They WORK! I used it religously before knee replacement, would totally remove pain after over doing things. It's not a cure, but helps.

I found mine several years ago at the Harrisburg PA outdoor show, they were doing demo's and my knee was KILLING me after walking on the cement floor for several hours. told the lady if it worked, I'd buy it. She hooked it up, it was like night and day after 5 minutes, told her if it lasted a while, I'd be back at the end of the day to buy it. 3 hours later, still no pain, bought it.

I woke up a few years ago with a drop foot. Long story short, but when I went in for rehab they used a TENS machine on my leg to keep my muscles from atrophy, with hopes that the damaged nerve would come back and I'd still have muscle left in my leg. It worked and I still have the TENS machine and I usually use it on my back and my wife's back, any time when end up in a bind and need muscles to relax.

As a side note, this is not a new concept. My brother used to be into antiques in a big way, always going to auctions, junk stores, whatever. He once brought home a hand-cranked version, wooden-cased, looked like it was from sometime 1889's to 1930's.

Thanks for any and all clarification.


Yes they work but the newer models are more effective for sure. Now as for muscle building I can only think of three bodybuilders who experimented with an electrical stimulator and it was one that could crank out some amps. They were Mike Mentzer, Casey Viator and Boyer Coe, under the guidance of Author Jones, inventor of the Nautilus training equipment. They made some fantastic gains but they were also taking anabolics so....


MAGA! This is the way!

I was out for 6 months with a back injury at work.
They used them at physical therapy.

HWave is the unit the bought for me. $400 a month to rent ....something like that.

They said to turn it up to just below pain. You can watch my foot jump on pulse.

You can also just use a steady voltage.

At therapy one time they got a new unit. The dials were reversed to turn it up.

The girl went to turn it down to take it off and turned it up instead.

Sweet Jesus .....all I could mumble was OTHER WAY.....OTHER WAY........it will fry you.

Yes. They work. I could have had surgery to get rid of pain immediately.......I had to use a walker.

Did the PT instead and the HWave. 2 spinals(the fewer the better.....not so good for you) and I am back to 100%....and no surgery.

If I get stupid and overdo it.......HWave time. Or if I over work and hurt. 67 and getting slower.

They work.
