A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit is used to help reduce pain and increase circulation. Basically the vibration of the TENS follows the same pathway as the pain does to the brain and helps cancel it out. Purchase a CUH TENS Unit: www.askdoctorjo.com/tens-unit-...

Hi Dr. I had physical therapy last year in South Korea. I have knee tendonitis and a baker's cyst. I had heat and tens therapy. The pads were a bit different, they were more like suction cups instead of the peel off that you show on the video. Anyway I'm back in the States and my knee is hurting again. Do you recommend this machine or an ultrasound one? Thanks

If you are looking more for pain relief, a TENS would probably be better.

I use the TENS 7000 for pain relief because I do EXTREMELY well with pain meds, which turns into addiction REAL QUICK! Be very careful with opiate pain meds because they can make ANYONE dependent upon them and then eventually addicted to them so when you stop taking, you get very sick and makes anxiety levels go through the roof. Took me over 7 years to get clean from an addiction that started from an injury. Be safe and God Bless!

@jacket5456 5 ай бұрын

Same, I'm an addict. I was worried, with my new found back pain, I would have to start taking Kratom again. This is helping massively and I've only been using it for 5 minutes.

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.

Also, I broke my clavicle and had surgery to put it back together with plates. The plates are now removed but because my clavicle is now a bit shorter, I had a lot of stiffness in the area particularly in the fascia surrounding it. Would you be able to recommend the setting and trigger points to help that area? Any help would be much appreciated.

USING OPIODS MASKS THE PAIN AND YOU REALLY CANT TELL IF THE TENS MACHINE OR ESPECIALLY YOUR EXERCISES ARE HELPING YOU OR NOT. I ENDED UP HAVING BACK SURGERY BUT A YEAR BEFORE THAT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO STOP 90% OF THE PAIN WITH REGULAR BACK EXERCISES. IT TAKES TIME BUT THEY WORK. 16 YEARS AFTER MY BACK SURGERY I HAVE NOT HAD ANY BACK PROBLEMS AT ALL. I ADMIT I HAVE TO WATCH WHAT I AM DOING AND STRENGTHENING MY BACK AND CORE WAS PARAMOUNT. AND I REALIZE THAT SOMETIMES PAIN MEDS ARE NECESSARY BUT TRY TO NOT RELY ON THEM. GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Hi Dr.Jo, thank you for your video. I just purchased a unit that has 4 ports. 2 can be configured for TENS and 2 for EMS simultaneously. So I have lots of options for simultaneous muscle groups. My main purpose TENS is pain relief for an L3 extricated hernia and EMS for legs, abs and arms during my long inactivity process. My question is, what combination TENS - EMS muscle groups would you recommend simultaneosly. And more importantly how long should I use for each function on a daily basis. I have options from 10 to 90 minute sessions. Many thanks in advance for your shared experience.
