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 highly recommend this TENS unit. My physical therapist uses this one and I figured her endorsement was a good enough reason to try it. After two months of regular use, Im not disappointed. Best one Ive tried. The last one I tried before this had a large display screen that cracked horribly the first time I dropped it, which meant I could no longer use many of the settings because I couldnt see them. Plus the electrodes would work intermittently even though it was brand new. On the other hand, Ive dropped my TENS 7000 unit *numerous* times on my hardwood floors due to clumsiness and weak hands from RA, and it still works perfectly. It doesnt have a big display screen, so theres not much that could crack. And the electrodes have worked reliably since day one. Another factor to consider is that on a lot of other units (including the last one I tried) you can accidentally bump the intensity dial or other settings, but on the TENS 7000 all the controls have covers over them so you dont surprise yourself by bumping the intensity up to some insane level and then panicking and scrambling to turn it down or off. The TENS 7000 has numerous signal pattern options for variety so your nerves dont adapt to a single monotonous pattern, and can be set to run for up to an hour at a time. It also has two different channels so you can use four electrodes at once if you want. It takes a 9V battery. When I use it ALL DAY, a battery will typically last me about 3-4 days, and thats actually a LOT of hours when you think about it. Most users dont run them for hours at a time. Tip: Its helpful to wipe the electrodes down with rubbing alcohol after every couple uses or so to remove any oils that can build up, which maintains signal clarity. For anyone who hasnt tried a TENS unit, they really do help with a lot of different types/sources of pain. They work by delivering electrical impulses which disrupt the pain signals being transmitted through nerves, including the sciatic nerve. Ive heard feedback from folks with various conditions that cause nerve pain who say they also get some relief from TENS units. Doesnt hurt to try. Besides interrupting nerve pain signals, Ive also found that the impulses can often get my spasming muscles to at least partially relax. When Im focused on the pain in my low back, Ill put an electrode on either side of my spine around L5. When sciatic pain (which I get on my right side) is bad, Ill put one electrode on the right side of my spine around L5-S1, and Ill put the other electrode further down the path of the sciatic nerve on my bum, wherever the pain is strongest in that area. That placement effectively interrupts/dulls the signal for me so that it lessens the intensity of the pain. Often it interrupts the pain signal enough that it only radiates partway down my leg, and on a good day it sometimes stops it from radiating much at all. Left uncontrolled, that pain can bring me to my knees in tears (not exaggerating), so anything that brings it into a tolerable range is hugely successful in my opinion. For me its helpful about 95% of the time. There are some days where I wear it from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, or sometimes even when I go to bed if the pain wont let up when I lay down. And Ill wear it when I run errands, or just any time Im doing anything that involves sitting, standing, or moving around. It latches onto to my pocket fairly securely with the built-in clip. I change the impulse pattern every hour when I restart it so my nerves dont adapt and become desensitized to the signal. One pair of electrodes will usually last through quite a few uses, and you can buy replacement electrodes in bulk on Amazon for a reasonable price. I paid $25 for a 48-pack (24 pairs) and I typically go through a couple pairs per week.

Ive had really bad lower back pain that resurfaced and is probably worse than it was a year ago. A year ago the physical therapist put me on a TENS device every visit and I feel it was a huge help. This go around I figured I would my own unit. I feel like this TENS 7000 Unit was better than one at the physical therapist. A few times I was able to max out the machine at the PT but this device Ive only been able to handle 50% power. ITS STRONG! I also love that I can adjust the different sides, pulses, frequencies etc... WELL WORTH THE MONEY and heres to HOPEFULLY some relieved back pain.

Everyone get one, it’s a pain saver

The heavy duty battery that is provided is meant to last only an hour max, which I dont understand but maybe Im missing something. Unfortunately, this one fell short. The battery that was included was already starting to corrode and was completely dead. Having to go out to buy a battery was an inconvenience. But once I replaced the battery it works well, so far.

I needed something to help my back, nothing was helping me with the pain & a friend loaned me her Tens machine just like this one, it was almost instant relief so I had to get one for myself. I love it!

Ive heard of tens units and Ive definitely heard mixed reviews from people that have had them administered both professionally and at home with units like this and people either love it or hate it and I can only assume it boils down to the Proficiency in using the machine, as in how well you can place it and how well you understand how to use the machine and also what the root of your pain is. I cant speak for the people that hate it but for me personally I wish I had tried this thing years ago because works it perfectly for me. I have a spinal injury that will never heal and because of that the muscles around my spine are constantly overtight, I would have to get about five massages a week just to keep them relaxed and chill and often times I have a very hard time bending over to pick things up off the floor or even getting up out of chairs because it hurts so bad but I can put this on, two pads on each side of my spine just a few inches away from it because bear in mind you dont need to put any tens unit over your spine or joints, but after sitting in a chair with this on for 30 minutes I dont feel any relief while the unit is on but just a few short minutes after the 30 minute session is over and I pull the pads off my pain level changes for the better drastically, like if I couldnt bend over before I sat down and used this now I can bend over just fine after the treatment. This is definitely not a permanent solution because pain is your bodys way of telling you that something is wrong and until you fix the problem pain is never going to go away but that being said this definitely grants some temporary relief. For me Im good with using this about once a day unless I get out and do a lot of activity that requires bending and twisting then I may pop it on for a second time at the end of the day. I was skeptical of the reusability of the pads because usually you just toss sticky pads away after one use but I have used this unit with the same pads on several times now and they are still sticking exactly like theyre supposed to. I dont know how many more uses I will get out of them so I ordered some replacement pads but Im pretty impressed with how well they have held up so far. Also they dont leave a big gooey mess on you like the electrode sticky pads for an EKG or some other medical testing tend to do. I hate trying to scrub glue off of my skin and on the very first day that I used these they left a tiny bit of residue on my skin but it came right off with a washcloth and since then Ive not had any residue left behind at all. If youre in pain and youre hesitating to buy this because you dont know if it will work just go ahead and do it, I mean its Amazon if you try it and you dont like it send the thing back you know? Worst case scenario you wasted a little bit of your time if it doesnt work for you best case scenario you actually get some pain relief and for those of us who have been living with constant pain daily for years upon years that is something you cant put a price on

This is amazing for helping relieve back and neck pain. It was great on Menasha cramps. Its tiny and might not be fancy but it works great!

I am using this for neuropathy in my feet. I cant tell if it helps yet but it certainly cant hurt. The only problem is batteries dont last long. After 30 days, it quit working and of course, I cant return it now. *** I am upgrading my review because it may be the pads that need to be replaced. I will see. Sorry.

Its works so great I take it to work with me. Awesome product
