What makes it better than one of these: Digital Therapy Machine - Great Pain Reliever !!! 8 Modes / 4 Pads
1414281
All models include the frequent use of 6 modes. However you can use 8 modes or 12 modes with 2 pads or 4 pads for more options to treat different conditions.

My husband prefers the one w/ cords because he can place the pads directly where the pain is. W/ this one it's limited to the span of the device. But if your pain is on either side of your spine - then it does work great.

I can't go past level 2! this is very powerful little unit! I have noticed that I noticed some improvement each day, after using it for about a week, I was pain free! so I just use it once in the evening before bed for 20 minutes to keep me pain free.

I'm not sure. I had to return it because we needed a dual stimulator. Tens is for pain only. The one we purchased is for pain & muscle movement.

don't know cause' I only have this one......I can tell you this is worth the money if you are like me and love "hand massages"....lots less expensive, too....I only wish it provided more pressure than it does....I really like deep/strong pressure...still, it satisfies.....bb

Oooh! I didn't realize there's an advanced Lastics out!! I will be buying. I don't know what you'll think of the first one; you may want to buy both or just start with advanced. I have some hip, knee, back and neck issues and find the first one very helpful in self care and between between chiro adjustments- it feels super therapeutic to me, not like an aggressive, rapid stretch routine workout like advanced yoga routines or aspects of pilates routines.

I am guessing they are using one continual circuit for both sets of pads rather than true individual circuits, thus whichever side it hits first is going to feel stronger. The second side will have lost a lot of the voltage over the drop from traveling between the first set of pads over your skin. Real machines in the medical industry cost much more for a reason.

OK, for me I had from waist down back pain, stiffness and terrible aching. My very lower spine felt as if it was fused. I started off abt waistline, then kept moving it down after the 20 mins.. Then I moved over my back pelvic bone (injuries from car accident) and worked that area. I kept this up for several hours. The areas I worked on after the 20 mins were pretty much pain free afterwards for a day or two. But I worked it hard to catch my nerve pathway, Google for illustration. In a month I have only had a couple of episodes of real step stopping pain. My lower back is now loose again and I have much more flexibility. It depends on your source of pain so you will have to judge that for yourself. I use this every day, especially after doing physical work. I no longer am kept awake from discomfort/pain. So for me it really stops the pain for days as long as I keep at it. I have a friend who has a different unit which has 4 pads and she runs her just about all the time. She is so happy to no longer to be on narcotics. She has super severe nerve damage from an illness. I just wish I had known about this unit years ago...would have had a better quality of life. I plan on buying another unit in the future with more pads. This Homedic unit is amazing and convenient device with no battery pack to carry around. Hope this helps.

In terms of price to bang for the buck, this is better. The "new" Proteus is more programmable. The best mind machine I have ever had is made by Excalibur, called the 'activator' - wow that was a rollercoaster ride. I use the Proteus in USR mode most often, and kick it to the Schumann resonance for my planetary peace meditations. The chopra device is also great, and so is the John David equipment. It is such a niche market that there is no crap out there except for one machine which I forget the name of that was like Zany Zappers in reverse. If the proteus is too pricey look for a 'Procyon' on sale. Very similar for basic work, minus programmability. I have communicated briefly with the inventor of this machine and he is a gifted and earnest liberator of the spirit. I have shared a few interesting ideas with him and hope to see them soon, including a "Schumann" meditation with a ferquency increase. Be well.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know. I'm not sure it relieves pain at all I bought the device for my sister in another state, and she has not had anything good to say about it.

I didn't get the pain-less pro model. I got Omron electroTHERAPY Pain Relief Device PM3030 These pads are the button type connection. There are a couple of sizes and these pass do not work with this model. Check size before buying a lot, I also bought Tens Handheld Electronic Pulse Massager Unit this uses a much nicer connection and cheaper pads.

Not sure which model, checked entire unit and nothing..... Not even serial number to look up. I will check to see if I have manual tomorrow.Unit 2 yrs old still like new and works awesome. Super durable.Thought bottom pad would wear out but hasn't even come close to showing any wear.Just bought a TENS unit from Hi Dow company and like it better. Isolates problem area better and can use it alone.Both are chiropractic grade. Any other Questions just shoot.

Sina, I purchased one of these for my wife 6 months ago in response to pain she was having with her feet (associated with walking a lot for exercise and issues with bunions). The unit is sturdy, puts out A LOT of vibration at the max setting, and did seem to help provide short-term relief. It is a vibrating unit, not a massaging unit. She ended up getting shots (Cortesone I'm thinking) in each foot that provided much greater and lasting relief, but still uses this unit on occasion. No regrets on the purchase and at least for my wife's issues it delivered on what we were looking for. Also has proven to be of much higher quality than the reviews I saw on many of the lower cost units.

Pain that lasts more that a week or two should be checked by a Doctor first. I have chronic back pain which radiates to my left hip and knee. I find that this does give me some relief. Using the tens unit is very relaxing and that is always good for pain. Depending on what is causing your pain the unit may be helpful to you too. It is certainly worth a try. I love my unit and use it nightly before I go to bed since laying down causes more pain. It would be helpful to find out where your pain is coming from so that you can position your electrodes where they will do the most good. Hip pain could be coming from your back so it would be good to position them on the back. If the pain is really coming from the hip then the electrodes would be best placed on the hip. You could try both locations since you have outputs on the unit for 2 sites and run them at the same time. Bottom line I believe that it helps me. Everyone is different but when your in pain this is really worth a try.

You can have 4,3, 2, or 1 pad which in my opinion makes this the best overall swim aid on the market. My son went from 4 to 2 in one day, the next day was swimming without it. My daughter is a little younger and went from 4 to 2 and now uses 1 after only a week or two.
