iRelievTENS + EMS Combination Unit Muscle Stimulator for Pain Relief & Arthritis & Muscle Strength - Treats Tired and Sore Muscles in Your Shoulders, Back, Ab's, Legs, Knee's and More

I injured my upper right shoulder and had a pain shooting down the back of my arm, into my elbow, and down to my two middle fingers on my right hand. It was so horrible some days that I was unable to sleep at night and could not stay in one position for very long during the day. I tried a sports therapist with deep tissue massage, pain medication, and even the chiropractor with electro-therapy and another set of massages and finally got an MRI. The chiropractor told me this was a chronic issue due to one of my vertebrae and that I would basically need to learn pain management techniques to cope with it.My husband suggested that we purchase our own electro-therapy device so I could use it at night before bedtime. At this point, I was willing to try anything. I had to have my husband apply the pads because of where the pain was located, but it was not hard at all. I liked that there were many different sizes of pads included in the package, letting me use different combinations to pinpoint where I wanted to apply the therapy. I used this for about an hour right before bed and after night three, I was able to sleep the entire night without being woke up from pain. I sit at a desk most of the day and the pain would return about mid-morning so I wore this to work (my husband applied the patches that morning and I wore it under my clothes) for two days. During meetings, I could discretely turn on the device and find relief.I'm happy to say that after about a week of using this machine every day, that I have now been pain free for about two and half weeks now. I have started back to yoga without any issues of a reoccurrence. My son has also used it to soothe his sore muscles after sports.I highly recommend this product to anyone with any kind of muscle pain. It is easy to use, portable, and it worked for me!

This EMS/TENS combo unit works nicely. Easy to use and despite being small, it still delivers a good amount of effective electrical stimulation to diminish pain, increase circulation, and produce intermittent muscle contraction, and relaxation.

This is my second tens unit. Would like to give it 3.5 stars instead of 4.Pros:COMES WITH EMS! (To build muscle- “weak muscles can cause other muscles to overcompensate”- according to my PT)4 ELECTRODE PAD PAIRS INCLUDED! (Which is GREAT compared to my last tens unit I bought that only came with 2!)ELECTRODE PADS ARE DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES!ONE LARGE PAD FOR NECK PAIN (I’m assuming- slight butterfly shape to it about 4” x 5”)VEERRRYY POWERFUL VIBRATIONS!! (Can be PAINFUL for some people!)DUAL PORTS FOR UP TO 4 ELECTRODES BEING USED AT ONE TIME SIMULTANEOUSLY!!USED APPROX 5 TIMES NOW AND PADS ARE STILL RELATIVELY STICKY (it helps if u stick them together so they don’t get dirty between uses and slowly pull them apart and also get them damp before use but BE CAREFUL AS THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS! DO IT WITH MACHINE TURNED OFF AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION LOLCONS:NO BACKLIGHT (can’t see in the dark- I use this when I wake up with muscle spams during the night so that sucks lol)REQUIRES MORE STEPS TO CHANGE FUNCTIONS COMPARED TO MY PREVIOUS (TENS ONLY) UNIT THAT I PAID $30 for..SHUTS OFF WITHIN 60 SECONDS APPROXIMATELY AFTER TURNING VIBRATIONS DOWN TO ZERO (which I do so I can reposition the electrodes- ANNOYING!)***CAUTION- DO NOT TRY TO MOVE ELECTRODES WHILE THE VIBRATIONS ON YOU WILL ZAP YOUR HANDS AND IT DOES NOOOOT FEEL GOOD (this applies to all units like this)****OVERALL:For $75 not SUPEEEEER IMPRESSED, BUUUT it DOES WORK AND HELPS ME With my muscle tension and pain, SO I’LL CONTINUE TO USE IT! Just wish it wasn’t so annoying or strong cause it hurts but that’s my personal preference (my other tens was almost too weak so I’m probably just being picky lol) Overall if there was one similar for around $50 I would probably repurchase it. Just a BIT PRICEY (IN MY UNASKED FOR OPINION) for being so annoying lol

I have another unit, a Maxtens 2000. It's a nice unit that works wonders. I got it through a Chiropractor for $120. The clip broke which is a nusence. I use these for arthitis, pain level 5. Aside from general relief it's nice on my knee for long trips where I can't move around. I fell a coulpe weeks ago and tore the muscles in my shoulder. The wires had broken internally on my Maxtens (lots of use), same as the iReliev cables. I got some more from Amazon for a few bucks and while I was at it broke down and bought a second TENS with more features. I wanted to be able to use two at once and have one at work.The first impression, is this baby small, half the size of the other one. I liked that it uses AAA batteries so I can use rechargables. I was spending a fortune on 9 volt batteries. The clip/holder is way better. I haven't had time to read the manual or try the EMS. Third impression, wow do these pads stick! It's my first experience with Butterfly pads, I guess I am ambivelent about that. My Maxtens has knobs to adjust the power, so when it comes on you are hit at the level you last used. Since the fall I have struggled to sleep because in a mater of a minute each new position becomes uncomfortable. I lay back and crank this baby on. I turn up the setting, which resets to zero for every mode or start up. I get up to 5 of 25. Wowzers! This little bugger has kick. One mode I could go to 11. I get to the first page in the manual where it recommends mode 8 for Arthritis. Fine let's try it. I crank to 10. This mode is a medley of sensations that constantly has you guessing. In no time I am back to 5 laying there watching my arm bounce around enjoying the relief, next thing I know I am waking up refreshed. This is the next best thing after the Gospel and my wife, and I have only tried half the settings. The engineer who programmed this does symphonies.
