> 24 hourBased on another reviewer’s advice I chose this model over the one utilizing AAA batteries, and I am extremely happy I did so. This unit, which runs on a single 9V battery is working much more effectively than even my best home-made versions. Having eaten dozens of honey-coated watch batteries of various sizes, rigging motorcycle batteries with the leads from digital ohm meters, and licking both 110 and European sockets with few beneficial results, this contraption is a real time saver, if even just no longer making weekly trips to Radio Shack for miscellaneous capacitors, transistors, etc. While the lead-core fly fishing line coils connected to a type 31 marine battery did indeed provide some minor neck relief, lugging the 75 pound battery proved to be somewhat inconvenient, especially on bowling night. Enter the TENS 7000 (I realize this sounds a lot like an ad for an upcoming Terminator movie, but that’s really what they call it) Having suffered some extreme issues stemming from the fact I have disks pinching my spine to nearly 100% closed off (I swear I’m not making that up) along with the fact I was born quite young, chiropractors and physical therapists have been a major part of my life for well over 30 years now. While many of them claim it was their manipulations which cured many a stiff joint or mis-aligned spine, I know from experience that TENS therapy truly works wonders. It truly does. With the exception of the time the doc’s assistant came in to turn the rapid-sine machine “off” and accidently turned it from power “2” to “Well Done” and having to peel me off the ceiling, TENS has provided much needed relief from massive muscle spasms in my lower and upper back; eliminated stiffness in my neck; reduced swelling in my neck; as well as made me a very rich man. Well maybe not that last one, but it’s not too late. Anyone who spends time at the chiro knows the joy of TENS therapy, but we also know the disappointment of feeling the power shut down just when it’s starting to feel like it’s working! Sure the doc has other patients in line, but we’re paying for US to get relief- let them wait! With your very own TENS machine at home, there IS no wait, and better yet, as long as you’ve got batteries, there is NO LIMIT to how long you can cook yourself to pain free!! (Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. I do have much experience as a PATIENT, and offer only my personal opinion stemming from that experience. If you have a serious problem, please consult a doctor or your local Salvation Army for proper assistance) I read about others who run their TENS constantly, and at full power- setting 8- and achieving good results. Let me tell you, I can take a LOT of pain, and I am running this 9V model at just below power level 3, and it is making my shoulder spaz out so much it resembles Kanye West at a Golden Globes ceremony. I am using my new TENS to relieve a frozen shoulder; after just 30 minutes of low-intensity therapy using the various modes I was actually able to lift my arm over my head for the first time in nearly a year. I swear I’m not making that up. I do firmly suggest that you DO NOT use the unit constantly however, as your body needs time to relax and “calm down” after a session, so based on my decades of experience I would say a total of 2 hours or so per day broken into 30-40 minute sessions will provide you with a quick idea of whether it will work for you or not. Others are obviously suffering different problems however, so you should consult with your doctor (or qualified airline stewardess) to determine what is right for you. That being said, I expect within the next week to be suffering from zero shoulder pain, no more back pain, and full restoration of my receding hairline. While this machine IS pretty cool, I doubt I’ll get down to my desired weight without having used it at least a month, and the cancer will probably require at least another after that. Good thing I also bought rechargeable batteries! The TENS machine is truly very sleek, and extremely well thought out. It is about the size of a walkman; unfortunately in fact, it resembles a walkman SO much that just this morning while out shopping I was hit with rocks by 2 young thugs who told me to “Grow up and join the digital age!” after spotting my TENS conveniently clipped to my Bermuda shorts. Another cool feature is that both the controls for the leads and the modular controls are each protected behind little doors, which prevent accidental changes to the settings while you move about. Very cool, as they are easy deal with when need be. The unit is also lightweight; I would barely know it’s there if it weren’t for the fact my face keeps changing shape as if I’m sticking my open mouth out the car window while traveling in excess of 90MPH on the highway. But darn, it feels so good. Overall I am extremely happy with this unit and wholeheartedly recommend it. Here are the Pros and Cons I have found so far: Pro: Surprisingly low cost VERY powerful Lightweight Attractive design May possibly double as a sex toy Variable modes, wide variety of outputs Easy to program and use Much more effective than string of holiday lights with tinsel replacing original bulbs then wrapped around body Con: Will only partially cook hot dogs at level 6; level 8 burns ends Easily mistaken for Walkman by local thugs Does not work after being pushed into uncovered cesspool May possibly double as a sex toy

> 24 hourMy physical therapist recommended this unit as this is the unit her class bought while attending PT school. Economical and has a case. Easy to understand use but if you have lower back issues like me, its extremely hard to put patches in correct places even with mirror, much less taking them off. In a pinch, I would recommend this unit due to ease of use and price.

> 24 hourOMG this is the best tens unit that I have ever purchased! The only thing is it uses a 9 V battery. However it does last a good time. This was recommended by doctors and I see why. It has really helped with my pain and I can continue with my day. It can even clip to your belt. It may not look good, but I do tell you for certain that you will never be disappointed! I highly recommend this product!

> 24 hourI had used one of these years ago and bought this because of my sciatic pain. Opened the box, easy to plug the cables in, slap on the sticky things in the spots that are bugging me and turned it on. It is the like getting a massage inside your body! Worth every penny and Ive only used it for 5 minutes.

> 24 hourIn 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.

> 24 hourI really like this device and like the traditional dial on the top and simple led screen. It’s easy to use and comes in a nice carrying case. It uses a 9v battery. I probably would have preferred rechargeable or doubleA battery option, but it’s not a big deal.

> 24 hourThis therapy was recommended by my doctor for nerve damaged tingling in my finger...and P.T. did it to just larger machine. This works well for purpose just make sure to read the instructions and I also looked up where to place the electrodes for the best relief for each finger that were numb. Start out on a low speed and increase as you tolerate...but some of the voltages take a few moments to referencing on type of waves your using. I do think for the price they could of given more than 4 electrode patches.
