Med-Fit 3 Dual Channel TENS Machine for Pain Relief & EMS Muscle Stimulator - Class IIa Medical Device TENS Unit for Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, Arthritis Pain, Knee, Shoulder, Joint & Muscle Rehab

My old tens went after some years, so wasn’t sure what to go for next. However, when I saw this one and got it I was delighted. Why because of the compact size, the easiness of use, but you must read the manual which is clear and concise. This is a very durable product. The pads are marvellous both for size and stickiness. Once you get used to the controls you can adjust the pain level to what you want easily and it gives you great pain relief. Very happy as I am a long term patient for spinal problems. Pain will never disappear completely, it will come back at some point, but this product makes every day life a heck of a lot easier. Yes I would recommend.

I have had chronic pain from my back and now sciatica since the end of August, and all the doctors seem interested in doing is pushing painkillers down my throat. After deciding to take matters into my own hands and going to see a physiotherapist for a couple of times and experiencing the interferential machine, I decided to give the tens machine a try. After all, at the very least, I would discover that the only way to relieve my pain was with medication. At the very best, it would help in some way or other. I have had this machine since Friday and used it for a couple of hours yesterday evening and then today, and what a difference. I woke up this morning and was able to move about with a lot less pain, and have been able to do the same Throughout the day today. The things i really like about this machine are that all controls are covered, so there is no chance of knocking any of them if you are using this machine while going about your day. it is also extremely light and compact, so will fit onto a belt via its belt clip, or into a pocket. I am blind, so I am unable to read the manuals myself, but it was obvious to me from the help I got with setting up and learning how to use this machine, that the instructions were both clear and concise. if I have one criticism, it is that the belt clip does not seem to do its job properly. Having initially worn it on my jeans while I was walking around a friends house and then on public transport travelling back home, I could have lost this machine twice as it came off. I ended up sticking it in a pocket and using the belt clip as a backup. Having one machine before this that I returned because it was too bulky, had no belt clip and therefore no way of carrying it around easily, and then speaking to the company who make this machine, I have no doubt that should I need any support or assistance, they will be able to deliver it adequately. If you are hesitating, I recommend you take the risk. It might just be a real cost-effective benefit, not to mention better than shoving pills down your throat. The amount of pain I was in was affecting my mental health and it was interrupting my sleep, but this little machine has definitely made a difference. It isn’t a miracle cure by any stretch of the imagination, but if I can get pain relief that is both natural and available whenever I should need it, that to me is worth everything.

I was recommended to use a tens machine by a colleague for a nerve injury causing pain, after reading a bit and not wanting to spend a lot plumbed for this digital version and have to say that although it is rather light and plastic it works surprisingly well. The digital setting seem to add a level of options but in reality have just got to a setting and leave well alone, in use the 'volume' (intensity) setting seems a little course in operation/effect (needs a steady hand when increasing the setting to not get too much effect! In use I increase the settings until just before it gets uncomfortable and gradually increase it a little as the body get used to the setting. Overall glad I bought it and things are going well after a couple of months - and do get relief from pain/symptoms although not effecting a cure the relief can be welcome, and on this basis I recommend as good value.

I was a bit dubious about buying this if I'm honest... I'd bought a machine designed for the neck on a deals website previously which claimed to be a TENS device, and I suppose technically it was, but let me tell you it was a painful experience as that thing had been poorly designed and came with basically no instructions as to how it was supposed to be set up or used. Needles to say it now lies unused in a drawer somewhere. However I had seen and heard about the effectiveness of TENS machines so I was prepared to give it another go as I've suffered from lower back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and leg pain for many years and financially at the moment I was unable to see one of the many physios or chiropractors I've used in the past. So I started researching devices on Amazon and came across the MedFit 3 device which was very reasonably priced, made by a British company and had excellent reviews so decided to order. There is also the MedFit 1 device which is very similar but the MedFit 3 has an LCD screen which I preferred as I could clearly check the settings. Item arrived next day and in the box you get 1 x MedFit device, 8 x self adhesive electrode pads (up to 4 can be used at once so it's effectively a 'spare' set for later, 1 x 9V PP3 battery (very welcome as it was something i'd totally forgotten about), wires to attach the TENS device to the self adhesive pads, and booklets and leaflets with very detailed step by step instructions on how to set the item up, how and where to place the pads for a variety of different types of pain or muscle areas and also a large booklet which shows you other products the company offers along with several different types of electrode pads and deals on them should you need more. So after quickly setting it up as per the instructions and attaching the pads I was ready to go,I attached the device to my jeans (it has a sturdy metal clip which is very handy) and VERY slowly turned it on.... I think it's important to point that out as this machine can be very powerful and the goal is to feel a warm, tingling sensation but if you just turn it all the way up straight away you'll definitely feel the full force and you don't want that. There's a definite 'click' when you turn the dial to ON which is reasssuring, and from there you can very slowly raise it to your preferred comfort level. The control dials on top also have a plastic lid that closes over so there's no chance you can accidentally turn it up or down. There are different modes you can set it to and different strengths and sites you can also set, these are all clearly set out in the instructions although you can adjust as you see fit. For instance you could have 1 set of 2 pads at a certain level on your shoulders and you could have the other set of 2 pads on your lower back at a different level, they're both independently controlled by the dials on top. The machine is designed so that you can wear it all day or just for an hour if you wish. So basically once I'd found 'my' setting it generated that nice, tingly feeling along my painful shoulders and I'll say it genuinely took most of the pain away and replaced it with that warm buzzing. Technically I think the pain doesn't actually go anywhere, it's still there, it's just that the tingling feeling effectively masks it, helps circulation and helps muscles to unwind..... It's kind of like a light massage or climbing into a warm bath and I found it to be a great help. I used the machine for a few hours that first day and have used it for a few hours each day since on different areas and it's providing me with great relief from the dull, achey pains I've had for years. As it can clip on to your belt I've even worn it outdoors and just had the wires under my jumper. I also find the relief extends past the time I'm actually wearing it as well, I feel a bit more mobile and generally less achey. I also had to email the company to ask a question and not only did they get back to me quickly but their service was excellent. So all in all I've found this a great little device for the price and I can't really think of many negative things to say..... It comes with a battery but i'd maybe buy an extra couple in advance as depending on your usage it may get used up quickly although my battery lasted a while, also the pads are very adhesive but sometimes can curl up or move if placed on a flexible area such as an elbow but I've been using plasters to hold them in place and that's been that problem solved, also the pads work best on areas that have been cleaned and dried thoroughly but I've also found that if you have hairy arms or legs it's better to shave the part where you put the pads as the hair makes them tend not to stick as well. Apart from that, I've absolutely nothing to complain about and I've got no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. Hopefully it works just as well for you.

ottimo strumento

Conseillé par mon ostéopathe j'utilise cet appareil depuis quelques jours. Aucun problème. La boîte n'était pas fermée par un scotch lors de la livraison. Seul bémol : pas un mot de français sur les notices d'utilisation !

Dommage que ont arrive plus à le commander j'aurai bien voulu le commander vu que le mien j'ai du le renvoie il fonctionnait super extrêmement bien vous savez me dire quand il sera disponible sa fait des mois qu’il est en rupture

Esta maquina parece cuando la miras una radio pero olvidate de la estetica. Hay que mirar su funcion y sus 4 programas son espectaculares para los que tenemos hernia de disco, y dolores de lumbares, tienen mucha potencia yo no puedo pasar del 5 y tiene 8 posiciones. Puedes controlar la intensidad de los 2 canales, asi como su tiempo de pulsos de forma manual pero trae sus 4 progamados. Hable con mi fisio y coincide que su programa esta muy bien calculado. El vendedor debe ser fisio o medico porque me contesta rapidamente y me ayuda con el manejo del aparato y recomendacoines medicas en uk ya que en amazon uk tiene una altisima aceptacion de este aparato estimulador. Si quereis un aparato por estetica quizas no lo querais pero si quereis un aparato para ayudarte a vivir mejor os aconsejo que la maquina perfecta y el vendedor es un profesional ya que esta a punto de sacar unos parches para los tratamientos de los espolones de los talones. Esta claro que es un profesional y no que otros aparatos pueden tener dibujos y muchas cosas pero cuidado con la salud porque aunque parezca inofensivo segun mi fisio hay que saber las frencuenas y los tiempos de pulsos porque estimulan los nervios y tu cuerpo no es para juegos. No busqueis que os lo recomiendo. Yo soy muy exigente y comprador asiduo aqui por lo que no tengo ningun benefecio y he puesto criticas de productos pero lo que es verdad lo tengo que decir y este producto y este profesional ayuda. Gracias

Im hier vorgestellten Fall hat das Produkt ganz wesentlich dazu mit beigetragen eine halbseitig gelähmte Patientin wieder zum Laufen zu bringen. Meine Mutter war aufgrund zu hoher Blutdruckeinstellung kurzzeitig in Ohnmacht gefallen, gestürzt, mit dem Kopf am Türrahmen angeschlagen und war dann halbseitig gelähmt. Wir haben sofort mit Ihrer Rehabilitation begonnen und dieses Gerät war Teil dessen. Während Hand und Arm sehr schnell wieder einsatzfähig waren, blieben Bein, Fuß und Zehen zunächst noch ein Problem. Ich habe dann dieses Gerät, das offiziell nur als TENS-Gerät ausgeschrieben ist, für EMS-Zwecke gekauft und es war mir als die beste Wahl erschienen, weil es sich individuell auf den Patienten einstellen lässt und auch von Profis angewendet wird. Zum Einsatzbeginn war meine Mutter noch so gelähmt, dass sie zwar schon stehen konnte, aber nicht mehr. Wir haben mit diesem Gerät täglich ihre Nerven stimuliert und zunächst fanden nur durch das Gerät bewirkte Kontraktionen der Muskulatur statt. Mit der Zeit machte die Patientin immer größere Fortschritte und es war dann möglich das Bein anzuziehen und dann im weiteren Verlauf nach der Behandlung die Zehen zu bewegen, was zuvor noch nicht so ging. Dass meine Mutter heute wieder ohne Rollator gehen kann und keine Beinbehinderung mehr hat, ist wesentlich dem Einsatz dieses Geräte zu verdanken und daher kann ich es nur allerwärmstens empfehlen. Diese Gerät ist individuell einstellbar und wird auch im professionellen medizinischen Bereich in England eingesetzt, was mich zum Kaufen bewegt hatte, weil es kein DIY-Produkt, sondern ein medizinisches Profiprodukt darstellt.
