Thank you! My Pain Management Dr recommend a TENS unit to me. I got mine a couple days ago and it’s been “ok-good”. I read the instruction booklet. Nowhere did it mention the cross-cross placement. I’m treating chronic low back pain, and when my husband crisscrossed them on my back for me today it made SUCH a difference! It is now a solid good+ for helping me manage my pain.

The TENS unit she is using is the TENS AA. Both the TENS AA and the Ultima U5 are FDA and GSA approved and a prescription is normally required by a physician. The pulse width and pulse rate on these prescription required units are adjustable while over the counter consumer units are not adjustable. The beauty of these units is they use inexpensive AA batteries which are easy to find and have more capacity than the retail over the counter units that use more expensive multiple AAA or 9V batteries which also has less capacity.

I used a TENS on my pinky after I tore the nerve while exercising and it had no feeling for 3 months. I could use it and to precise articulation since I'm a symphonic and shred guitarist, but I couldn't feel the strings! Finally, I stuck an acupuncture needle in the tip of my pinky and a patch on the palm and after about 2 1/2 weeks, my pinky was 100% healed. *Now, to say it HURT is an understatement! lmao, but after the first session I had some feeling back so I just suffered through it and it's been fine for 4+ years.* Currently, I have a torn sciatic nerve that's had my leg 1/2 limp for the last 2 years and am now resorting to extreme measures to heal it. *I went through this 18 years ago and literally had to run up the steepest long hills I could find, but it knitted the nerve back together.* It took a few years, but I was 100% after about 4-5. *Unfortunately, I retore it 2 years ago in July and am now just finally seeing significant progress.* I use the TENS every single day and will be running up long steep hills again soon for as long as it takes. *This 2nd time around with this injury was just too much for me to bear mentally due to a lot of other tragic circumstances.* In the end, you're no use to anyone including yourself if you aren't healthy.

Few additional points. 1) When you remove the sticky pads, do not remove them by pulling them off by holding the cable from the electrode as you are likely to damage the wire. 2) Batteries loose their power after repeated use, and you may find you are turning the power levels higher to compensate. At this point, you should think about changing the batteries. 3) When you are walking around with the unit connected, be careful not to catch the electrode cables and damage them. 4) Always start the program ensuring the power levels are set to minimum, and the electrodes are in situ.

TENS is for pain management and EMS is for muscle stimulation. They are basically the same type machines except for an EMS the Pulse Width has to be able be to go above 200uS to 400uS so the muscle has a longer contradiction time. Most non prescription retail over the counter units will say massager because they Pulse Rate and Pulse Width cannot be adjusted and only preset programs/modes are available. A combination unit like the PTM Ultima COMBO will act as both a TENS and EMS unit for just a few dollars more.

@@fredminpin Actually the PTM Ultima U5 or TENS AA are one of the few units that is approved by the FDA and Veterans Affairs that are used by chiropractors and in hospitals, they are also the standard units that are issued to military veterans. The important thing is that they use two standard AA batteries that are inexpensive and available everywhere instead of using multiple AAA or expensive 9V batteries that are often seen in other retail units costing anywhere from twice to fifty times more. As for ease of usage these units they are no more complicated then consumer units, but are more versatile because you can manually adjust the PR and PW for some of the pre-programmed modes. The PTM Ultima COMBO is one of the best choices you can make for the money that is both a TENS and EMS unit for under $50usd they also the most powerful units outputting 150mA or power whereas most consumer units output only 80-130mA !

This refers to the way the pulse of electricity is delivered to the electrodes. Tapping produces short sharp pulses, vibration produces a long series of pulses, kneading produces a series of pulses that increase in intensity and feel like they are 'massaging' the area. Program options are pre-defined pulse formation options. Pulses are delivered to the electrodes by their frequency, their width and their intensity.

Hi, I used this Natures Gate TENS machine, but I use more pro machines now, but the power level is basically what's comfy for you, a strong sensation on the skin is a good indicator. but what they don't mention is the frequencies are a major part, 1-100hz and your in the Pain Gate area. Above 100--150mhz is endorphin realise. Plus the electrode bandwiths play a good part, don't have it of the 250us setting pull it down so its focused around 90-110us this again is Pain Gate area, 110-250us is endorphin release. My advice is set the frequency to 60-70mhz and bandwidth of 110us, this will give you Pain Gate control, which it think will help you best, and with this machine its far more comfy on the skin. but the harder Tapping will really help with pain control. make sure the electrodes surround the painful area in a square shape as best as possible. I hope this helps you..
