I am experiencing a lot of back and leg pain. I have a TENS machine but it is quite old. I am thinking of getting a new one (if it looks better than the one I already have.) The one I have is a NeuroTrac Rehab. Does anyone know of a good machine I can research.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
The old device still works. But given the pain I am in. I thought that there may be something better out there with more pads or perhaps some very large pads. I am finding that I use it and then have to move the pads to do another area. You are probably right. I will ask the physio or chiro for ideas.
You might be able to purchase larger pads for your current machine. If that's what you need you might also need to buy larger pads for the new machine
OK. I didn't think of that. I will check that out. Thank you for your assistance.
Just did a mega search for you on tens.
The one I have is Omron 128. Bought from crazysales under $80 now only see min $150 delivered.
Thank you for doing that for me. I appreciate it.
Spotted this.

I thank each of you for taking the time to respond to my post. I will try to get some larger pads for my current TENS machine. I desperately need to cover as much area as possible. If I cannot find anything that fits my machine, I will get a new one that will hold the larger pads.
I thank you again for your advice.
Hello I'm a physio, have used TENS quite a lot in the public health system and all the places I've worked have used the neutrac system so if its worked for you, maybe just upgrade to the latest model :)
Thank you. Can you let me know which model is the latest. I will keep it in mind if it has extra features that may help me. Thanks again.
This is one of the latest models

To be honest, there isn't usually a huge difference between models in terms of functions - it just looks fancier!
The main advice I would give to anyone using TENS long term is to keep changing modes to stop the body from getting used to it - continuous mode often feels great to begin with but its effect can die down quicker, so I usually say try a bit of burst/pulsed mode in between
Good luck with it all.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XHNBLU early last year. Works well and still going strong
Thank you OldBugger for taking the time to respond to me.
No worries! Hope it helped
Try the comffit over at tens machine. I just checked and its on sale. A friend loaned this same one to me and does the job. That reminds me, I need to give it back to him! :)
Ask your physiotherapist. S/he is mot likely to know your circumstances and recommend an appropriate device. I wouldn't recommend seeking such advice of Ozbargain as its to do with your wellbeing.
Did you try replacing the leads on your old device?
