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

I initially bought this product to help my husband with some deep tissue neck/shoulder pain. He did not like it, it did not help. But when my teenage son and nephews got a hold of it they had a blast... so I guess its a win.

Great love it small enough to fit in my purse and travel with me.

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.

I 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.

My Chiropractic uses this so I got my own and it really helps.

This is the absolute BEST TENS unit! We purchased a unit like this about 15 years ago from our chiropractor, but lost it in a move. We bought 2 others - not nearly as nice as this one, and not anywhere as powerful. After our 2nd cheaper replacement unit broke, we started looking again for a unit similar to the one we had from our chiropractor, and found this one. We (husband, son, myself) use this unit several times a week and its amazing. Every setting you could want is customizable & adjustable. I *love* the lengthier time setting (1 hour), compared to the 15 minutes on the other units we had. I also love that you can use either 2 electrodes or 4 electrodes, and you can set each pair to different programs (either in the same body area or a completely different area of the body!) TENS units are such a great adjunct therapy for pain relief or for helping with muscle soreness or as a distraction or neurostimulator/overload. I honestly cannot say enough good things about having a TENS unit. This unit does come with some excellent manuals and educational materials, which I would *highly recommend!* reading thoroughly before using a TENS unit, to both understand how to use your unit, but also understand the correct placement of electrodes for maximum safety and therapy relief.

Works well. Relieves pain. A little difficult to place electrodes on myself for maximum effectiveness

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.

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!!!!

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year. With the medications I have taken for the symptoms the worst of the pain and stiffness has been mostly absent until about a week ago. Last week I woke up with a very stiff back, shoulders, neck, bottom, and hips that was unrelated to any exercise or injury. Increasing my medications helped lessen the pain and stiffness (muscle relaxer) but it was a very difficult week. My sleeping was also very bad and my fitness tracking watch recorded very poor or even worse sleep for the whole week. Anyways I did some research for ways to help this and found that TENS could help with my symptoms. I purchased this device and received it yesterday. Since then I have used it 5 to 7 times for 20 to 25 minutes on different areas of my back. I use it between level 3 and level 4 with normal mode and default settings but adjusted the time to 20 to 25 minutes. On every place I used it the pain and stiffness is either reduced by a large extent or totally eliminated. The medications I take dont do that. They only provide a temporarily reduction in pain and stiffness. I am very impressed in how well this works. My only negative is the case on my TENS7000 does not have the plastic part that is supposed to latch so the case does not lock closed in the closed position. This appears to be a defect in the manufacturing of my case. Its not a terrible thing but at the moment I kept the plastic outer bag to make sure the items dont fall out of the case. I would normally subtract 1 from my rating for such a problem but the device works so well I can give this a pass..
