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

Ive heard of tens units and Ive definitely heard mixed reviews from people that have had them administered both professionally and at home with units like this and people either love it or hate it and I can only assume it boils down to the Proficiency in using the machine, as in how well you can place it and how well you understand how to use the machine and also what the root of your pain is. I cant speak for the people that hate it but for me personally I wish I had tried this thing years ago because works it perfectly for me. I have a spinal injury that will never heal and because of that the muscles around my spine are constantly overtight, I would have to get about five massages a week just to keep them relaxed and chill and often times I have a very hard time bending over to pick things up off the floor or even getting up out of chairs because it hurts so bad but I can put this on, two pads on each side of my spine just a few inches away from it because bear in mind you dont need to put any tens unit over your spine or joints, but after sitting in a chair with this on for 30 minutes I dont feel any relief while the unit is on but just a few short minutes after the 30 minute session is over and I pull the pads off my pain level changes for the better drastically, like if I couldnt bend over before I sat down and used this now I can bend over just fine after the treatment. This is definitely not a permanent solution because pain is your bodys way of telling you that something is wrong and until you fix the problem pain is never going to go away but that being said this definitely grants some temporary relief. For me Im good with using this about once a day unless I get out and do a lot of activity that requires bending and twisting then I may pop it on for a second time at the end of the day. I was skeptical of the reusability of the pads because usually you just toss sticky pads away after one use but I have used this unit with the same pads on several times now and they are still sticking exactly like theyre supposed to. I dont know how many more uses I will get out of them so I ordered some replacement pads but Im pretty impressed with how well they have held up so far. Also they dont leave a big gooey mess on you like the electrode sticky pads for an EKG or some other medical testing tend to do. I hate trying to scrub glue off of my skin and on the very first day that I used these they left a tiny bit of residue on my skin but it came right off with a washcloth and since then Ive not had any residue left behind at all. If youre in pain and youre hesitating to buy this because you dont know if it will work just go ahead and do it, I mean its Amazon if you try it and you dont like it send the thing back you know? Worst case scenario you wasted a little bit of your time if it doesnt work for you best case scenario you actually get some pain relief and for those of us who have been living with constant pain daily for years upon years that is something you cant put a price on

My Tens unit is easy to use and has been very helpful in reducing discomfort. The container is great for keeping all the bits and pieces together. It arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged.

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.

We bought this to try with ear clips for the vagus nerve for long nineteen. Once I accidentally turned the dial the wrong direction, as did one of my teens, so I returned the unit because it was too easy to make a mistake with it. The battery that came with the unit was DEAD. A bonus is that is is eligible for FSA tax free spending. If I did not need a TENS device to use with the ear clips, this would have been fine, but for my purpose I did not want to risk it. It is nice unit, but after shocking ourselves twice, I decided to return it to purchase one with up / down arrows.

This TENS 7000 unit is AWESOME! Ive struggled with lower back pain for years due to an OJ injury and shoulder pain from recent Rotoplasty surgery. I bought a Balifur tenz unit. That thing was complicated to operate, didnt come with an adapter(sold separately?!!). After fully charging it for 10 hours(!!) before inital use, it just quit working! It was Worthless. I returned it and with my refund I was scrolling to find a BETTER unit. I did. I saw this TENS 7000. I am BLESSED to have found it! It works immediately with a 9v battery and within MINUTES I have RELIEF from pain lasting hours. It has a clip so Im ambulatory if I need to be. Its light weight and comes with a small carrying case. The TENS 7000 comes with a year Warrany and another Good thing is, its AMERICAN made. Made in Ohio, USA!!

The heavy duty battery that is provided is meant to last only an hour max, which I dont understand but maybe Im missing something. Unfortunately, this one fell short. The battery that was included was already starting to corrode and was completely dead. Having to go out to buy a battery was an inconvenience. But once I replaced the battery it works well, so far.

The Tens 7000 has been a lifesaver for my chronic muscle strains. I lift quite a bit and have suffered some rhomboid issues. This device kicks ass! My wife also uses it for a hip flexor issue. She says its been quite effective. The chiropractor has been gouging us for years using basically the same device. Very pleased with this little power house. Its also super simple to use

Bottom line: I have been using this unit as part of a doctor-supervised program of physical therapy to reduce lower back pain through exercises, electrical stimulation and cold packs. While over a period of weeks my back pain has in fact been reduced to manageable levels, it is not possible to know if this is because of the exercises, the electrical stimulation or the cold packs, or some combination those treatments. Twelve years ago I had a fall that caused severe pain in my lower back that radiated down into my right leg. The neurologist I consulted diagnosed this as a bulging spinal disk in my lower back (L5/S1) pressing on one or more nerves, and offered to perform spinal surgery right away. I declined his offer and asked about alternatives, the most appealing of which involved several weeks of physical therapy (PT). Over the years, with and without PT, my severe back pain would come and go, usually managed by lying down for hours or a couple of days, and by popping OTC painkillers. Fast forward to late 2015, when the lower back pain began to interfere with my golf. My primary care provider recommended PT and, after consulting with an orthopedist, I began four weeks of PT, which has evolved considerably since 2004, with exercises that are now more varied and are much more closely tailored to my specific spinal issues than in the old days. In addition, a new (to me) technique of electrical stimulation has become common: TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). Having a doctorate in research psychology I tend to be skeptical of medical treatments that have not been documented by scientific research. Indeed, most of the literature on TENS acknowledges that its effects are highly subjective, hard to measure, and may vary substantially from person to person. Further, while for some people TENS may alleviate pain for short periods, TENS is widely acknowledged not to cure the underlying problem that is causing the pain. I have not found a controlled scientific study that clearly proves a causative connection between TENS use and reduction in pain. Further, only some individuals find TENS treatment beneficial, while others report no effect. Finally, some insurance companies will not cover purchase of TENS units or administration of TENS treatments because TENS has not been scientifically proven to stop pain, and especially lower back pain. In such a situation it is hard to say with any certainty that TENS actually works, or even to define with any precision for whom and under what conditions it may work. However, for me and many other people any non-pharmaceutical form of pain management and relief is highly desirable and greatly appreciated, so when my physical therapist recommended it I decided to give it a try as an accompaniment to my regular PT exercises. After several weeks of TENS treatments I find that my back pain is reduced, though some--perhaps most--of that reduction may be due to the exercises as opposed to the TENS. My series of Medicare-paid PT sessions has ended and, while I am able to do almost all of the exercises at home, I was interested to learn that I could get a small, personal version of the large TENS unit my physical therapist uses. Several of the staff in my PT center told me inexpensive units were readily available and that I should consider getting one for my personal use; my PT center does not sell these units, so the staff have no financial or other incentive to recommend purchasing one. After reading the on-line literature about and reviews of TENs units I found that they were available at prices ranging from $25 to several hundred dollars and decided to purchase an inexpensive one so I wouldnt lose much if it broke or failed to work. This TENS unit comes with a handy carrying case that includes the unit, electrodes, connecting wires, battery and instructions. I was actually impressed with the instructions, which were pretty detailed and clear and were written in much better English than is typical for most electronic goods made in China. Some of the controls are digital, which means they can be controlled with relative precision. However, setting the level of electrical stimulation is accomplished via tiny analog knobs, which are not very precise and are a bit difficult to manipulate. The settings on this unit range from 0 to 8; I found that 3 or 4 was the right level for me, and due to other reviewers comments I have not tried putting the level up to, say, higher than 5. There appear to be substantial individual variations in what is perceived as stimulation as opposed to pain, which is a good reason to have a professional show you how to use the unit and help you establish your own appropriate level of stimulation. The units adjustments include several types of stimulation (continuous, pulsing, variable). There is a useful timer and a handy belt clip that allows one to use the unit while walking around the house. One of the staff at my PT center noted that this little $27 unit even has a couple of features that the centers $400 hand-held unit lacks. Of course, the PT centers even larger and much more expensive non-portable TENS machine has more bells and whistles overall than this little unit does. The electrodes that come with the unit are about 1 square, which is suitable for smaller areas of the body like leg or arm or shoulder; upon the advice of my PT staff I purchased electrodes that are about 2 x 4, which are more suitable for larger areas like the back, and are the size of the ones used by the PT staff on my back. Alert: I am not an MD so I cannot offer medical advice. However, I can observe that these units can deliver a pretty hefty jolt of electricity if used improperly, so make sure you learn to use the unit correctly under the supervision of a physician and/or qualified physical therapist. Before using my new unit I took it to one of my PT sessions and had the staff show me how to use it properly. All of these TENS units have lots of warnings in their accompanying product literature, so be sure to follow ALL of these warnings carefully, along with the instructions of your doctor or physical therapist. These personal units are not toys, and should absolutely not be handled or operated by children or physically/mentally compromised adults. After 12 sessions of physical therapy, including exercises and TENS stimulation and ice packs, I am feeling a noticeable reduction in lower back pain and some improvement in flexibility, though it is impossible to say how much improvement is due to TENS vs exercises vs ice packs. Now that my PT sessions have come to an end I plan to continue to do the exercises and to use my little portable TENS unit at home. If, after consulting your doctor and/or a qualified physical therapist you and they think TENS may be helpful to you, I would suggest buying an inexpensive unit like this one to try it out, or trying a TENS treatment from a physical therapist or doctor. I paid for this unit with my own money and I have no personal or business relationship with the vendor, manufacturer or Amazon.

Se le daño la pila de una vez

My Chiropractic uses this so I got my own and it really helps.
