TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator - Non-Invasive EMS Therapy Machine for Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain Relief, Sciatica, Arthritis - Safe & Portable with 12 Modes & 20 Intensity Levels

I've been using this device for a couple of months now and it has really helped with my lower back pain due to muscle spasms. It works much better and is much more versatile than the TENS units I have purchased in the past at drug stores, and it's not that much more expensive, so it's definitely been worth the extra cost. I really like the many stimulation mode choices (although there are only two or three that work best for my pain and that I use regularly), and I like the fact that you can set both the stimulation time and the force. It's also great to have electrical muscle stimulation modes as well as TENS modes. EMS is like getting a back massage and has been really helpful for me. The package comes with three different size electrode pads--I use the two large ones for my back and my daughter has used the two medium ones on her abdomen to treat menstrual pain (with TENS) and it worked for that, too. So far, I haven't used both channels (4 electrode pads) at once, but you could do that too if you needed to cover a larger area. Other things I like about this system: the hand-held controller lets you actually see what you're doing when you set the mode and force (with the other TENS units I've had, the controller part was attached to the electrode pad so I had to reach back blindly to adjust the force), and the rechargeable battery is nice as well, although once I tried to use the device and it didn't work because the battery was dead, so you have to remember to plug it in and recharge it. I just plug it in for several hours after each use now. Since I've only had it for a short time, I can't speak to durability, but from what I've experienced thus far, I give it five stars.

Unit seems to work as advertised... No issues as of yet. Have tried a couple of different programs. Touch screen is good.... Not too sensitive, but is a sensitive enough. I like this unit a lot and no complaints.... Being rechargeable means that I don't have to replace batteries as often, but the downside to that is that it is not a field replaceable battery, meaning either send it back for replacement, or replace the entire unit... I am figuring 2 years on the battery, if it last that long, it is about time to get it replaced. One difference I did not is that my Older Analog unit is much stronger... Where 50% is plenty on the analog, the new Digital unit is about 70 to 90% for the same usage... Do not take that comment as a negative, it does what it is supposed to do and does so very well... My older unit may be just a little too old!

I had total knee replacement 3 weeks ago and had asked my PT about a home EMS unit. He directed me to Amazon and said to pick one that I liked. I reviewed a dozen or so TENS/EMS units and decided that I definitely wanted on that had a rechargeable battery and that was my main requirement going in. I had concerns about the strength of the stimulation and the placement of the pads; but I was really leary of the wide variance in price. Many times, "you get what you pay for". This unit is on the low end of the price range, but it performs wonderfully. There are 12 different settings to pick from that offer different sensations. I have picked out my favorite two for my regular treatment and I am experimenting on different muscles, as I notice soreness, and different settings as I get used to the unit. I could not be happier with this system. It is straight forward and easy to use, even for my wife who is technology challenged, and uses the lowest possible intensity level possible. At therapy, I have them turn the intensity all the way up and then wish there were more. With this TENS unit, I keep it under half intensity and can mix and match the stimulation. The only recurring complaint I noticed in the reviews is that amount of time allowed for non-use of the screen is too short. The back light goes dark way too soon. These complaints are absolutely valid. However, touching the screen brings it back pretty easily, with practice. I don't normally give reviews, but I do highly recommend this product.

This device is mostly used for rehabilitation, pain relief, or muscle recovery. The muscle stimulator is easy to operate. With its customizable settings you are able to adjust the intensity levels. Which means you can adjust from mild pulse for recovery to a strong contraction that can help one build strength over time. The machine efficient, no. Invasive, and definitely deliver real results that leaves you feeling more energized, less sore, and more in tune with your body….
