How To Choose the Right TENS Therapy Unit

Choosing the right TENS therapy unit to help treat your chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain can be a little overwhelming.

From our wireless Pro Touch 6-12 to our XPDS 4 | 24, we have the right TENS therapy units to help you relieve and alleviate pain, even on the go. If you’re unfamiliar with TENS therapy units though, you may have a lot of questions about what exactly TENS units do and how to choose the right TENS therapy unit.

What are TENS units

TENS is short for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy. This is a kind of physical therapy that uses electrical impulses to help treat pain. TENS units are effectively used to block pain messages being sent to your brain, increase the release of endorphins, and improve blood circulation. All of which can help you feel less pain while you recover from short-term and chronic pain.

A Look at HiDow Tens Units

Let’s look a little closer at a few of HiDow’s best-selling TENS units.

Acu XP Micro

The First HiDow Unit that we are looking at is the Acu XP Micro. This device is a perfect entry model for new users who are unfamiliar with the technology but who want to take their pain relief seriously. The Acu XP Micro offers the main therapy treatments with a few extras and still has a dual output for larger or multiple treatment areas. As its name implies, it’s an ideal device for on-the-go use and treatment.

Wireless Pro Touch 6-12

The Pro-Touch 6-12 gives you the core 12 modes for fitness, mobility, and pain relief while allowing you not to use it on the go. The Pro-Touch 6-12 can run up to 6 receivers at a time to give you the most efficient treatment. You can take it on the go and use it as your exercise, at work, or wherever your lifestyle takes you.

The Verdict?

The reality is that there are different models available for different uses. If you are always on the go and would like the convenience of pain relief while you are on the go, then a wireless TENS unit such as the Pro Touch 6-12 may be perfect for you. On the other hand, if you are relatively new to the world of TENS therapy and you are looking for a base model that is easy to use and actually works, then you may be more inclined to pick up the Acu XP Micro.

Whichever model you decide to use, you know that you are getting only the highest quality TENS therapy device that has been trusted by professional athletes and organizations.
