Has anyone tried the TENS machine for pain?

Love, love mine for lower back pain.

I use mine almost daily for Left Upper Quadrant pain of unknown origin. I have also used it on knee pain. I have 3 types of units. If you would like specific models and makes let me know. The units literally make a nonfunctional day into bearable or often calms the pain enough to be able to move, work, walk.

Thanks, I have a Health Herald. It is a cheaper brand but sends a strong stimulus. I am not really getting a lot of relief. I am looking at a Dr.Ho but they are about $200. Any advice will be appreciated.

I got my tens unit through a catalogue no more then 30.00 I've had it for 10 yrs works fine Stimulates several areas of body ,you can adjust the amount of stimulatation you can stand Carol Wright I think it was

The one I use is by OMRON. It is wireless and come with two sizes. One for my back and one I use for my knee. It is connected to my cell phone via blue tooth and is incredible. Check it out at Amazon. I highly recommend it!

Mine is from prospera no cell oh e required ,you can put it on ,waist,shoulderjoints,hand-foot,sold and repeat it user-generated knead you can switch while it's on love it 10yrs have had it.

TENS stimulates the nerves – the rationale being that the simulation keeps pain signals from reaching the brain
EMS causes the muscles to contract – by mimicking the action potential that comes from the central nervous system I THINK EMS IS STRONGER?

@mari, thank you for the added information on TENS machines. I moved your post in to a recent discussion on tens machines to be part of the active and recent discussion on TENS units. @mari, do you have experience with either a TENS or EMS?

I have both TENS and EMS - they both work. Got mine long ago for $700. Mine has rechargeable batteries - Great!
