tens unit

[Guest guest]

In response to your question regarding placement of the electrode pads of your

tens unit, you place the pads on opposite sides to the painful area. This way

the flow of electricity passes across the pain site and back again, depending on

whether you have your unit set on flow or pulse. Good luck. The tens unit is a

helpful device to reduce pain levels.

Note: Do not use your tens unit while driving. It can cause attentive

distractions.

Hope this information is helpful.

I just rented a tens unit and forget where to put the pads. Do you put them

over the pain spot then place the other ones around it? Could someone explain

it for me?

on a crisscross around the affected area it crosses more area but

don't put them to far a way from each other about 6 -8 inches apart

effective i hope this help

I have a ? what is a tens unit, I have never herd of it.

In all honesty, no... Because my back has such violent muscle

spasms, and that is where I need it, I can't put it there. I use a

referred nerve method by placing in on my abs, because the same

nerves work the back as the abs. It makes my stomach tighten and

relax. By the end of the treatment my back hurts, my abs kill, but I

feel like I did a bit of a workout to keep my stomach muscles strong!

In my leg if I use it with heat and traction I get some reduction of

the numbness, but even that doesn't last once I take it off!

Tell me how it works for you!
