AUVON Dual Channel TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator Machine with 20 Modes, 2 and 2x4 TENS Unit Electrode Pads

My physical therapist recommended this to help with carpal tunnel. Only problem is I can only use the lowest setting without feeling pain. I’ve gotten to the point where I have tolerance for a higher voltage, but the next level up is too much. I wish there was an in between, I just can’t find anything that shows the actual voltage, not generic levels of intensity. I also would like an option for a constant current, not just the pulsating or wave-like function. It has been helping however with the pain so I’m giving it 4 stars, would like to see these features in a product however.

Perfecto

A remarkable device for my sciatica (lower back and thigh pain). From the first use, pain was greatly diminished. Very flexible and easy to use. A very powerful unit and one I absolutely recommend. I however have learned several lessons from 3 weeks of use. They are: • Read the manual fully before using. I only read enough to get started and had an accidental incident (described below). • Start with the lowest settings. I found an intensity of 3 or 4 (out of up to 20) to be what was most effective at reducing pain. Higher intensity settings were painful and did little more to reduce pain long-term. • For larger muscle groups, use larger 2”X4” pads. Smaller pads give a sharper stimulation and don’t impact the entire muscle group. The smaller 2”X2” pads are fine for smaller, thin muscle groups. • Pre-warm pads. Placing them on without doing so, feels like an ice pack being slapped onto your muscle, causing it to tense up. • Pads really adhere to the skin. With the initial use, they removed all leg hair that they were placed over. Removing them was quite uncomfortable (like being waxed). I’d recommend shaving any hairy area the pads will be placed on (the hair will be gone either way). • NEVER…I repeat NEVER connect a pad you’re wearing to the device without verifying the on/off switch is in the off position! I had one pad lead disconnect to the unit. I thought the unit had auto shut off. I didn’t verify it was in the off position and went to plug the lead back in. It was like being hit with a bolt of lightning or kicked by a mule! The capacitor must have built up a charge and let it all go into my leg when the connection was made. I surely will not make that mistake again! • In bed I found myself falling asleep after a few minutes of stimulation. Although it says not to sleep with the stim going, it was the only thing that allowed me to fall asleep. If used this way, shorten the timer to 10 minutes or less as the leads can disconnect with movement.

I dont know if it helps with my back pain but it sure feels good when I use it.

I purchased this unit after rotator cuff surgery-it worked great! It came fully charged so I didnt realize the USB cord was missing when I opened the box. When I couldnt find it later and wasnt able to purchase a compatible cord elsewhere, I contacted the company. Even though it was after 30 days, I received a response within 24 hours and had the cord a few days later. Kudos to them!

I have lower spine disk degeneration which is causing great pain. The Tens unit helps a lot. From not being able to walk to being able to walk. Do not know how it works but it helps my back and it helped my knees when they were replaced 10 yrs ago. This is a good product and you should give it a try.

This unit is a pleasure to own. It works as advertised, is well constructed and easy to use, and the cost is very reasonable. If you plan to purchase this unit, buy additional large pads at the same time because if you dont clean them with alcohol swabs they quickly lose adhesion. I had no success with the small pads. Highly recommended.

Pains meds make my heart race, so this is a relief. I can put these on and am less stressed because I dont worry about side effects. Easy to use. Easy to carry.

For the price, this is a great device. I had shoulder pain for 2 days and used this and it alleviated it quite a bit!

Unit has many features and works well. Directions are easy to follow. Highly recommend.
