AccuRelief Wireless TENS Unit with Remote Control, TENS Pain Relief Device and Muscle Stimulator, for Back Pain, Neck Pain, Arm and Leg Pain

I love this product, I love the fact that it is wireless so no fumbling around with wires when you need to set it up. When you have achy muscles and need a relief. This is great, I used to use this type of machine at a chiroprators office now I can do it at home. If you want to help your achy muscles and do not want to use medications for it. Try this. I loved this so much I bought another one just so my brother wouldn't steal mine and says he just "borrowing" it. You can adjust the levels and go up as high or as low as you need.

I found this TENS unit from my ex-girlfriend. She had spine injury and had been using it for a while now. She let me use it on my neck on my back on my sore muscles and it's the best I could have ever imagined. It's powerful yet small and compact you can literally feel the contractions. It works extremely well. I would recommend this TENS unit to anyone with sore muscles or for whatever reason you need it. I originally purchased a different unit but it wasn't as powerful as this one. I recommend buying rechargeable batteries as it would be cheaper in the long run than buying regular batteries. Super satisfied with my purchase. Will recommend to anyone needing a TENS unit.

TENS has really been helping my acute sciatica, but after a while I got sick of the wires, especially because the connectors would get loose & come off & then I would get a shock. This amazingly inexpensive but solidly made little thing solves the wire problem. Unfortunately, the way it does that is to make each of the 2 stick-on pads have their own receiving unit, so they are heavy. This in turn means the pads have to have Gorilla Glue on them so they stay stuck. That part works-- they do stay stuck. Unfortunately, so does the stickem stay behind on your skin when you try to remove them. The residue is yucky & even alcohol doesn't remove it all the first time. Also, there is only one program, two different patterns in sequence. You can't customize it at all, & I miss that feature, which even the cheapest wired unit has.

I've gone through at least ten different TENS machines since discovering them about 15 years ago. They were effective but also complicated with 4 wires and 4 electrodes along with jargon-inscribed controls and needless dials and needles in addition to numerous cautionaries and a padded carrying case. None of them lasted long (not over a year) due to breaking, shorting and shocking problems, misplacement of a critical part, etc. But I kept looking for more affordable as well as more user-friendly and less-conspicuous versions. Then, in the last 5 years the devices went mainstream, appearing on Walgreen's shelves, still overpriced but not outrageously so. Omron was first (a simple, no-nonsense, effective device) followed by ICY HOT (despite its outsized mascot Shaq O'Neal, these offered convenience but not much power, with the battery unit installed on the patch itself). Finally, Aleve came to market with an impressive, competitively priced remote control model. The electrode itself was relatively large and heavy, making it difficult to conceal under clothing. Hence, I decided to look for something else before returning to any of the aforementioned three, and the ideal combination that came to mind was a remote-controlled, smaller and lighter version of the Aleve. Enter the AcuRelieve Wireless. Is it the answer? I'm afraid not, but it's clearly an encouraging step in that direction. The problem I had with it is that both times I've used it, I've been left with burns--leaving big red blotches on my skin (still visible after 2 weeks. I even tried using it on the calf, like the Quell unit, but ended up with anti-biotic ointment and bandages for the burns to my skin. Previously, I had been able to sense when a device was about singe me. With the AccuRelief I was surprised that, after a short and relatively mild session, i was unfit for public display without covering my reddened skin.
