It's a portable ultrasound for home use, not a Tens Unit.
I severed my knee ligaments in the 1970s and a physical therapist treated me with ultrasound therapy. The units used by physical therapists are stronger than the home units.
The pain I've experienced from my rotator cuff tear is about a 5 on a scale of 10.
While it's worked for me, it may not be right for you or your injury.
You can go to Duck Duck Go, click on the AI option and ask about portable ultrasound machines for home use - reduce pain and inflammation.
There maybe a physical therapist or health care professional in your area who offers ultrasound therapy, where you can get a treatment and see if it works for you.
