What should you know about ultima 5 tens unit?

TENS means transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The device sends controlled pulses between adhesive electrode pads. People usually feel tingling rather than a sharp sensation. It may reduce how strongly pain signals are experienced for a period, but it does not identify or repair the cause of pain. The response varies by person and by the condition being treated.

Read the device instructions and check the pads, leads, battery, and skin before use. Place pads on clean, intact skin near the painful area as directed by a clinician or the manual; never place them over broken, infected, numb, or irritated skin. Start at a low intensity and increase only to a comfortable tingling. Turn the unit off before moving pads, and remove it if burning, painful stimulation, or a rash develops. Keep it away from water unless the device is specifically designed for that setting.

Stop using the unit and seek advice for persistent skin redness, blistering, burns, new weakness, or worsening pain. Ask a clinician before use if you have an implanted electrical device, reduced sensation, a seizure disorder, are pregnant, or are unsure where pads belong. Do not use TENS to delay assessment of severe or unexplained pain.

Is TENS suitable for my pain? Where should the pads go? Which intensity and session length should I try? Are there areas, medicines, or implanted devices that make it unsuitable for me?
