NueMedics Rechargeable Muscle Stimulator Device with 10 Pads

Easy to work, small enough to carry in ur bag. I’m using for tennis elbow and the tens machine helps tremendously. Also has EMS capability which helps heal the muscle.

I ordered the Tens Unit Machine Pulse Massager to continue working on my leg muscles while I'm going to a chiropractor. They use a commercial grade one on my legs twice a week while I'm in therapy and it works pretty well. This little device feels exactly the same as the unit they use on me in the office. Although the controller itself looks like a smart phone, it definitely isn't. It's a little cheap looking and not the most intuitive interface, but for the money it does a good job.

This thing pumps man. You'll feel like a robot. In a good way. Great if you have muscle pain, but especially neuro-muscular pain. Nervous system dysfunction.

This is my first time using a TENS unit per doctors orders. I am rather impressed by the pulse strength for the size of the thing. It is small like a cell phone and can fit in your pocket. It doesn’t take long to figure out if you use the QR code to get to the YouTube video. There are lots of different settings that provide slightly different current patterns. They have two paper guide for suggestions where to place the pads for optimal therapy. I will warn to be mindful where you place the pads. Maybe because I’m a newbie, but the pads are very sticky and any hair that was there, may not be when the pads are taken off. Ouch! The timer feature worked but I kind of wish it could be more flexible. It has a few set times you can set it to but I wish it allowed us to set to whatever time we wanted.

Honestly can't believe this thing is only $40. Bought my first of three of these several years ago, and the only reason they broke is because I stepped directly on one accidentally and then fell asleep on the other so many times that my body weight bent where the wires connect. But because it's basically the price of lunch for two, replacing it every couple years because of my own negligence feels like a fair price to pay IMO. I was first made aware of this when a physio told me about it while helping me deal with a ruptured disc in my lower back. When I first got it, I was blown away by the sheer power of it. It's roughly the size of smart phone, yet it really packs a punch if you crank it up all the way. Products like foam density rollers or massage chairs don't even come close to what this thing can do. The fact that you can up the strength very incrementally is also super helpful, since your muscles will naturally loosen as you use it and are able to handle a higher setting. I also really appreciate the number of settings it has – I use "KNEAD" and "ACU" most frequently as they feel the most like a deep tissue massage to me. If you're like me and had never used something like this before, it'll feel a bit like you're wiring a bomb the first time you use it. It uses two sets of red and black wires (two coming out of each port), for a total of four wires that connect to four sticky pads, which you obviously stick to your body. How you arrange these four sticky pads is key, and will take a bit of trial and error before you work out exactly where you want them (you'll likely figure this out within the first 30 minutes to an hour of using it in my experience). Long story short, you'll want to use the pads to create a rectangle around the area that creates a problem, and cross the wires so that one set is connected to the lower left and upper right pads, and the other to the lower right and upper left pads (it's easier to work out than it probably sounds). The closer you place the pads on your body and the smaller you make the rectangle, the more intense the therapy will be when you crank it up. Creating a bigger rectangle will allow you to cover a bigger area on your body, but it will be slightly less intense as you crank it up. Another thing I really appreciate about this thing is that replacement pads and wires are incredibly cheap. The pads last a long time, but eventually the stickiness wears off and they'll need to be replaced. The wires also eventually need to be replaced, but they're cheap as well. Another thing I really love about this unit is how infrequently and how briefly you need to charge the battery. I feel like I only charge it for about 10 minutes and it's fully charged, and usually use it several times before I even remember to charge it and it still has plenty of battery. They even go so far as to include different size and shapes of pads for you to play around with as you figure out what works best for you (including a pair of heart shaped ones attached to a cute thank you note). All told, this thing has been a real life saver for me over the years, and I don't throw that around lightly. Sometimes the ruptured disc in my back is so bad I can't really stand straight, but using this for even just 20 minutes usually at least loosens up the surrounding muscles enough where I don't look like a pretzel when I stand up. I should've left a review years ago, but it didn't dawn on me until I was using this thing today that doing so might help a prospective buyer in the future. I have no idea if the folks from NueMedics get around to reading these reviews, but if so...thank you so much for making my life a less painful existence. I really can't thank you enough.
