Doctor Jo, truly you can’t know how perfectly aligned and on time you are with/for me. For weeks, I’d mention something to my mom or a friend, and within 48hrs you’d upload a video regarding the exact thing I mentioned. Around the time you began the daily comprehensive body series weeks ago, you legitimately uploaded within 24hrs whatever I’d mention. Now, I did not speak aloud today about my TENS unit (which I’ve had since 2010 post-knee surgery, and haven’t used it in a decade). Yet, here you are. Anyhow, I am “shopping my apt”, since I have an inordinate number of assets (tools and resources) within my home to help me maintain health, fitness, and wellness, to solve any issues, and to greatly improve that which I need/desire, and this is one I intend to utilize ASAP. I am so grateful for that, and I appreciate you for this simply detailed instructional vid… And each/every other vid you bless us with. Your diligence and humble nature makes me trust your knowledge. Thank you. 💚
@@AskDoctorJo We need to practice what we preach! I am a total supporter of TENS DURING BIRTH as I mentioned; although doesn't always work for everyone! Great to try something non-invasive before the drugs and needles, in my personal view! Have a nice week Dr. Jo! See you soon! YO AND VAGINIA 🌸
Thanks for defining the difference between the 2 modes. I just got a new unit that is both TENS EMS because I need deep muscle pain relief and the plain TENS wasn’t cutting it. When I tried it first I was criss crossing like you’d taught me years ago and it felt good but I was frustrated it didn’t help better with the pain. I will be trying to target the muscle with each channel for EMS and see if that helps. I’m trying next to decipher what mode is best for mid back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain. My machine shows a diagram of various exercises deadlifts, incline crunches set so I’m using the Overhead press and then a rate that bounces between 05 and 77 Hz while the pulse remains constant at 170 Hz. but honestly have no idea what is best. Do you have a video that describes what these 2 Hz readings mean in the TENS mode and EMS mode⁉️ You are the ONLY person I ever recommend when someone complains about pain and I explain how my PT encouraged me to buy a TENS years ago. Thank YOU 🙏🏻 for all your efforts to help us find relief at home for chronic pain‼️
You're welcome, and thanks for recommending my channel to people! Most of the units that have preset modes are kind of stuck to exactly what you mentioned, and unfortunately, are not always accurate in their descriptions. So often, I recommend just using the one that feels the best or feels like it's working what you want it to work, and not worry about the pictures. There are some machine you can buy that do have manual settings and you can program them how you want (like the ones you see in clinics, just not as expensive). If that is something you are interested in, I do have a book about TENS/EMS units that go into specific detail about them. The book also has a section of exercises using the unit. There are pictures and descriptions. You can find it in my product store on Amazon: www.amazon.com/shop/askdoctorjo (affiliate link)
I would first like to apologise for writing a irrelevant comment here that's not related to the issue you're targeting. But wanted some advice on the sciatic nerve pain issue. Past week I did the stretches that you adviced in the video and they were great! So thank you for that one. But when I was doing them I always felt numbness in the knee area. Like either it's the knee that's tingling or going numb, as I can't stretch the leg completely straight for much time. When I walk I feel numbness infront of the knee. So wanted to ask that can you advice something on this one, it'll be a great help. Sorry for such a long comment. And thank you for your help with so much of helpful content.
Hello, does this work for piriformis syndrome. I have sciatic pain in my left glute that radiates down my thigh and foot sometimes. Praying this will help.
Can you describe some of the "24 preset programs"? I can't find anything on that. Programs for recovery? Massage? Etc. Thanks! I have a manual only device and it is too much. I use TENS and EMS. Does your book cover what settings to use in each situation?
Would a tens machine help for left C3/4 dysaesthesia facet joint arthropathy in my skull due to degenerative dis disease please? Also any exercises to help relieve the constant pain I'm in and have been for 3 months now especially worse at night, please? Can't get a MRI scan and CT done for 2 months. Any pain relief would be helpful thanks
Hi, I play lots of football and not too recently, I injured my ankle. What exercises would help me fix this pain. The pain is underneath my inner ankle. I find it difficult doing calf raises with my right leg. Thanks
I just want to ask something, so I'm trying to do the splits and am following some guys tips. It's been quite okay but when I stretch my legs I feel something move near the knee. It doesn't hurt it's just weird. So is it because my lack of flexibility or is it normal?
Hi 👋 from the uk watched your video about tens machine so what I'd like to ask I have a painful frozen shoulder would the tens solve my frozen shoulder or just manage it thanks great video and look forward to the next.
Doctor, do you need to charge that thing when you get it or not, or is it already charged. I just got mine yesterday...tried to get it from Amazon but their compulsive system would not allow me to sign in.

My pain always comes when I do any activity that requires core engagement * nearly everything at the gym* I'm Egyptian and we don't have good welling to help doctors . Could you please help me to get rid of that , I hope to live a normal life.
@@AskDoctorJo i am an international taekwondo fighter i was injured last year my left leg meniscus was injured n my ligaments too ...so tell me can i use tens on that injured place or not ? thanks
I’m a subscriber whose unit is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I used your link in your description but didn’t see the discount code until just now. My mom’s pain is behind her knee. Would the pads be applied on the back near the pain or would it be effective if applied on the front as you showed? Thank you in advance for your advice!
It sounds like your closed captions got turned on. You can easily turn them off by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. If you want to leave them on, you can drag them to another area on the screen, or you can make them transparent. You can even automatically translate them into many different languages! I show how to do all this and more here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VatNBZh66Po.html
