TENS 7000 Digital TENS Unit with Accessories - TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator for Back Pain Relief, General Pain Relief, Neck Pain, Sciatica Pain Relief, Nerve Pain Relief

I was iffy about purchasing after scrolling through many options. I have been using it for three weeks now, and it works great. I have not replaced the battiers so far. I highly recommend it.

Love my tens unit. My son took my other one I purchased 5 years ago . Value for money is not bad at all. Works great for muscle fatigue an pain. The unit is very easy to use. Directions are easy to understand also.

Works ok. Very simple setup. I wish it was rechargeable instead of running on old fashioned battery. I like the little storage container which is like a miniature suitcase that it comes with. Also wish it came with more replacement pads.

An incredible unit. I wouldn’t be with out one. I have given one to both of my children

I had the earlier model, TENS 3000, which was excellent, so I didnt hesitate to buy this. I just want a basic TENS unit, not 1,500 different modalities and acrobatics for the machine to do -- just good old, basic TENS. This unit is super simple to operate....easy to understand, easy to use, easy to control, easy to pack back up when done. I use it while reading, watching TV etc. Its easy-on, easy-off. Depending on how experienced you are in determining exactly where you electrode pads need to be, the machine does the rest and the controls are simple. I looked at a lot of others before buying this, thinking maybe I needed nouveau features. I dont. I use a TENS for basic pain relief and thats what this delivers. It may not be super razzle-dazzle -- but I like simplicity and I like to get what I WANT in a product. And I did.

My Chiropractic uses this so I got my own and it really helps.

The heavy duty battery that is provided is meant to last only an hour max, which I dont understand but maybe Im missing something. Unfortunately, this one fell short. The battery that was included was already starting to corrode and was completely dead. Having to go out to buy a battery was an inconvenience. But once I replaced the battery it works well, so far.

I gave 4: stars because the batteries that came with the device only lasted for 3 uses before they died. I need to buy more batteries and hope they last longer, as its not practical to need to get new batteries every week. The device itself worked great and helped with my upper back pain. It felt comparable to the E-stim machine used by my chiropractor.

I highly recommend this TENS unit. My physical therapist uses this one and I figured her endorsement was a good enough reason to try it. After two months of regular use, Im not disappointed. Best one Ive tried. The last one I tried before this had a large display screen that cracked horribly the first time I dropped it, which meant I could no longer use many of the settings because I couldnt see them. Plus the electrodes would work intermittently even though it was brand new. On the other hand, Ive dropped my TENS 7000 unit *numerous* times on my hardwood floors due to clumsiness and weak hands from RA, and it still works perfectly. It doesnt have a big display screen, so theres not much that could crack. And the electrodes have worked reliably since day one. Another factor to consider is that on a lot of other units (including the last one I tried) you can accidentally bump the intensity dial or other settings, but on the TENS 7000 all the controls have covers over them so you dont surprise yourself by bumping the intensity up to some insane level and then panicking and scrambling to turn it down or off. The TENS 7000 has numerous signal pattern options for variety so your nerves dont adapt to a single monotonous pattern, and can be set to run for up to an hour at a time. It also has two different channels so you can use four electrodes at once if you want. It takes a 9V battery. When I use it ALL DAY, a battery will typically last me about 3-4 days, and thats actually a LOT of hours when you think about it. Most users dont run them for hours at a time. Tip: Its helpful to wipe the electrodes down with rubbing alcohol after every couple uses or so to remove any oils that can build up, which maintains signal clarity. For anyone who hasnt tried a TENS unit, they really do help with a lot of different types/sources of pain. They work by delivering electrical impulses which disrupt the pain signals being transmitted through nerves, including the sciatic nerve. Ive heard feedback from folks with various conditions that cause nerve pain who say they also get some relief from TENS units. Doesnt hurt to try. Besides interrupting nerve pain signals, Ive also found that the impulses can often get my spasming muscles to at least partially relax. When Im focused on the pain in my low back, Ill put an electrode on either side of my spine around L5. When sciatic pain (which I get on my right side) is bad, Ill put one electrode on the right side of my spine around L5-S1, and Ill put the other electrode further down the path of the sciatic nerve on my bum, wherever the pain is strongest in that area. That placement effectively interrupts/dulls the signal for me so that it lessens the intensity of the pain. Often it interrupts the pain signal enough that it only radiates partway down my leg, and on a good day it sometimes stops it from radiating much at all. Left uncontrolled, that pain can bring me to my knees in tears (not exaggerating), so anything that brings it into a tolerable range is hugely successful in my opinion. For me its helpful about 95% of the time. There are some days where I wear it from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, or sometimes even when I go to bed if the pain wont let up when I lay down. And Ill wear it when I run errands, or just any time Im doing anything that involves sitting, standing, or moving around. It latches onto to my pocket fairly securely with the built-in clip. I change the impulse pattern every hour when I restart it so my nerves dont adapt and become desensitized to the signal. One pair of electrodes will usually last through quite a few uses, and you can buy replacement electrodes in bulk on Amazon for a reasonable price. I paid $25 for a 48-pack (24 pairs) and I typically go through a couple pairs per week.

Been using TENS units for many years, glad to see the price come down from the several hundred I used to have to spend. The only con to this one is its larger than ones Ive used before.
