You guys said the irelieve is best so I got that 7070 for my son ems and tens and I got a different one for my self.

[@hangsthemighty912]

Ohh cool thank you for the info, I really needed this bros.

[@jazzcatt]

I have the Chattanooga Primera. It's the same one my PT office uses when they have too many appointments to use the large unit. Sorry, I dislike most rechargeable units. I'm happy with the one I have which uses a 9 volt.

[@junkie842]

Good information!

[@stemirreviews]

Great! Thanks!

[@dienekes4364]

Use alcohol wipes to clean your pads and they will stay sticky much longer so you won't have to buy as many. The alcohol will clean off any oils that the pad picks up from your skin.

For MS, can EMS help stimulate weak sluggish muscles, to help regain strength? Also, is there any type of brace to help weaken “fallen” hips? Thanks!

[@williamhelus3522]

Looking for tens device with EMS feature. Rechargeable batteries are a must. Trying to build up muscle where injury has taken place. Like neck, 4 bulging disks, if my neck muscles(traps)were bigger, I wouldn't have so much pain. I have sciatica, and if my back muscles were bigger. Degenerative nerve damage to L.upper pectoral, to build up muscle around damaged area. So, I have legitimate concerns to own/use this equipment when and where on my body I need to. Sounds like the Only help, is to help yourself. Bruce Lee used one to help the fibers in him muscles to constrict faster and stronger. Electrical muscle stimulation sounds better than a bunch of heavy weights trying to build muscle. Never worked for me. I'm 58, 5'9"" and 125#, the gym never interested me. Hopefully, somehow I can get monitary help to get the device that produces the strongest current and stable rhythm. Thank You for your time presenting this info. William Helus, Colorado.

[@kj3414]

would you mind commenting on the different options of hz and mA when considering a Tens/Tens & EMS unit (moderate/chronic pain)?

[@lltcna_Laura]

I have an EMSI flex IT and it is considered a interferential unit what is the difference between straight tens and interferential

[@emmavasnormandy1262]

Dipping out 55 seconds in because I was hoping this would review different units not be an endorsement. :( Why can't I find a genuine person just reviewing different types? I like mine but its getting old and a bit battered. I wanted to see what my replacement options were and I thought with the title that this could be helpful. You should have titled this video better, its misleading.

[@allenluu2837]

which machine is work best for people with spinal cord injury T11 and T12 ?

What’s the strongest intensity Tens unit you’ve ever heard of or tried on the market of these type of handhelds so?

[@insu1569]

Can you use a tens machine after shockwave?

[@mr.lad-detailingtricksntip]

So I have sciatic pain. Went to target to get the fitrx electrode machine. Will that not work at all?

Hi, My 85-yo mom has stents placed around her groin area to increase blood flow to her toes, is it ok to use a TENS unit for lower back pain?

[@Jake51500]

What do you guys think of the Hidow brand?

[@genesishep]

Can't say I agree with you on the rechargable/built in batteries. Best of both worlds are units that take batteries and just use standard size rechargable AA, AAA etc. batteries. That way you can keep a set on you or worst case scenario if you don't have any and they do die while you are out you can pick up a new set in any convenience store on any corner anywhere. Better than having a non replaceable battery that eventually degrades and won't hold a charge, a charging port wear out so you can't charge properly or have no access to a plug if you are out on the road.

[@tamalajade]

What is brand and number for both plz

[@gaylecheung3087]

I just got the EMPI Eclipse+ Digital System by prescription through my Doctor. It’s out business, It was affiliated with DSP USA and they were sued by the US military for overcharging and they had a non-claimer settlement... So they do no longer carry this device but is still available for purchasing why is this and can you do a little review about this unit. It’s not cheap it’s quite expensive but I have insurance because I live in Canada, yay... Typo not going to fix

[@creativecompanion]

1313 unit is not bad for $49, but uses non rechargeable batteries. 8080 unit is $129, but has rechargeable batteries and more features.

[@persiananalyst]

creativecompanion they ended up linking to the more expensive unit in the description but the 1313 model they described is listed at $49.99 as of a few minutes ago. Hope that helps!

[@creativecompanion]

Mahdi Shirazi Thank you!

[@johnkennedy9078]

What about the et-7070? Is that rechargeable? Thank you

[@johnkennedy9078]

Also can I plug the cheaper 1313 unit in an ac adapter to not use batteries?? Or is that not an option?

[@letseat7973]

I have a ten unit but I go up to the highest level on it and sometimes it doesn’t help. It’s a few years old. I am looking to get something that will give me a little more kick. I will look into this one.

[@jazzcatt]

Pad placement is important. If it's on the wrong place it won't do squat.

[@letseat7973]

@@jazzcatt pad placement has nothing to do with what I am talking about.😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jazzcatt]

@@letseat7973 Yes it does. It can make a huge difference.

I just recently got my self a tens unit for the first time i got an off brand one and love it but I’m wanting to get a wireless one. I’m torn between the irelieve one and the Omron avail wireless.

[@dakotafones8949]

Hidow has the best wireless units

[@saileshram7610]

Can tens work like Tdcs?

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Why are there two units numbered 8080 on the website? The "Premium" 8080 one is 129.95, and the other 8080 unit is 99.95

Relieve is the same as prorelax unit here in UK, Sparky, bad tens signal. Get an Everyway Medical device AKA TENS7000/Med-Fit nice smooth signal.

[@helenalovelock1030]

What is the best one in the UK ?

[@LGMinnesota]

Would be nice if you showed a real demo on a person. Also are there places where you wouldn't recommend having them on? How long? Lot of questions left unanswered. Also you say put your questions down belong but there's LOTS of questions and they're not answered.

[@surpingbutterfly]

Would an EMS be good for someone who has muscular pain and chronic inflammation, tightness and spasms? I have a tens that helps with pain but wondering if an EMS would help me strengthen my muscles to reduce pain.

[@iliketurtles536]

I am not a doctor but I would think that it would help the muscles activate, not sure about strengthen.

[@dafff08]

is there a difference between a tens unit and an e-stim? e-stims are significantly more expensive than tens.

[@michaelparrish1511]

Hey guys. I don't have a question so much as an observation... A backlit screen goes a long way in keeping your spouse happy since there will be less fumbling around at night, trying to adjust the function settings.

[@diopinzon]

What is the difference between low rate TENS and EMS?

[@allenschneider1847]

If you are trying to get muscles that are tense ( ie "ropey muscles, or in spasm) would you use tens or ems?

[@dstelling1334]

Wondering also

[@Nigriff]

Yes

​@@dstelling1334yes

[@sinusguy]

I want a unit that differentiates the positive and negative wire. I’ve got two units and neither do that. I also want to manually control Pulse frequency, width, and intensity. I’ve had a difficult time with that too. Preferably the unit would have a 120 intensity but 100 would be acceptable. I want a rechargeable unit. 2 to 4 channels. And finally, I want the unit to take aftermarket pads and not company specific stuff. I would really appreciate any machines you know that meet my criteria. I’m using Neocarson right now, but if I wanted the negative lead on top, I have no way of knowing which is positive and negative. Preferably less than $100 preferably both tens and EMS. I would greatly appreciate your reply with suggestions.

[@junkie842]

I was just told I have a herniated disk? Tens/ elms or both? Please help

[@kebirbenkaccem726]

What if picked up radiation and chemotherapy side effects like numbness, tingling, tightness in your feet, what type of tens would you use?

[@Nigriff]

Ask your doctor

[@krunkey]

🤣I still can't get over how cheesy, cringe and wholesome your intro jingle is. I Love ya ❤

[@tonecapone8392]

I have one that has Tens, Ems, IF, and Russian whatever all that means. Anybody have an idea as to what the difference is between these 4 types ?

[@Nigriff]

IF is infrared

[@rain7096]

👍

[@johnk.2508]

I bought a bargain brand tens unit but was disappointed to discover that it was only a nines unit. 🤷

[@johnb4183]

Lol someday I hope to have a 100s unit !

[@johnb4183]

Battery units are better by far , you can carry a spare battery easily. I use quality rechargeable 9v batteries that have lasted a long time

[@garywallden2924]

Can you feel the TEN’S working? Is there an indication or feeling when using the unit?

[@LordBurger]

your muscles will repeatedly contract by themselves

[@jazzcatt]

@@LordBurger Not necessarily. TENS units are for treating pain, not for muscle stimulation. Those are two different animals.

[@LordBurger]

@@jazzcatt tens units contract muscles, involuntary action potential. thats how they work. im not talking about stimulation in the EMS sense. i use one myself

[@gerrygizzygarcia2572]

Anybody here but a nuero md? It's suppose to be stronger and better then any tens unit I just got out I'm the mail yesterday got bout 45 days to try it out just wondering if anyone here heard or tried it I have herniated discs so hopefully it helps

[@matt09ward]

non recharble is by far better than recharble. just buy recharble batterys, lets you instantly swap out batterys and charge the old ones

[@WaynePryce]

Why did my PT tell me that people dont use TENS anymore?

[@deew3426]

Ireliev does not work as advertised.In speaking with customer service very professional.It is the company’s policy if unit does not function properly & you return they charge a 25% restocking fee plus you pay postage.Not fair but oh well, you go deal with another company.

[@emeraldramos8384]

This is random, but should I be going to physical therapy during this quarantine? Is it too much of a risk that I go, but my knees are deterioratingggg

[@andreidinu7316]

Kind of late to answer, but you should go if your therapist keeps the safety measures. I am going and it's safe.
