How many uses can I get from the pads?

An average user will get approximately 10-15 uses per pack of the electrodes included with the Twin Stim III, depending on how frequently they are used and for how long, as well as the user's skin type. Once the adhesive gel wears off, you can simply discard the electrodes and begin with a new pack of pads, but note that each unit comes standard with only one pack of four individual electrodes.

Are you able to customize/change the TENS and EMS settings to your own preferences?

YES! The Twin Stim III has 4 different adjustable modes for TENS, and 3 different adjustable modes for EMS, that can each be set to your own preference.

Is this device FDA approved?

Yes, the InTENSity Twin Stim III is FDA 510K-approved.

Are you able to use the EMS and TENS modes at the same time with this unit? Or is it one mode or the other and you can only switch between the two modes?

The Twin Stim III only allows a user to run a TENS therapy treatment, OR EMS, at one time, not both simultaneously. You can only switch from one or the other.

Can you use the AC adapter with a normal battery in the unit at the same time? Will it drain the battery while using the AC adapter?

Yes, you can use the unit with the AC Adapter, while a battery is inside the device as well. If plugged in, the AC Adapter will simply bypass the battery and power the device that way.

I travel overseas a lot. Is the unit/AC adaptor dual voltage so that it can be used overseas at 220v?

Yes! The AC Adapter for our InTENSity devices are 120v/240v, so they may indeed be used overseas with a 220v outlet.

What unit and accessories should I get for Tennis Elbow? What size pads, etc.?

Unfortunately, since we do not staff doctors here, we can not suggest specific electrotherapy treatments. We highly recommend first consulting with a doctor/medical professional about your particular case, and if they recommend an electrotherapy treatment for you, such as TENS, EMS, Interferential, Russian Stim, etc., then we can certainly better assist in helping you select the right device for your needs.

Can this unit be used on the face for TMJ?

It is generally not recommended to use an electrotherapy treatment on the face, but please always consult with a doctor/medical professional prior to considering such a treatment, to see if it is right for you. For TMJ, you may also want to ask specifically about Microcurrent vs. TENS vs. EMS.

Does this unit come with electro sticky pads?

Yes, every electrotherapy device we carry comes standard with a pack of 4 electrodes inside of the carrying case to get you started. You can refer to the Product Description on this page to see all items/accessories that come included in each package. We always recommend that you consider stocking up though whenever purchasing a new unit since the electrodes will be the #1 thing you will ever have to replace in time.

Is this unit recommended for wrist and finger extension post stroke?

We recommend first consulting with a doctor/trained medical professional to see if an electrotherapy treatment such as TENS or EMS would be a good fit for your particular case. If so, then all we can do is help provide more technical sort of information as it relates to our items. Feel free to browse our selection, and if you have any specific questions, you can always give us a call or send us an email and we will be happy to assist further in any way we can.

EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. You should always consult with a doctor/medical professional first to see if an electrotherapy treatment, such as EMS, is right for you.

Does this unit have a belt clip on the back?

Yes, each unit comes standard with a removable belt clip attached.

Questions and Answers

The InTENSity Twin Stim™ III is a portable electrotherapy device featuring two therapeutic modes: TENS & EMS therapy, which are used for pain relief and muscle stimulation. The unit is among the upper echelon of pain relief devices, with a maximum output of 105mA, and it also comes standard with an AC Adapter and removable belt clip for easy, at-home use and convenience.

Relieve your pain by using the TENS Mode.

TENS is a non-invasive, drug free method to control your pain by sending tiny electrical impulses through the skin. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate pain.

Strengthen your muscles by using the EMS Mode.

EMS is widely used in hospitals and sports clinics to treat muscle injuries, to re-educate paralyzed muscles, and to prevent atrophy in affected muscles.

Cost-effective!

I bought this product after having been diagnosed with shoulder impingement. I use TENS for pain management, and EMS for strenghtening muscles around the shoulder. I have benefited appreciably. My physio confirmed that the parameters in a pretty acceptable range, and they do not have to be as sophisticated as their devices' have. I would recommend this product. I could add that the pads last more than 10 uses as long as they are applied over a precleaned skin.

It works for me!

In the several weeks that I've owned the "InTENSity Twin Stim III Digital TENS & EMS Combo Unit" I've found it to be a very useful and high quality device. However, a few weeks after I bought it, I also bought a "Twin Stim Plus 3rd Edition - 4 Channel Digital TENS, EMS, IF & Russian Unit" and if you don't mind spending the extra money, you also get "IF" which I've found to be quite a bit better than just TENS alone. I highly recommend both units. The IF offers more pain relief than just the TENS but it requires at least 2 channels (4 electrodes) in a cross configuration, so depending on the location of the pain, you can't always use it but in most cases you can still use the TENS. If you have pain and haven't tried a TENS and/or IF unit... what are you waiting for?

I have chronic shoulder pain due to impingement and tendonitis, with occasional flare ups in pain. After using this product a few times my pain has been greatly reduced. The effectiveness of this TENS unit is comparable to what was used on me during physical therapy. I especially like that you can adjust the pair of electrodes independently with regard to intensity. I also chose this unit because you can both use AC power or batteries. This saves on batteries when I am using the unit at home while sitting on the couch.

Intensity TwinStim

This TENS unit has provided me with substantial relief from radiculopathy associated with spinal nerve compression. While it doesn't cure or completely relieve the discomfort, it does reduce it and make more tolerable. It is not a treatment, but another pain management tool for my toolkit. 4 stars, rather than 5 because it took me a bit to figure out how to use the settings; the instructions could have been simpler.

End User

Very satisfied with my tens unit. Wall adapter connection to unit seems a little fragile but works fine. Be sure to wash and dry your skin where you intend to place electrodes so they will stay on correctly. When you peel the electrodes off, pull near the wire with a slow steady pull. Once off wipe sticky side quickly with an alcohol wipe, let it dry then place back on the plastic sheet. This will extend the life of the pads.
