TENS 7000 Digital TENS Unit with Accessories - TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator for Back Pain Relief, General Pain Relief, Neck Pain, Sciatica Pain Relief, Nerve Pain Relief

I really like this unit. I had one like this before. It is easy to use, no frills, no hoops to jump through. It will leave the unit in the last mode you used when you turn it off. No need to reset all the width and pulse rate or mode again. The only thing I would change on this unit is to loose the beep when you set it. I do recommend this unit over the other high frill/mode units I have tried.

My husband and I have previously owned several other 7000 model TENS machines of this brand, both of which still work, but are about 12 years old now and are getting a bit worn out, so we decided to purchase a new one. This new edition of model 7000 is essentially the same in the way it looks externally and how it functions as the older version, so if you are replacing a worn-out 7000 model, this upgraded version will not confuse you with unnecessary changes in its interface. What is different is that the manufacturer has added some helpful new options for settings, the most significant to me, and the only one that Ive opted to try out so far, is that if you choose to go to sleep using this TENS unit, it will turn itself off after about an hour, which the previous model did not do. This is an excellent feature because it spares the battery, which saves the user money because 9-volt batteries are not cheap. This device comes with a set of leads and 4 electrodes as a complete starter kit. The electrodes lasted me a total usage time of about 6 to 7 hours before they wore out. That is not in my experience a terrific amount of time for TENS electrodes to last. Ive had other brands of electrodes that fit both this model and my older model of this TENS machine which have lasted a total of about 9 or 10 hours. Note that if you use this machine at all frequently, you will want to immediately order some more electrodes so you wont run out. The 4 electrodes included in this kit is not a lot. The basic principle of how this TENS machine functions, via mild electrical stimulation of muscles, is no different from any other TENS machine. This is good news because this particular brand is quite reasonably priced at the lower end of the scale of cost for TENS machines. All TENS machines are extremely helpful for relieving muscle pain. And for people who suffer from fibromyalgia, in particular, this home therapy is far more effective and a lot safer than taking dangerous prescription drugs with terrible side effects, such as Lyrica. As another example of utilizing this TENS machine rather than relying on dangerous prescription pain drugs, I recently have endured an excruciating bout of shingles, and this TENS unit has been a lifesaver in helping me to bear the terrible pain. It doesnt so much as directly turn off the burning, electric-shock, neuropathic pain that is such a devastating feature of shingles, and which anti-inflammatory OTC medications and prescription opioids are ineffective at controlling. Instead, in my experience, it works to distract the brain from experiencing the neuropathic pain of shingles either entirely, or mutes the pain to a bearable level. As such, it can simultaneously act not only as a form of temporary pain relief, but functions as a crucial tool to help prevent the development of postherpetic neuralgia. Note that TENS should be an adjunct treatment, and not a replacement for the antiviral, prescription drug prescribed for shingles which, to be effective, must be taken within 72 hours of the outbreak of the first set of blisters from the shingles rash. Sadly, statistically, this drug has only a 50-50 chance of mitigating a shingles attack, preventing a future attack, and preventing postherpetic neuralgia. When it comes to preventing the terrible curse of postherpetic neuralgia, its important, therefore, to have as many options as possible on the table. This TENS option is so inexpensive, and so completely safe, that one essentially has nothing to lose by using it as an adjunct to taking the antiviral medication. Doctors who specialize in the treatment of chronic pain have indicated that a main reason for the development of chronic pain, after the original cause of the pain has been healed in the body, is that dysfunctional neural pathways have become established when pain lasts longer than 8 to 12 weeks after the original cause of the pain has been healed. This is the point at which doctors will change the diagnosis of the pain from acute to chronic. Utilizing a TENS unit can help prevent those dysfunctional pathways from becoming entrenched. And if one already has long-established chronic pain, using a TENS unit can be a way to help retrain those dysfunctional pathways. I also believe that, given that using a TENS unit like this one is helpful for the nerve pain of shingles, which is a disease caused by the chicken pox virus which damages nerves, that TENS might also potentially be an excellent, inexpensive and convenient home remedy for the mitigation and potential outright healing of other types of chronic, neuropathic pain as well, if the pain is the type that is post-trauma, rather than pain from ongoing, uncontrolled disease. But even in the case of the latter, a TENS unit can be an excellent adjunct therapy when dangerous prescription drugs are doing an ineffective job at alleviating the devastating suffering caused by neuropathic pain.

This TENS unit is a lifesaver----thank you! Excellent, INSTANT pain relief. If you have severe pain, I HIGHLY recommend this!

My PT specifically recommended this product to treat my bladder pain. Its awkward getting the electrodes to stick where they need to for that just because of my bloated potbelly, and I had to play around with the treatment settings to optimize them for myself, but it really does help with the pain. I use it typically once a day. The electrodes are somewhat annoying to manage, at first sticking tightly to everything they touch to the point that its difficult to peel them off the sheet or adjust placement, then after ~5 uses lose so much adhesiveness that they sometimes have trouble sticking properly where I want them. I tend to get about 10-15 days out of a set of electrodes. A little water on them restores their adhesion, at least for another 2 uses or so. Definitely read the manual before use. YMMV depending on what area youre treating and just plain what works for you, but though I find it kind of a nuisance to set up & take apart/put away, its greatly reduced my pain levels.

OMG this is the best tens unit that I have ever purchased! The only thing is it uses a 9 V battery. However it does last a good time. This was recommended by doctors and I see why. It has really helped with my pain and I can continue with my day. It can even clip to your belt. It may not look good, but I do tell you for certain that you will never be disappointed! I highly recommend this product!

Ordered this as an Amazon favorite and it did not disappoint. Easy to use and very powerful. Love the hard shell case.

I have debilitating menstrual pain, and I have a natural resistance to pain killers (including narcotics and blood thinners). In the 20 years Ive endured the red parade, this little thing is the ONLY way Ive gotten relief. For the first time, Im able to function like a normal human being (albeit with the cord and unit stuck to my belt). It definitely feels weird at first, and it might take you some time to figure out the right placement and settings for you. And keep in mind that layers of fatty tissue will reduce its effectiveness on the muscles underneath. My units been working well for a while, though its needed battery changes every other month or so. And if it ever does fail due to wear, Ill readily buy another. Another bonus seems to be that the node adhesive doesnt irritate sensitive skin. Well, at least it doesnt irritate mine. The case it comes with is also the ideal size for travel, either to work or further.

Great product very strong but you can set the power so it can be delicate too.

I initially bought this product to help my husband with some deep tissue neck/shoulder pain. He did not like it, it did not help. But when my teenage son and nephews got a hold of it they had a blast... so I guess its a win.

Ive used a number of e-stim and TENs units, and this one has been one of the best! Its well made, and has very solid connection points for the cables, as well as a clear display, and easy to follow instructions. As for the actual power, this device delivers! I cant even touch some of the higher settings, because theyre just too intense for me, but Ill get there, eventually. Overall, a solid tool for the price. Just be careful with the connectors, since they are proprietary to this device, and require specific replacements, rather than generic connector cables.
