MEDVIVE Rechargeable FDA Cleared Tens Unit with 16 Modes and 8 Pads for Natural Pain Relief and Management, Electric Pulse Impulse Mini Massager Muscle Stimulator

This is a truly awesome product. It's portable and easy to carry. While I have a massage chair which is awesome by the way but there are blind areas for the chair as well. This is where this product comes in and it works wonders. TENS has been clinically proven to reduce nerve related pain. Also equally effective for muscle stiffness. Not effective at all for orthopaedic pain. My mother has had a stiff neck for 6 years now and numerous doctor visits couldn't fix it. Finally, a family friend practicing neurology in Germany recommended it and after just 3 uses for the first time in 6 years she is able to rotate her neck the way the neck is supposed to rotate. I also checked it with my aunt suffering from Sciatica pain and she for the first time in more than 5 years genuinely reported a significant relief. I recommend this to everyone. TENS has to be used as per the instructions of the manual like the device is not suitable for people with pacemaker, pregnant women, etc.

Buena calidad / precio

I’ve only used it once for about an hour. I bought it in hopes it would help with my carpal tunnel. I’m really shocked (no pun intended) on how strong and small this is. Really nice packaging, everything sealed and new. Comes with a carrying bag too. Very easy to use after a quick read through directions. It may be too early to really tell but I have to say I did get some relief. Has over six different settings and it really packs a charge in the highest setting. For just under $30.00 I’m giving this 5 stars and a must buy. As a bonus it has extra pads so you can really cover any area that’s needed and you can actually use it with some one else since it has the extra pads and inputs on the unit. It also comes with a charger and wire. The unit is rechargeable and the display is bright and clear showing all settings and battery life. Definitely worth the price. I’m giving this a strong buy recommendation.

I'm not new to TENS. Whenever I go to a physical therapy appointment or see my chiropractor, I get a TENS session. It's great for releasing tension in super tight muscles in my back. TENS uses a kind of electric current that is safe and stimulates the muscles to release tension. I love it. When I learned you could get portable versions to use at home, my chiropractor recommended one to me. That was my first at home device. This one is my latest. Even smaller and sleeker than the one I had before. This TENS unit is portable, super light and powerful. I use my favorite setting and turn it up to the highest strength that is comfortable for me. Very effective at reducing tension in my tight back muscles. I've even used it on my thighs before. I also love that it's rechargeable, which means no plugging into a power socket. And it's smaller than a cell phone. So i can tuck it into my pocket and be up and about while it does it's thing. I don't have to lie around tethered to a power plug! It also comes with a variety of pad sizes, and two sets of wires, so you can have 2 or 4 pads going at once. It's a great little device and the price is right!

I have been using my new rechargeable TENS unit for about a month now. I find it extremely easy to use, and quite effective at reducing my chronic aches and pains. I use it as needed for hip, lower back, knee and ankle pains from various injuries that I have suffered over my clumsy lifetime. I have also noticed some relief from my peripheral neuropathy foot pain. I seem to get around 48 hours of relief without the use of additional pain killers. Although this TENS unit is not a cure, it does soothe the achey feeling I sometimes have from over-use, long periods of standing, or the change in the weather. This little unit is easy to take to any location (patio, sofa, car trip etc) so I can do a little pain therapy anytime! Having experienced a professional TENS unit in therapy sessions, I wouldn't call it an identical experience, but it is very effective. The unit is abbout the size of an iPod, and the materials seem sturdy and well made. I don't expect it will be as durable as professional quality medical devices, but then it isn't as expensive either! In other words, it is well priced for what it does, but probably not the sort of thing that will last for decades. The unit has two sets of electrode leads that can be used simultaneously. I do note a fall-off in output strength when both sets are employed, but I suppose that is to be expected. Also, the output seems to feel weaker on one channel- Not sure if that is by design, but it is a workable situation. The user interface is not immediately intuitive, but easily understood after a few minutes of tapping the screen icons. There are a variety of stimulation patterns available in the settings, ranging from smooth and gentle to very strong and targeted- so most users will be able to find an effective setting or maybe a few favorites! Power settings are reset when you hit the Home button which allows you to safely switch between therapy pattens without unpleasant sudden power shifts, and so if a setting is too strong you have a quick failsafe. The pads that the TENS unit comes with are varied in size to deliver the appropriate stimulation as needed. The self-stick gel pads are great and stay put. They are made from a highly tacky homogenous gel that can be reused many many times. They can be wiped off (I use antibacterial alcohol based gel) or washed to remove skin oils as needed. They do not require any goo, nor do they leave any adhesive residue. At the price that this unit is offered (under $40) I am considering this as a gift for a family member that has work related aches and pains. I think this little gem would help out immensely! TENS is good for anyone with chronic joint or muscle aches and can also be useful for pain associated with Fibromyalgia or diabetic nerve pain. One thing I would suggest to potential buyers is to do a little research, because there are some important things to know about using any TENS unit. I will not go into detail, just look into it- and of course, check with your doctor to make sure TENS is safe for you to use.

I had my doubts initally as I got this during a lightning deal...it seemed too expensive to be true. But I had tried out a similar device in Las Vegas a few months back at the CES convention, and this looked exactly like the one they were selling at 4x the price. So I tried it... Bottom Line: ...Wow, this little device is pretty amazing...although the icons and instructions aren't the best, it was fairly simple to use. Attach the patches (they stick really well and it looks like they will last quite a long time), plug it into the device and slide the switch on. Then select your function (pulsing etc.), pressing the top of the rocker selects the function, the bottom selects the time you want it to stay on. Press the rocker left or right to increase or decrease intensity. Not sure what the middle button does, but I will figure it out later. Anyway, this is amazing...I placed it on my lover back, the small tabs on each side of the lower spine.... felt great...10 minutes and the sore back felt relief! An I only had this turned onto 1/2 the intensity. I really cannot believe how well this works. Other stuff: Package arrived in two days, and the box was sealed in cellophane (it appeared to be brand new). Really nice things were all included....you get the device, a charger and charge cord and a lot of the sticky packages...different sizes so they can be re-used. You also received extra cords to attach to several pads (the device has two ports , so more than 1 pair of patches can be attached). You also get a carry pouch and another pad to attach the sticky pads to when you're done. Hopefully this device will last...I will update folks in a few months if anything goes wrong with it.
