- TENS unit (or Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation devices) can be an effective home remedy for pain relief. The benefits of TENS is that it is drug free and without side effects, and it can be used regularly each day.
TENS is great to help manage both acute and chronic pain. In this video, I will share what is a TENS machine, what it does, and how to set up the TENS machine for use at home.

Thank you for FINALLY providing a video that demonstrates so clearly how to use a TENS unit. There are so many horrible videos out there. This one is great for beginners especially.
Glad it was helpful!
Love it!
excellent. Thank you
thanks for watching, hope it helps!
Thank you for this informative Video. Could you please let me know a setting for back Spasms?
Hi, if it is an acute back spasm, use the pain relief setting which would be 80-100Hz, at 60 microseconds. If it is a chronic tight muscle, I would recommend the acupuncture like setting at 2-4Hz, 200 microseconds pulse width.
DOES WRONG USE CAUE ANY DAMAGE AS STROKE PATENT I HAVE RIGHT FEET ARM HAND STRITCH. SOME BODY USED ON ME FOR JUST FEW MIN MY KNEE PAIN GONE. I ASKED HIM CAN I BUY ONE TO USE BUT HE TOLD ME WRONG USE CAN DAMAGE? ITS TRUE??
Hi. Dr. Mike. Good Day. What mode and setting do you recommend for chronic shoulder pain?
@JantzenJoyceGC, Hi thanks for your question. I would recommend the acupuncture- like TENS setting which is 2-4Hz, at 200 microseconds. Usually pain of chronic nature would have better results with acupuncture-like TENS unless it is an acute flare-up of a chronic condition, where the conventional TENS setting would be more beneficial. Hope that helps!
Thank u and its very informative. Can we observe muscle contractions/visible muscle twitches with high TENS too?what is the reason for these visible contractions eventhough we are stimulating sensory pathways in TENS?
Yes you can get twitches, they are stimulating the motor nerves as well!

Which setting would you recommend for stimulating dry needle?
What mode would you recommend for sciatic pain please?
Hi @lukeaimson7111 If it is for pain relief, you may want to try LIVER 3, GB34 points. But don't use it on the sciatic distribution as it can worsen it with too much stimulation. Check with your medical professional for proper diagnosis to see if it is a true sciatica.
@@EastWestPhysiotherapy Thank you for your reply. Am I understanding correctly that liv 3 is the acupuncture point on the top of your foot. I’m unsure about the gb34 is it the one on the side of my leg, just below the knee area?
My doctor here in the uk diagnosed sciatic but our health care has gone way down in recent times so they are not doing very much for me. My pain is dailey and it’s at the base of my spine and travels into both buttocks and down the backs of my legs. It’s a burning shock like pain. I also get a pressure on my left side leg running up from my ankle to just bellow my knee and it’s where the muscle meets my shin bone.
I have the same one. Whats the setting you use for muscle stimulation for example, when you are working out?
Hi there, you will need one that does EMS - just a TENS machine won't work.
@@EastWestPhysiotherapy I also have the same device that you show in the video, which has an EMS mode.
Your opinion on this is that it is useless or that it does not have enough power to use it to exercise muscles?
Thank you for your comments, they have been very useful to me.
