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

This unit gave me the relief I needed throughout the day to keep me going. I haven’t been diagnosed with Piriformis Syndrome, however, I have been experiencing a tight piriformis that I’ve been getting massaged out, TENS’d, Heat Therapy and adjusted at the Chiropractic Center here locally. Those visits were weekly or bi-weekly and felt the need for relief during the week. I ended up researching TENS Units, and this one I felt could be discreet and have the power I need to assist with relief. I took a chance, even with some of the negative reviews. Immediately after apply and running the unit I felt relief. Relief I felt I received from the therapy I am receiving at my chiropractic center. I had begun, before using this, experiencing numbness radiating down the right side of my thigh to my right foot. It was more annoying than anything. For the first two weeks of using I put two pads on/near my piriformis. I work at a Bank so I would put my work clothes on and could easily hide the cord and the unit has a clip that I could clip to my pants. Every two hours I turned it on for the 60 minutes max time limit. I had no more pain or annoyance. After further self research, I found that my sitting posture was affecting my piriformis. I had always made sure I was sitting up with my chair in the highest setting (height), and that I was sitting on the edge of my seat. (Idk why I did this). I found relief lowering my chair, my desk at work (it’s adjustable), where my knees are in alignment with my hips. I haven’t had any numbness since changing this posture. However, I continue to use the TENS 7000 on achy muscles, on my piriformis if I am doing a lot of walking or yard work. I am actually getting ready to purchase new pads. The package came with 4 and I’ve noticed that the pads are getting less sticky - they still stick, but purchasing more to have on hand. I’ve already had to replace the battery but I got several hours of relief before having to do that. This product actually gave me hope! I was about to start asking for either Botox or Cortisone shots for relief.

My husband and I have previously owned several other 7000 model TENS machines of this brand, both of which still work, but are about 12 years old now and are getting a bit worn out, so we decided to purchase a new one. This new edition of model 7000 is essentially the same in the way it looks externally and how it functions as the older version, so if you are replacing a worn-out 7000 model, this upgraded version will not confuse you with unnecessary changes in its interface. What is different is that the manufacturer has added some helpful new options for settings, the most significant to me, and the only one that Ive opted to try out so far, is that if you choose to go to sleep using this TENS unit, it will turn itself off after about an hour, which the previous model did not do. This is an excellent feature because it spares the battery, which saves the user money because 9-volt batteries are not cheap. This device comes with a set of leads and 4 electrodes as a complete starter kit. The electrodes lasted me a total usage time of about 6 to 7 hours before they wore out. That is not in my experience a terrific amount of time for TENS electrodes to last. Ive had other brands of electrodes that fit both this model and my older model of this TENS machine which have lasted a total of about 9 or 10 hours. Note that if you use this machine at all frequently, you will want to immediately order some more electrodes so you wont run out. The 4 electrodes included in this kit is not a lot. The basic principle of how this TENS machine functions, via mild electrical stimulation of muscles, is no different from any other TENS machine. This is good news because this particular brand is quite reasonably priced at the lower end of the scale of cost for TENS machines. All TENS machines are extremely helpful for relieving muscle pain. And for people who suffer from fibromyalgia, in particular, this home therapy is far more effective and a lot safer than taking dangerous prescription drugs with terrible side effects, such as Lyrica. As another example of utilizing this TENS machine rather than relying on dangerous prescription pain drugs, I recently have endured an excruciating bout of shingles, and this TENS unit has been a lifesaver in helping me to bear the terrible pain. It doesnt so much as directly turn off the burning, electric-shock, neuropathic pain that is such a devastating feature of shingles, and which anti-inflammatory OTC medications and prescription opioids are ineffective at controlling. Instead, in my experience, it works to distract the brain from experiencing the neuropathic pain of shingles either entirely, or mutes the pain to a bearable level. As such, it can simultaneously act not only as a form of temporary pain relief, but functions as a crucial tool to help prevent the development of postherpetic neuralgia. Note that TENS should be an adjunct treatment, and not a replacement for the antiviral, prescription drug prescribed for shingles which, to be effective, must be taken within 72 hours of the outbreak of the first set of blisters from the shingles rash. Sadly, statistically, this drug has only a 50-50 chance of mitigating a shingles attack, preventing a future attack, and preventing postherpetic neuralgia. When it comes to preventing the terrible curse of postherpetic neuralgia, its important, therefore, to have as many options as possible on the table. This TENS option is so inexpensive, and so completely safe, that one essentially has nothing to lose by using it as an adjunct to taking the antiviral medication. Doctors who specialize in the treatment of chronic pain have indicated that a main reason for the development of chronic pain, after the original cause of the pain has been healed in the body, is that dysfunctional neural pathways have become established when pain lasts longer than 8 to 12 weeks after the original cause of the pain has been healed. This is the point at which doctors will change the diagnosis of the pain from acute to chronic. Utilizing a TENS unit can help prevent those dysfunctional pathways from becoming entrenched. And if one already has long-established chronic pain, using a TENS unit can be a way to help retrain those dysfunctional pathways. I also believe that, given that using a TENS unit like this one is helpful for the nerve pain of shingles, which is a disease caused by the chicken pox virus which damages nerves, that TENS might also potentially be an excellent, inexpensive and convenient home remedy for the mitigation and potential outright healing of other types of chronic, neuropathic pain as well, if the pain is the type that is post-trauma, rather than pain from ongoing, uncontrolled disease. But even in the case of the latter, a TENS unit can be an excellent adjunct therapy when dangerous prescription drugs are doing an ineffective job at alleviating the devastating suffering caused by neuropathic pain.

Ordered this as an Amazon favorite and it did not disappoint. Easy to use and very powerful. Love the hard shell case.

I recently purchased this TENS unit for my back pain and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I particularly love the simplicity of this device and the analog dials make it easy to adjust the intensity of the stimulation. The controls are straightforward and intuitive, making it easy to use. The unit is compact and portable, so I can take it with me on the go. I highly recommend this TENS unit to anyone looking for a reliable and effective way to manage their back pain.

The unit is easy to use and is just what I needed for my back pain. The pads lasted me about ten uses which is a little more than I expected. Very happy with my purchase!

I have disc issues and a shoulder that I had a surgery on. I am away from home for several months while my husband has a bone marrow transplant to fight leukemia. So, I have a lot of stress and anxiety in my life right now & it felt like I had tons of knots in my neck, and shoulders & I couldnt get relief no matter what I did. I have a tens unit at home, but I had forgot to pack it. So, I order this one & it arrived very fast and was very easy to use and it did the trick. It saved me from being miserable for the rest of our stay. I would recommend this to anyone needing relief from this kind of pain.

I never give reviews but this deserves one. I have a torn tapezius and 4 slipped discs in my neck. Only time I had some pain relief was when my chiropractor put me on that machine, but I cant see him every day. This is the equivalent of said machine. I was skeptical at first and read the reviews. So glad I bought this!

Made very well, easy to use

Size of unit and functionality of unit

I normally do not write reviews on the products I buy but I felt this was one that people like myself needs help when buying. Please read entire review! The reason i got one was because my physical therapist told me I should get one for home use. They use them on me as part of my PT. There was 2 unit that was recommended to me from a completely different website which I did go to. Both units were the Tens name brand the 2000 model which is analog model exactly same as the digital 7000 model just analog is the only difference she said along with price. I choose to go with the 7000 but before buying I wanted to check with Amazon to see if they had it and to my amazing surprise they did have the Tens 7000 unit and ao so many more they had so many to choose from that I hesitate in buying, i actually had about 3 picked out i googled top and best rated units ofcourse each website has different view points as to which unit is best and why. Some are just tens units and some are TENS and EMS units so I thought well maybe i should get one of those its close to same price, and some of those say they have massage like levels that would be cool, so i held off until my next PT appointment and I asked ok out of these which should i get and they looks and said honestly I understand why you were put back with all the different units and reasins but still their is no way these pads could ever come close to giving you close to a massage like feel, just not possible while it might feel good its not gonna feel like the massage types they are saying, second the TENS 7000 we know for fact is medically proven and tested and has been approved for medical grade use for even us to be able to use in our patient which is why it was recommended the first time, I think i would still stick with that, but its your money by all means get the one you feel the most comfortable about getting. So I by all means followed my PT adviced and ordered the TENS7000 from Amazon as soon as I got back out to my car, my biggest hold up on that unit was that I did see that you could use any of the electrode pads larger than 2 x2 with that unit, but you can, as long as as it the same connection type matter fact my PT gave me a pack to tryof 2 x 4, and they work, using them as i write this review, and i also ordered some through Amazon, i just typed in Tens Electrodes 2x4 pads and they came right up right connections and all.. these pads are great size for back, if you have wide spread back paid, box in the area that hurts. Such as most your back, so place 2 pads at the 2 top corners and again 2 bottom corners and it will cover the entire area inbetween per my PT and guess what it works, everything inbetween gets worked.. another concern was it only taking a 9 volt battery was it gonna be string enough, wow was I shocked... I couldnt handle over a 3 and it goes all the way up to 8, so I would say YES it has more than plenty of power to handle your pain level. Cause i have some serious pain with a compressed fracture from a auto accident, plus I had back pain before that. So dont over look the power this unit has thinking you can find better. I couldnt tell you if you can find better, but i do know there is no need is speeding more more money on other costly units when this unit had a might punch to put out. You will not be disappointed. It is lightweight, compact, smaller than my cell phone to carry for easy on the go use. The only down size is the battery isnt rechargeable but that is a very easy fix but getting a rechargeable battery system thats good to use with any product you have that takes a 9 volt not just this device.. thanks for reading my review,this is the 2st one I bv have EVER written, you cant go wrong with this unit..
