How to Use a TENS Unit for Foot Pain Relief

In this video, I talk about some of the benefits of using a TENS Unit on the feet. I also show various TENS pad placements on the feet to help relieve pain and increase circulation.

In the video, I'm using DR-HO'S Circulation Promoter TENS/EMS Unit. It's a nice unit for using all over the body, but the best part is the circulation promoter's foot platform which is specifically designed for the feet.

Thanks Dr. Jo! At 65 years and just after a total hip replacement, I am starting to get some neuropathy/ mild numbness. But with TENS unit and exercises and walking, I’m getting relief and keeping it from getting worse!

[peterrobbins]

If your heel pain problem not solved after all types treatment after that you check your full body health checkup like blood test, Vitamin -D, B12, Tholesterol and Thyroid.

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking but I watched your video on bicep tendonitis which I will try the stretches.
My question is I have a similar problem with my triceps with pain in the tendons with pain on my funny bone where I think/assume the tendons are attached. Are the similar exercises/stretches I can do to help this problem.
Any help would be great, thanks

I have a Numedics Tens 24--it works fine for my back and shoulder but does nothing at all for my feet even if the pads are only a few mm apart. Will this TENS unit actually work, and if not will they accept a return?
