What's the difference between tens and ems? Isn't it the same? Which is the strongest, under $50?

TENS and EMS are two different forms of electrotherapy. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) targets the nerves to block pain signals to the brain. It is essentially used for pain relief for a plethora of different conditions. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is a different form of therapy that targets the muscles to passively contract and relax. It is meant for muscle rehabilitation and re-education. The InTENSity 10, here, is only a TENS unit, however we do also have combination devices available that allow the use of more than one form of electrotherapy.

Does this come with two leads. Is it able to do 2 leads with a total of 4 pads?

Yes, the unit comes standard with 2 sets of lead wires, one for each channel. You can use either 2 electrodes at a time on one channel, or 4 at a time with both channels.

In all the pre set modes, is 13 the highest intensity level you can go to? Or is each mode higher than 14 level? By the way I love my intensity10. 110%+ better than tens 3000!

The InTENSity 10 can go up to 105mA. If yours keeps re-setting after going up to around 13mA or so, then this is part of a security feature indicating that the electrodes are not meeting a complete current so the unit is dropping the output back down to prevent the user from getting shocked. Make sure the electrodes are placed about 2-3 inches apart, and this should solve the problem. If there are additional issues, kindly give us a call during our regular business hours and we will be happy to assist further.

Are the cloth electrodes what are used to attach to skin? Are they reusable?

Yes, the electrodes are the pads that you would place on your skin. They all come with the adhesive gel already on the pad and most users will generally get about 10-15 uses per pack until the gel wears off, at which point you can simply discard them and begin using new pads.

If you have a battery in the unit and choose to use the AC adapter, will this override the battery? Do any harm to the unit? I could not find any info on this in the instruction manual.

Yes, plugging in the AC Adapter with a 9V battery still inside will simply bypass the battery and power the device with the adapter instead. There will be no harm to any of the supplies in either scenario.

mA used to go as high as I needed. Now when I go over 11, it drops back to 0. What is happening? How can I get mA to go above 11?

The unit has a safety feature to detect when a complete electrical current is not made, then it will automatically reset the output in order to prevent the user from accidentally injuring themselves. To remedy this, make sure the electrodes are no more than about 2-3 inches apart from one another, and are making full contact with the skin.

The InTENSity 10 is about the size of a modern day smartphone, just a little bit thicker, and comes standard with a removable belt clip, so yes, it is indeed portable.

Is this unit powered by a 120v ac power cord or the 9v battery it says come with the unit?

The InTENSity AC Adapter features an input of 100-240V, so it will be compatible with any outlet in that range and work almost anywhere in the world.

Is the unit cordless? Shipping time to Florida, and how long will pads last?

With the exception of the lead wires necessary to connect to the electrodes, and optional AC power adapter, then yes, the unit is cordless. Shipping time and cost varies by courier service, geographical distance, and weight of the package. USPS and UPS commit to delivery within 1-5 business days for standard shipping. As for our electrodes, with proper care, one pack can typically be re-used about 10-15 times before the adhesive gel begins to dry up and lose its effectiveness, depending on user skin type and length of treatment. At that point, you can just discard those pads and begin treatment using a new pack.

For knee pain are there electrodes that go on the knee? Is InTENSity 10 ready to use complete with electrodes?

Yes, you can feel free to browse our full selection of electrodes on our website separately, all of which will work just fine with the InTENSity 10. We carry many different shapes and sizes, so for a smaller and more targeted area like the knee, you may want to consider a generally smaller size pad.

How many times per day should you use for lower back pain?

For specific treatments, please consult with your doctor/medical professional. All patients/users have different needs. We can only assist with more technical questions related to the items, but we do not staff doctors here, and thus, can not make medical recommendations.

Is this the EMPI Select model?

The InTENSity 10 is made by a completely different manufacturer, but it is very comparable to the EMPI Select.

How long is this on sale? Do you have to use 4 electrodes at once or can you use just 2? Do you sell the larger electrodes as well? What price are they and what quantity?

This unit will be on sale for the rest of this month, and yes you must use at least 2 pads at a time, and can use up to 4. We have a large variety of electrodes in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Feel free to browse through our selection at your own leisure.

Does this unit come ready to use? What's in the box?

Please refer to the product description for full details of the item, including all supplies that come standard with each package.

Do you know how well this works for neuropathy in feet from diabetes?

For specific cases, we highly recommend consulting with your doctor/medical professional first to see if an electrotherapy treatment is right for you. If a treatment such as TENS is approved, then we can provide you with some more information regarding particular units, but we can not make recommendations for particular ailments, as we do not employ doctors here.

What are the 10 Pre-Selected Pain Areas? Thanks

Please refer to the product description for full details about the item, including the treatment programs for each body part featured on the device.

Does this device have a belt clip?

The InTENSity 10 does come with a plastic belt clip on the unit for easy portable use. Replacement belt clips for InTENSity devices are also available, and sold separately.

i swelling in my wrist fingers and pain in elbow, knees and shoulers. will your tensity10 would be of any help for this. if yes, how much. is ther any money back gurantee if it doesn't?

The InTENSity 10 is a great choice for the issues you have described in your question. This unit has 10 preset body parts, in which the wrist, elbow, knee and shoulder all happen to be 4 of the 10 body parts that it does accommodate. The price for this unit is $39.95 plus shipping and handling to your location. Unfortunately, we do not have a money back guarantee but the product does come with a one year manufacturer's warranty and we offer a 30 day return policy you can find listed under Shipping and Returns on our home page.

Does the unit come with a belt clip so I can use it while moving around?

Yes! The InTENSity 10 does come with a removable belt clip included, for your convenience. Replacement belt clips are also available for individual sale.

Do you HAVE to use the pre sets? Can you set the pulse rates etc. manually?

For the InTENSity 10, there is no option to set specific settings such as the Pulse Rate, Pulse Width, etc. on your own. You can only use the ten different clinically-tested, preset body part settings, and this is meant for ease-of-use. Variables that CAN be changed, though, are the intensity of the stimulation, as well as the timer function.

WHERE CAN I GET THIS PRODUCT?

Unfortunately we are an online only retailer and we do not have any physical retail store locations. You can order this product online only from our company.

Does this have to be plugged in?

The InTENSity 10 comes with a Free AC Adapter so that you can plug it into your wall socket at your own leisure and for your own convenience. It can also run on a standard 9 volt battery, and each unit comes with both 1x battery and 1x Adapter. Please note, though, that the AC Adapter does not charge the battery as well. It simply bypasses the battery so that the unit can run off the socket as well, if you wish.

Digital TENS Unit

The InTENSity 10 Digital TENS Unit is one of the most popular stimulating units in the InTENSity premium digital device family. This device comes equipped with 10 pre-set, clinically-tested, pain-relieving TENS treatment programs, organized by different body parts, making it one of the easiest, and most effective, TENS devices available on the market today. With the press of 2 buttons, the device is ready to operate effectively based on the area of the body being treated, with a customized treatment program based on clinical research protocols.

Free AC power adapter, and removable belt clip, also come included with the device for effective therapy on the go.

Explanation of TENS:
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, or TENS, is a non-invasive, drug-free method of controlling pain. It uses small electrical impulses sent through the skin to stimulate the nerves in an affected area of the body to modify your pain perception. It is important to note that TENS is not a cure for any physiological ailment, but rather just a means of controlling pain. TENS will not necessarily work for every user's particular set of needs, and exact results will always vary for each individual, but for most users, it is very effective in reducing, or eliminating pain altogether, allowing for a return to normal, every day activity.

A TENS unit, such as the InTENSity 10, is often recommended to be used for the relief of chronic intractable pain, acute post-traumatic pain, acute post-surgical pain, and arthritic pain, among other conditions.

This TENS unit is the best thing I have ever used on my back. I don't think many people are aware that this "miracle" exists, but it saved me during this time of social isolation when my back went out! I have been recommending it to all of my friends and even bought one for my dad. I use it whenever I feel even a little back pain and it solves my issues before they get worse.

Works great for me

The belt clip makes this very handy. It does everything I could expect from it, and the electrodes last quite a while if cared for. I bought extras and have not used them yet. This does a great job of relieving nerve pain. Having four electrodes let’s me place two on the lower back and two on the affected area of the leg. One thing that could be better is if the two sets of electrodes could be set for two different body areas, but hey, this is a 40$ unit. I am more than satisfied. I would recommend it to anyone, better than the drug store units. I tried then first. And the shipping was ultra fast as well.

The reason for 4 stars and not 5 was because my TENS case was severely damaged during delivery. On the other hand I am impressed that the unit did come with a carry case at all and the unit was protected. The unit itself has power to spare and knocked out back pain in one session. I feel bad that I had previously purchased a slightly lower priced unit at the local drug store. They were under powered toys compared to this one. The pad connectors are compatible with standard TENS pads compared to the proprietary connections of the above mentioned 'toys'.

This unit is plenty strong enough. Much stronger than the icy hot smart relief. It can get a little uncomfortable going past half power. The only thing I wish it did is to pulsate like the icy hot unit. I was hoping for a setting that works like a massage. The only thing the settings do is fade the intensity in and out. The setting for lower back is best, but it's more like a quick 'buzzing' feeling. It did relieve and help heal the lower ligaments in my back. Like I said, the only disappointment is the variance between the settings.
