iReliev TENS Unit Pain Relief System

Overview

iReliev’s TENS Unit Pain Relief System packs described prescription-strength output into a device small enough to carry in a pocket. TENS works by sending subtle electrical impulses through electrode pads placed on the skin, a technology that has been in use for over 30 years. With 8 pre-set programs — including settings aimed at acute discomfort, long-lasting discomfort and arthritis-related aches — plus 25 adjustable intensity levels, you can fine-tune the sensation to the spot that is bothering you.

A backlit display makes choosing settings straightforward day or night, and the belt clip holster lets you keep moving while you use it. The kit arrives complete with batteries, two lead wires, four 2" × 2" electrode pads and a tote bag for storage or travel.

Specifications

What’s in the box

• TENS device
• (3) AAA batteries
• (2) lead wires
• Belt clip holster
• Tote bag
• (4) 2" × 2" electrode pads

Good for

• Sore and aching muscles after a strain

• Aches that follow normal household and work activities
• Everyday aches when you want a portable option you can clip to your belt
• Shoulder, back or other spots where you want targeted, adjustable intensity

Things to consider

• Runs on AAA batteries rather than a rechargeable built-in battery, so keep spares on hand.
• Electrode pads naturally lose adhesion with use and will need replacing over time.
• Wired design means lead wires run from the unit to the pads, though the pads themselves are thin enough to wear under clothing.
• If you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or another implanted device, or are unsure whether TENS suits you, speak with a clinician before use.
