I had a spinal cord stimulator/TENS unit installed a year ago for my chronic back pain/neuropathy. It does a really good job of blocking the burning sensation in my legs
Instructions I rec'd with Auvon unit which appears to be similar if not same as one in your video: "The "M" cycles through the 6 big modes, the silver middle button allows choices (from 2 to 4 varieties) within that mode, totally 16 small modes (1.Lateral palm kneading 2.Flat palm kneading 3.Crosscut first kneading 4.Vertical fist kneading 5.Acupuncture 6.Moxibustion 7.Acupuncture kneading 8.Rubbing reduction 9.Tapping 10.Fibrillation massage 11.Lifting-pinching manipulation 12.Vibrating manipulation 13.Thai massage 14.Shiatsu 15.Sensitive Parts Massage Mode 1 16.Sensitive Parts Massage Mode 2)"
The rubber electrodes what you put gel on are amazing, so much better than the modern sticky ones. The TENS signal is so much stronger and more comfortable if you give them a chance and you can keep the same pads for a long time! If the gel runs out use water. They will not get unstuck with movement if they are strapped on tight 👍🌱
Funny story about me & my TENS unit: went to a surprise Baby Shower for my daughter and accidentally turned it up to FULL THROTTLE when I meant to turn it OFF. I'd worn it on my lower back, hooked discretely in the waistband of my skirt w/a busy print tank top pulled down over it. Thankfully I was wearing a very wide and very long Prairie skirt because my leg flew all the way up in the air that would've made a Las Vegas ShowGirl blush! So much for wearing it discreetly so as not to call attention to myself. The hush that came over the room was unbelievably thick, LOL No one there beside my 2 daughters had ever met me, nor I them....Hello There, I'm Lisa's Mom, Grandma-To-Be of Samuel. hahahahahahahaha
My tens unit was issued by VA after my discharged from military with painful shoulder pains and I use it after 17 years and 3rd tens unit that I bought from Amazon foe $30. Works
Why should the placement be so that the muscles don't contact? What happens if they do? Also, loved Bob's correction on screaming being equal for boys and girls :)
I have found Once your disc is gone it is gone. Just from my own experience. I tried my best not to have my disc in my neck. I’m so glad I finally did it. My pain level decreased significantly. But I still deal with fibromyalgia on a daily. I’m looking to get one of these for my shoulder and my hands. Wishing you all the best.
@@simoneholyfield5103 hi, have you considered Chlorine Dioxide, research into the benefits of taking that supplement for pain and many other benefits. Look for videos here on RUclips on this two gentlemen, Andreas Kalcker or Jim Humble

Everyone should own one especially if you have chronic pain like herniated disc’s or sacrum pain.

i love my new TENS unit after only a day of use. it is a very odd sensation. be careful: very slowly at first turning up the intensity.
I figured it out. The + sign is the on button. Mode resets the level to zero or off. Hit the plus sign.
Thanks guys! I appreciate the rundown. Hard to believe these units are at these prices.
I'm using mine now. :) I love it!

Does this help release muscles?
Is ok to use after a knee replacement ?
I have the same one and mine doesn't work. Not surprised.
Do you have to shave your arm etc found it to work ?
Could I try at home tens unit for my masseters ? Would tht be safe
If it blocks the nerve signal to the brain then would'nt you put the pads at the base of the kneck for all pain relief? What have I missed here?
Where to place for frozen shoulder please?
Great job and great video tap Mac! Keep it up.
To extend the life span of the sticky pads, water should be placed on them before or after using them ?
No
An help regenerate nerves for Neuropathy I’m actually using Staodyn max lite
This tens unit is currently unavailable on Amazon.
This is super helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the info! Does a TENS unit help fix anything or just block pain?
Jody Taggart just block pain I think
I’ve heard it doesn’t fix. Somewhere Bob and Brad said that.
Bob and Brad have also other videos on TENS.
I have a TENS bought last year, 2020, is better, I’d say. Each line has two pads and each pad is pre-glued. Runs on a 7 (or is it 9) volt battery.
Why does he still keep taking the Picture away? It’s in the back ground!
that device is conect to AC power?

Please, Doctor, I need a presentation about McKenzie and William for necessity
I want an explanatory explanation with pictures of Mackenzie and William from exercises
I have muscular distrophy, is there any advantage for me?
Can I use the TENS unit to build b6 ABS?
I think I pinched a nerve in my neck. I reacted to a frisbee and turned my head really fast and now it hurts when I try to turn it the other way
Can the results be permanent? Or are they always temporary?
Awesome
Is that the same as Dr.Ho’s ?
Rick Worth yea

If the muscles contract most people find this very irritating and it is not needed just for pain. Good question.
@@BobandBrad Alright, thanks a lot!
I was thinking tens like Matt Bomer
Reminds me of a saying I made up when I took up woodworking: "If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem becomes a thumb."
I thought it said "How teens help your pain" lol I need an eye test.
LOL!!!!
Lol! Teens definitely "help" your pain (increase). They don't help you lolol
Does it help with herniated discs?
CHRIS BACHMAN
Wouldn't that be amazing if it did?

Christina Stavrou Bachman yeah it can help. It’s help me loads

wait, "40% of people find it helpful", are you saying this is even below placebo effect?
