them doesnt help with the pain. But if I put the patches on the area where these nerves are going down the leg above the calves, that takes care of the pain or reduces it significantly. So you have to experiment to find the right placement. The other thing about this 7000 TENS unit is that it is extremely durable. I often have the tens going as I move around in the wires get caught on something and it goes flying off and bounces on our hardwood floor, bathroom tile, or kitchen tile. It has survived and remained in perfect shape. Really yall, Im having surgery in a couple of weeks on the reherniation and my biggest dread is the process of getting off this high dose of morphine after the surgery. If I had had the TENS machine earlier, I wouldnt have that to look forward to.

This was recommended by my chiropractor and I find it easy to use and gives me great relief for my low back pain

Very pleased with purchase. Nice compact, several settings. I’ve got lymphedema and this helps circulation in my ankles.

Been using TENS units for many years, glad to see the price come down from the several hundred I used to have to spend. The only con to this one is its larger than ones Ive used before.

I gave 4: stars because the batteries that came with the device only lasted for 3 uses before they died. I need to buy more batteries and hope they last longer, as its not practical to need to get new batteries every week. The device itself worked great and helped with my upper back pain. It felt comparable to the E-stim machine used by my chiropractor.

I have debilitating menstrual pain, and I have a natural resistance to pain killers (including narcotics and blood thinners). In the 20 years Ive endured the red parade, this little thing is the ONLY way Ive gotten relief. For the first time, Im able to function like a normal human being (albeit with the cord and unit stuck to my belt). It definitely feels weird at first, and it might take you some time to figure out the right placement and settings for you. And keep in mind that layers of fatty tissue will reduce its effectiveness on the muscles underneath. My units been working well for a while, though its needed battery changes every other month or so. And if it ever does fail due to wear, Ill readily buy another. Another bonus seems to be that the node adhesive doesnt irritate sensitive skin. Well, at least it doesnt irritate mine. The case it comes with is also the ideal size for travel, either to work or further.

Lasted 13 months and stopped working.VERY disappointed After I wrote the above review, I need to change my previous review to 5 star. I contacted the company Tens Pro and explained the problem I was experiencing. The representative told me that the user manual that came with the unit suggested that the wires for the unit should be replaced after 6 months. Well, I have had the tens unit for 13 months, I have no idea where the manual is. But. I have to admit, it was my error. I have ordered new wires and felt it only right that I make this comment and change my review.

Simple and easy to use! Don’t let the booklet of instructions intimidate you it’s pretty easy to work. Take it out, hook yourself up and go! The clip also helps so you don’t have to stay seated when using it. The pads are really sticky and stay sticky through a ton of uses. Really helps with the pain pretty quickly and feels great.

Works well. Actually a tens unit. Most others are not.
