Beurer EM29 2 in 1 knee and elbow TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should you use a TENS unit for knee pain?
  Use up to three times per day at a maximum. During each therapy, rate your pain before and after the session, 1 (low) to 10 (high) in order to gauge the true reduction of pain.
• How often should you use a TENS machine for tennis elbow?
  You can safely use a TENS machine as often as you like. Usually for 30-60 minutes up to 4 times daily. TENS can provide relief for up to four hours.
• Can a TENS unit be harmful?
  TENS is generally regarded as safe. But it has risks just like any other medical procedure. For example, if the electrical current is too high or the electrodes are placed on the wrong part of the body, it can burn or irritate the skin. The danger zones include the brain, heart, eyes, genitals, and throat.
• Does TENS work on knees?
  Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been shown to decrease pain associated with knee osteoarthritis, which potentially leads to better function, improved quality of life, and postpones the need for surgical intervention.
• Can I wash the cuff?
  No, but you can clean the cuff with moist cloth.
