It would be great if you gave more information on the pulse and width settings as far as what they do and any recommended starting points for a new user.
For Mode, I feel the Burst mode is best for muscle knots as it penetrates deeper, normal mode is good for prolonged use, and if you start using it everyday, then switch to modulation.
I was wondering how you like it and if it works for you? My doctor told me I should get one and he recommended this unit but I haven't really found anyone saying how they like it. Great video as well, if I get one I will know how to use it. Thank you.
I think that TENS is valuable for pain control and can help for a sort period of time. Since it is temporary please consult with a health care provider to get to the root of your pain.
Thank you. The different parameters can be adjusted for Chronic Pain, Acute Pain, or Edema. Therefore, the PT will decide which parameters will have the most benefit and help educate you on which ones to use at home.
TENS units can help with acute or chronic pain. The frequency or rate for acute pain is usually effective between 80 and 120 Hz. Chronic pain can benefit from lower settings 2 to 10Hz that stimulates an endorphin release. The width is how long the stimulation occurs. You can use from 150-200uS to pain relief. Muscle stimulation usually requires a longer width. Again these are just guidelines and each individual is different. TENS is also temporary as the relief usually subsides as soon as you take the unit off.

I actually have samples in the description. Are you able to see them?
Sample Settings for Acute Pain:
Mode: Normal
Frequency: 80-120 Hz (gait theory)
Pulse Width: 100-150 ms
Ramp 1-2 Seconds
Duration: 30 mins
Sample Settings for Chronic Pain:
Mode: Burst
Frequency: 2-10 Hz (endorphin theory)
Pulse Width: 200-250 ms
Ramp 3-5 Seconds
Duration: 30-45 mins
Sample Settings for Muscle Knots:
Mode: Burst or Modulation
Frequency: 35-50 Hz (muscle relaxation)
Pulse Width: 150-200 ms
Ramp 2-3 Seconds
Duration: 20-30 mins
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for video. Do this tens pads need gel apply before pads
Kindly confirm because i need to know it
No they do not need any gel.
Are the settings remembered from last use?
Yes
Which Mode, frequency and width do you suggest to cure Muscle Knot on Arm ?
Frequency between 2-10Hz, higher frequency for pain (80-120Hz). Pulse width of 200-250ms works well for muscle tension.
For Mode, I feel the Burst mode is best for muscle knots as it penetrates deeper, normal mode is good for prolonged use, and if you start using it everyday, then switch to modulation.
@@dr.dennypatel Thank you very much sir. I'm using burst mode everyday. That helps a lot.

I bought it for the muscle twitch Doc
Can this be used at low frequency 60hz on facial muscles ?
I would not use this on the face as it is too close to the carotid artery.

What do the different frequencies and pulse widths do in practice (I know what they mean, but what does it accomplish)?
Thank you. The different parameters can be adjusted for Chronic Pain, Acute Pain, or Edema. Therefore, the PT will decide which parameters will have the most benefit and help educate you on which ones to use at home.
@@dr.dennypatel can you explain it. My insurance will no longer pay for PT. Much appreciate your help. Happy new year!
@@dr.dennypatel I am wondering same. What does width do. And rate . Is width how deep it penetrate ?? Cause certain nerves are deeper??
TENS units can help with acute or chronic pain. The frequency or rate for acute pain is usually effective between 80 and 120 Hz.

How do you use the Balego NMES device for sciatica?
NMES is usually used to strengthen, not good for sciatica. TENS or IFC is better for sciatica.

does it create heat ? in the muscle ?
No there is no heat created. It temporarily blocks the pain via electrical current.
can you use an ac adapter for this model?
No these are only battery powered.
How many volts?
0-50 v (Load: 500 ohm). Uses 9 volt battery.
If one pad feels stronger than the other try a new lead, those Everyway Medical leads supplied do seem to cause it 😅
