Hi Hank, Chris, do you think a tens unit could achieve the same result? Just wondering. Helen

Hi Helen. I actually don't know. The massager vibrates the area where the itch occurs and seems to satisfy the nerve's desire for stimulation, but without the harm to the tissue that scratching causes. Plus the vibration goes beneath the surface and into the flesh under the skin rather than just affecting the skin itself. That's about the sum total of what I know about what it does. Best, Hank

Hi, Helen @helennicola and Hank (@fesfactsman........do you use tens unit, Helen? I used a tens unit for my back (35 yrs ago). It wasn't much good then but I was close to the tolerance limit for surgery. Maybe I should try it again. Think they might have improved in 35 years...huh? Please make a recommendation and I will let Santa know it is on my list.

May you have peace and ease.
Chris
