Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a machine which uses mild electrotherapy for pain relief. An electric current is produced by the unit and is passed to the user through electrodes. TENS units can be used to treat acute as well as chronic pain.
Picking-out a TENS Unit can be intimidating since there are so many on the market. Key features to look for when purchasing a new machine include whether or not it is battery operated, adjustable width and rate, modes, timer, screen, warranty and most importantly maximum output of electricity or milliamp (mA).
Width control determines the level of electricity (pain relief) you receive, whereas rate determines how often the electric current is sent. Some units come programmed with its own width and rate modes, others leave it all up to you.
A screen can make reading the width and rate outputs easier. But some people prefer using dials rather than buttons. The timer aids in administrating the correct length of time during treatments.
At Pro Therapy Supplies, we honor all of our warranties. Machines which do not have warranties could end-up costing more to repair than what they are worth. Some units have 1 year warranties, others can have up to 5 years.
