So over the last couple of weeks, Santa Medical has sent me 3 medical TENS Units, to try out and to write about for you guys. The amazing thing is that they work!! I never even knew that something like this existed until I was given the opportunity to review them at a discounted price.
So first off, here are the ones I received for my review:
- (29.95)Tens Unit Handheld Electronic Pulse Massage (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TOJ948)
- (38.95) Santamedical PM-180 Tens Unit Electronic Pulse Massager with 8 Modes (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XQIKEAE)
- (34.95) Santamedical PM-120 Tens Unit Electronic Pulse Massager with 6 Modes (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XQIEKHC)
And they are listen in the order of "betterness". Yes, beleive it or not, the one which is least expensive is also the best.
So what are these exactly, what do they do, and how do they work?
Well it's simple. Their purpose is to releive pain. You simply attach some electrodes to the part of your body which is in pain, hook them up to the main meter, and then start the automatic mode, typically for 15 minutes. And then you watch the magic. Pain poof!
Rapid signals are send, kinda like heartbeats, again and again to your body, and that is what causes your pain to temporarily go away, or subdue to a great extent. Honestly guys, I would highly recommend you all to at least try them out.
I prefer the hand held one more than anything else because the electrodes are smaller. Much smaller, about half as small as the other two. The upside to that is that since there is a smaller area to cover, the machine works much better at controlling, and (now this is what I have felt) releives pain better. Now this isn't certified to work on everyone, however, I have given two of the three sets which I received to freinds and they have tried it on themselves, with fantastic results as well.
