TENS Unit is almost risk-free from harm, there is no side effects or addiction. The low-volt electrical current carried by the electrodes only penetrates the skin to the level of the nerve fibers, typically only one to two inches.

A TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit is a medical device used for pain relief by sending electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin. While some individuals may use TENS units for sexual pleasure, it is important to note that this is not their intended use and can pose risks such as skin irritation, burns, or interference with underlying medical conditions.

What is a tens unit?

Electrodes are attached to the machine TENS unit and you place these on the area that is in pain, usually on muscles that are tight or have a knot. I use mine on my neck and back muscles. The units' electrodes stimulates blood flow to that area and relieves the pain through electrical pulses that you can regulate the intensity from weak to strong or slow to fast. I would also like to add that I used my TENS unit on a 100 lb labrador dog who had knots in his shoulder. I did massage with my hands but that did little to ease his pain. After consulting with a veterinarian, I was given the go ahead to use it on the dog. I stress caution when doing this. DO NOT turn the unit up too high. Very slowly and gradually turn the dial up until the dog feels it and he/she will let you know by looking in the direction of the eclectrodes. DO NOT leave the electrodes on the same spot for more than 10 to 20 mins. at a time. As far as I know veterinarians don't promote using a TENS unit but I thought if it was good enough for me, then why not try it on the dog. BINGO! A success!
