There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I use this for my back and got it after purchasing and returning the Quell - Wearable Pain Relief - Starter Kit . The Quell promised so much but was so poorly made and infinitely more costly. My main pain comes from my lumbar and SI joints and hips and this TENS is absolutely a perfect form factor for this type of pain.
Comfortable, durable and affordable. Really soothing and it works well as part of a pain relief plan. On another note, I found replacement pads that are more generic and were much less expensive. I have not tried them yet ... but they look to be the same. Just generic.
If you are looking for some back pain relief, this is definitely worth a try. Easier to use than regular TENS units with wires and pads and a box ... nothing to get tangles here. Perfect!
Pros: It's compact and wireless and has many levels of intensity to choose from. Easy to use. I got 10+ uses out of the original pads by carefully applying the unit and then covering with plastic sheets and storing in the box after each use. if you are careful to not get the pads dirty you can get many more uses then noted. I've purchased the 'cheaper' replacement pads here on Amazon and they work well but I'm also happy to have seen the Aleve brand pads in my local chains stores so I could easily buy them quickly if necessary.
Cons: You are limited by its design to where you can use this—basically it's for lower backs only as far as i can see. Some of the competitive products with several conductivity pads (and wires) look like you could apply them to arms, legs, hips etc. and might be a better choice depending on your issue.
I was also able to use a $10 rebate on the manufacturer's site with my Amazon receipt as proof of purchase which practically made it a steal.
I read some of the negative reviews and I can't see that they apply. First the gel pads. Yes they feel gooey but that's need for the unit to adhere to your back.They leave no residue on your back. Instructions say you can use them 2-5 times. I'm on about 10 times and they still look and work like new. Once your done they must be covered up with the plastic sheet they came in. Otherwise they will get dirty and fail to work. So that's not a problem. Another review states they couldn't get it to work. The instructions say to press the small button on the unit, wait for the green light to flash THEN apply it to your back. (I didn't do it the first time and thought it wasn't working). Then press the on button on the remote.
My only negative thought is the cost of the replacement gel pads. It reminds me of buying an inexpensive printer only to find out the cost of the ink LOL.
If you have back problems you can't go wrong.
I've tried several different TENS devices, and all are effective. The main question becomes one of convenience and dependability. The wireless remote with the Aleve is a huge advantage, eliminating the need for two-to-four entangling and bothersome wires. But there are questions about long-term, continuous use.:
1. The remote is small, made to slip on to a keychain. Will you be able to find it when it's needed most?
2. The device itself is heavy, made of the thickest rubber I've seen on a tens machine. Claims that it can be used throughout the day, while working and playing, seem dubious--unless you have with you extra conductive pads along with the conductive glues used to stick them to the human anatomy. Even then, excessive activity along with perspiration are likely to loosen the butterfly-shaped device from a "human back" that's diligently active.
3. The device will no doubt be most practical when used as the instructions suggest: take time for a 30-minute session while resting. Run it on high for 5 minues; then low for the next 20; then 5 to close out your session. Keep the number of daily sessions to a minimum--and don't forget the extra pads and glue. (I prefer Parker's conductive AND adhesive glue).
4. The remote requires the pairing of two active batteries--one on the device itself, and one in the remote. No doubt, owners will, at various times, experience the same sorts of problems that make Bluetooth pairing so dicey at times. When it works, everything seems automatic. As a result, I'm completely stumped when it doesn't work.
Here's the "right" sequence for reviving an uncooperative TENS device : 1. Simultaneously depress the + and - button on the remote for approx. 5 seconds, or until a stable green light appears. 2. Unscrew the back of the butterfly flap (with a tiny Phillips, like the one that's included) and replace the batteries with two new AAA batteries, making sure you align positive and negative ends of the batteries as shown in the directions inside the battery chamber 3. Screw the battery cover back on, maximize the conductivity of the two pads on the flaps--either by replacing the old pads with new pads or by applying a conductive, adhesive gel to the flaps; 4. Press the button on the TENS device. It should flash, slowly, on and off. If repeated pushing of the button produces no light whatsoever, your batteries are bad or misaligned (in terms of the direction of positive and negative ends) or the TENS device is broken. 5. Assuming that the TENS device (the butterfly flaps) is blinking on and off, return to your remote switch and press on the + button until reaching the intensity you prefer.
That's it. The Aleve device won't last forever, but it's sturdier and more dependable than anything else I've tried--wired or wireless. And it provides a stronger current that most of the others--but not strong enough to burn the skin (which I've experienced with the unit employing green patches).
If you don't mind the wires, the Omron TENS machine is probably the most practical and reliable. (However, there are similar machines (from Hong Kong) that cost less. The ICY HOT patch (modeled on TV by Shaq O'Neal) I found to be the weakest among the current big 3 (Omron, Icy Hot and Aleve). In the past my preference has been for the tiny, lightweight TENS devices that permit attachment of the entire unit--including patch and batteries--directly to parts of the body. But they have to be cheap enough to permit purchase of several such devices at a time. (And I've found the cheap "mini-TENS" from the maker that uses green patches to be dicey--as though they've been in storage past their natural life. In fact, those green TENS devices exhibit poor quality control--capable of "frying" human skin on one occasion and proving inoperative on another.
Almost all TENS devices wear out regularly and require replacement. Moreover, the user will eventually tire of that electronic vibration and consequent muscular contraction. It's smart to take a break from them every few weeks, and then come back to them. Though they work, I'm not one to buy the "science." They're effective, imo, largely because they produce a "distraction" from the pain--much like the adrenaline spurts that are experienced during times of stress.
In the meantime, the Aleve TENS device is definitely on the way to a wireless tens device that can actually be worn throughout the day. Though the lack of new development in TENS machines and gadgets (which now occupy a shelf at Walgreen's, which is a far cry from the days when they were hard to elusive and quasi-legal) suggests that consumer demand has slackened--perhaps to the point of making R&D money wasted by the maker. They're probably a "novelty," but so are the dozens of over-priced creams containing "natural" cooling or heating or numbing properties (I just can't bring myself to buy a product--Blue Emu--that requires the farming and slaughter of these giant, Ostrich-like creatures). At least TENS machines produce a verifiable stimulus with proven symptomatic relief. All of the others (including rubbing aspirin products on the skin or 4% lidocaine) are, imy, primarily psychosomatic in their effectiveness (if any). Of course, you make an appointment with your doctor for a prescription for a creme containing 5% lidocaine (4% is the maximum permitted in over-the-counter anagelsics).. You'll go to more bother and expense--and for very little gain--(in lidocaine OR freedom from pain), but sometimes these emollients are more effective when we're assured they're prescribed by professionals just for us special patients.
