    Doctor Jo, truly you can’t know how perfectly aligned and on time you are with/for me. For weeks, I’d mention something to my mom or a friend, and within 48hrs you’d upload a video regarding the exact thing I mentioned. Around the time you began the daily comprehensive body series weeks ago, you legitimately uploaded within 24hrs whatever I’d mention.
    Now, I did not speak aloud today about my TENS unit (which I’ve had since 2010 post-knee surgery, and haven’t used it in a decade). Yet, here you are.
    Anyhow, I am “shopping my apt”, since I have an inordinate number of assets (tools and resources) within my home to help me maintain health, fitness, and wellness, to solve any issues, and to greatly improve that which I need/desire, and this is one I intend to utilize ASAP. I am so grateful for that, and I appreciate you for this simply detailed instructional vid… And each/every other vid you bless us with. Your diligence and humble nature makes me trust your knowledge. Thank you. 💚

    Thanks for defining the difference between the 2 modes. I just got a new unit that is both TENS EMS because I need deep muscle pain relief and the plain TENS wasn’t cutting it. When I tried it first I was criss crossing like you’d taught me years ago and it felt good but I was frustrated it didn’t help better with the pain. I will be trying to target the muscle with each channel for EMS and see if that helps.
    I’m trying next to decipher what mode is best for mid back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain. My machine shows a diagram of various exercises deadlifts, incline crunches set so I’m using the Overhead press and then a rate that bounces between 05 and 77 Hz while the pulse remains constant at 170 Hz. but honestly have no idea what is best. Do you have a video that describes what these 2 Hz readings mean in the TENS mode and EMS mode⁉️
    You are the ONLY person I ever recommend when someone complains about pain and I explain how my PT encouraged me to buy a TENS years ago. Thank YOU 🙏🏻 for all your efforts to help us find relief at home for chronic pain‼️

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  3 года назад

      You're welcome, and thanks for recommending my channel to people! Most of the units that have preset modes are kind of stuck to exactly what you mentioned, and unfortunately, are not always accurate in their descriptions. So often, I recommend just using the one that feels the best or feels like it's working what you want it to work, and not worry about the pictures. There are some machine you can buy that do have manual settings and you can program them how you want (like the ones you see in clinics, just not as expensive). If that is something you are interested in, I do have a book about TENS/EMS units that go into specific detail about them. The book also has a section of exercises using the unit. There are pictures and descriptions. You can find it in my product store on Amazon: www.amazon.com/shop/askdoctorjo (affiliate link)

    I would first like to apologise for writing a irrelevant comment here that's not related to the issue you're targeting. But wanted some advice on the sciatic nerve pain issue. Past week I did the stretches that you adviced in the video and they were great! So thank you for that one. But when I was doing them I always felt numbness in the knee area. Like either it's the knee that's tingling or going numb, as I can't stretch the leg completely straight for much time. When I walk I feel numbness infront of the knee. So wanted to ask that can you advice something on this one, it'll be a great help. Sorry for such a long comment. And thank you for your help with so much of helpful content.

      It sounds like your closed captions got turned on. You can easily turn them off by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. If you want to leave them on, you can drag them to another area on the screen, or you can make them transparent. You can even automatically translate them into many different languages!
