Looking for TENS unit recommendations

Pat58 · 01-19-22, 10:23 AM

Do you use a TENS unit at home? What brand/type do you recommend?

Thank you.

I purchased this one based on a recommendation from Bob and Brad (and may have gotten a discount code from their web site, IIRC):

https://ireliev.com/product/premium-...ns-ems-system/

It is a dual-channel unit, has both TENS + EMS functions and the electrodes have held up really well. I haven't figured out how long each charge lasts, as it seems like I can run it forever on a single charge. Or if I haven't used it for a while, I've found it still holds a good charge.

I purchased it sometime last year and have been very pleased. It's my first TENS unit, so I can't claim to be an expert.

The brand I was given years ago after a work related injury was call EMPI. The unit still works if I think to get it out. The wires are kind of a pain.

There is not much on this brand anymore but if you do a Google or Amazon search for Empi Tens (electric pulse muscle stimulator) there are a ton of suggestions.

There was one called EMPI Active on Amazon that has an interesting shape that might be comfortable but not too many details about it. Possibly it only has one mode.

They sure are more affordable now.

I am.embarrassed to say I bought one from Amazon ages ago and have not bothered to charge it so I can use it. I think it is the one Diana posted. Thank you for the reminder. I hope you find it helpful.
