[PamC-kt]

This is the best and simplest explanation w/easy diagrams of placement of Tens Unit Pads and how to get started! 🥰 Love it and it was exactly what I spent most of my day looking for. Thank You so much for posting this and in the softest tone of voice and manner with ease that you explained the multiple ways to uses it.

The TENS unit she is using is the TENS AA. Both the TENS AA and the Ultima U5 are FDA and GSA approved and a prescription is normally required by a physician. The pulse width and pulse rate on these prescription required units are adjustable while over the counter consumer units are not adjustable. The beauty of these units is they use inexpensive AA batteries which are easy to find and have more capacity than the retail over the counter units that use more expensive multiple AAA or 9V batteries which also has less capacity.

Few additional points. 1) When you remove the sticky pads, do not remove them by pulling them off by holding the cable from the electrode as you are likely to damage the wire. 2) Batteries loose their power after repeated use, and you may find you are turning the power levels higher to compensate. At this point, you should think about changing the batteries. 3) When you are walking around with the unit connected, be careful not to catch the electrode cables and damage them. 4) Always start the program ensuring the power levels are set to minimum, and the electrodes are in situ.

Thank you! Very informative in comparison to all the other videos. I had no idea how to use a tens device and this video helped me really understand it. Also you mentioned who should not use it which was very important. no one has ever mentioned to me. Thank you twice!

I used a TENS on my pinky after I tore the nerve while exercising and it had no feeling for 3 months. I could use it and to precise articulation since I'm a symphonic and shred guitarist, but I couldn't feel the strings!
Finally, I stuck an acupuncture needle in the tip of my pinky and a patch on the palm and after about 2 1/2 weeks, my pinky was 100% healed.
*Now, to say it HURT is an understatement! lmao, but after the first session I had some feeling back so I just suffered through it and it's been fine for 4+ years.*

Currently, I have a torn sciatic nerve that's had my leg 1/2 limp for the last 2 years and am now resorting to extreme measures to heal it. *I went through this 18 years ago and literally had to run up the steepest long hills I could find, but it knitted the nerve back together.* It took a few years, but I was 100% after about 4-5.
*Unfortunately, I retore it 2 years ago in July and am now just finally seeing significant progress.*

I use the TENS every single day and will be running up long steep hills again soon for as long as it takes. *This 2nd time around with this injury was just too much for me to bear mentally due to a lot of other tragic circumstances.* In the end, you're no use to anyone including yourself if you aren't healthy.

I use this same unit for scoliosis. Its difficult it put them on without help in that spot. Pain from scoliosis is insane. Pain meds don't help at all. The tens helps numb it

[Motherpat]

Thank you I was given the tens, and told to read the instructions, smh. You did a great job!!

[buttonpetrelli]

Good explaining and showing us Thankyou for ur time. X

[jameslyons]

Thanks so much for your knowledge. I found all these youtube videos don't explain the positive (red+) and the negative (neg-) electrodes that are pertaining the flow of electrical pulse feed. Like to know the direction of wavelength applied to the back, would it be downward or upward wave flow, how to set it? Thank you.

I was discouraged seeing the length of your video, but am SO GLAD my husband and I watched. You are great in all aspects. Thank you so much for your wonderful information and presentation. We appreciate you.
