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

If you have any back pain, sciatica pain neck pain, this is a real good alternative to help heal. I ended up borrowing one of these from a coworker and I liked it and finally bought one for myself. Be careful on how fast you turn it up because it could really shock your fast if you’re not cautious. But as long as you use the product as intended it is a great item. It’s a must have.

I had the worst kind of back spasms you could have, up there with child labor and having a hysterectomy. Screaming bad. Had to wait two weeks to get into physical therapy. Now I had never heard about a Tens Unit before I was able to get in, so I was taking prescribed meds and over the counter pain killers around the clock. When I finally got in to physical therapy (chiropractor couldnt do a thing either, mind you) all he did was wrap a hot water bottle in towels (HEAVEN!!!) and hook me up to this weird never seen before unit. He told me to do stretches too. I went three times, same thing, and I asked him if I could buy a smaller unit. That was enough for me. Best purchase for the price, got extra pads, and a two more nine volts as back up. The unit will tell you when the battery is about to die (I squeezed that battery of its juices to the last drop) then popped another right in and continued the shocking treatment. Get a hot water bottle confidently and securely dried on the outside wrapped with towels for the ultimate comfort of the treatment. I havent taken any more meds since. Thats the ultimate goal - get off the dependency of medicine while you can. Worth the money!!!!

Tens units are amazing for pain management and physical rehabilitation. Once you figure out the best settings for your particular situation, they are quite effective aid in treatment plans. However, one big drawback using these are the pads can loose adhesion very quickly - for me after about 5 applications... maybe because I have naturally oily skin and very hairy legs. I wish these had the replaceable pads, but they dont. Next time, I think I will opt for ones that have this option - as using a wrap or tape to keep them in place is very inconvenient.

I highly recommend this TENS unit. My physical therapist uses this one and I figured her endorsement was a good enough reason to try it. After two months of regular use, Im not disappointed. Best one Ive tried. The last one I tried before this had a large display screen that cracked horribly the first time I dropped it, which meant I could no longer use many of the settings because I couldnt see them. Plus the electrodes would work intermittently even though it was brand new. On the other hand, Ive dropped my TENS 7000 unit *numerous* times on my hardwood floors due to clumsiness and weak hands from RA, and it still works perfectly. It doesnt have a big display screen, so theres not much that could crack. And the electrodes have worked reliably since day one. Another factor to consider is that on a lot of other units (including the last one I tried) you can accidentally bump the intensity dial or other settings, but on the TENS 7000 all the controls have covers over them so you dont surprise yourself by bumping the intensity up to some insane level and then panicking and scrambling to turn it down or off. The TENS 7000 has numerous signal pattern options for variety so your nerves dont adapt to a single monotonous pattern, and can be set to run for up to an hour at a time. It also has two different channels so you can use four electrodes at once if you want. It takes a 9V battery. When I use it ALL DAY, a battery will typically last me about 3-4 days, and thats actually a LOT of hours when you think about it. Most users dont run them for hours at a time. Tip: Its helpful to wipe the electrodes down with rubbing alcohol after every couple uses or so to remove any oils that can build up, which maintains signal clarity. For anyone who hasnt tried a TENS unit, they really do help with a lot of different types/sources of pain. They work by delivering electrical impulses which disrupt the pain signals being transmitted through nerves, including the sciatic nerve. Ive heard feedback from folks with various conditions that cause nerve pain who say they also get some relief from TENS units. Doesnt hurt to try. Besides interrupting nerve pain signals, Ive also found that the impulses can often get my spasming muscles to at least partially relax. When Im focused on the pain in my low back, Ill put an electrode on either side of my spine around L5. When sciatic pain (which I get on my right side) is bad, Ill put one electrode on the right side of my spine around L5-S1, and Ill put the other electrode further down the path of the sciatic nerve on my bum, wherever the pain is strongest in that area. That placement effectively interrupts/dulls the signal for me so that it lessens the intensity of the pain. Often it interrupts the pain signal enough that it only radiates partway down my leg, and on a good day it sometimes stops it from radiating much at all. Left uncontrolled, that pain can bring me to my knees in tears (not exaggerating), so anything that brings it into a tolerable range is hugely successful in my opinion. For me its helpful about 95% of the time. There are some days where I wear it from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, or sometimes even when I go to bed if the pain wont let up when I lay down. And Ill wear it when I run errands, or just any time Im doing anything that involves sitting, standing, or moving around. It latches onto to my pocket fairly securely with the built-in clip. I change the impulse pattern every hour when I restart it so my nerves dont adapt and become desensitized to the signal. One pair of electrodes will usually last through quite a few uses, and you can buy replacement electrodes in bulk on Amazon for a reasonable price. I paid $25 for a 48-pack (24 pairs) and I typically go through a couple pairs per week.

I suffer from chronic pain in so many areas and have tried so many different things to help, but this tens unit is amazing how well it is helping!!!! Highly recommended

This is the best product in the world if you have pain. It would not work on my hip bursitis, but it would work on my lower back muscles. Because my hip hurts so much I couldn’t even walk straight. That made my lower back muscles hurt. When I use this device, it eliminated the pain completely. Great invention!

My PT specifically recommended this product to treat my bladder pain. Its awkward getting the electrodes to stick where they need to for that just because of my bloated potbelly, and I had to play around with the treatment settings to optimize them for myself, but it really does help with the pain. I use it typically once a day. The electrodes are somewhat annoying to manage, at first sticking tightly to everything they touch to the point that its difficult to peel them off the sheet or adjust placement, then after ~5 uses lose so much adhesiveness that they sometimes have trouble sticking properly where I want them. I tend to get about 10-15 days out of a set of electrodes. A little water on them restores their adhesion, at least for another 2 uses or so. Definitely read the manual before use. YMMV depending on what area youre treating and just plain what works for you, but though I find it kind of a nuisance to set up & take apart/put away, its greatly reduced my pain levels.

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.

I had the earlier model, TENS 3000, which was excellent, so I didnt hesitate to buy this. I just want a basic TENS unit, not 1,500 different modalities and acrobatics for the machine to do -- just good old, basic TENS. This unit is super simple to operate....easy to understand, easy to use, easy to control, easy to pack back up when done. I use it while reading, watching TV etc. Its easy-on, easy-off. Depending on how experienced you are in determining exactly where you electrode pads need to be, the machine does the rest and the controls are simple. I looked at a lot of others before buying this, thinking maybe I needed nouveau features. I dont. I use a TENS for basic pain relief and thats what this delivers. It may not be super razzle-dazzle -- but I like simplicity and I like to get what I WANT in a product. And I did.

I use for severe back pain. I use every day throughout the day. High settings. I would like it to be good for a longer period than 45 days,
