A TENS / EMS Unit can be a great tool for helping to reduce and relieve shoulder pain. Here are some pad placements to relieve different types of shoulder pain. Purchase a Healthmate Forever TENS/EMS Unit here: amzn.to/2LYI5rL (affiliate link)
Some common shoulder injuries that may benefit from a TENS/EMS unit include things like rotator cuff tears, labral tears, sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, shoulder replacements (TSA), and general arthritis.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is used to help reduce pain and increase circulation. Basically the vibration of the TENS follows the same pathway as the pain pathway to the brain and helps cancel it out. It is a great alternative to pain medication. A TENS uses two or four electrodes with cross currents to surround the area. The deep vibration/massage helps relax the muscles and allow for healing. You should not get a muscle contraction when using TENS.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is designed to treat more of the muscle area than the nerves. It helps activate the muscles to help healing, and regain strength in that muscle. EMS is uncomfortable, and you should get a contraction with this. To help with elbow strengthening, placing the electrodes over the wrist extensor muscles is a great option.
Healthmate Forever has a wide variety of TENS/EMS Units and pads. The unit I'm using in this video is the T40AB. Check out their full line of products and learn more at: amzn.to/2LYI5rL (affiliate link)

@michaelparsons9888 7 месяцев назад

Jo made this very understandable. Ran out of insurance company's P.T. allotment for my repairs, and resorting to resuming home self therapy (based on what P.T. taught me). Makes my new TENS device easier to tackle. I wish expensive Insurance Companies did not put cold hard limits on things like this when you find yourself suddenly living on disability funds. Thank you Jo for understandable HELP.

Heh, I broke my shoulder in 2 places back in August of this year. 2 weeks later, I had to have surgery for it. Eventually, I was sent to PT 3 times a week. I really liked the TENS that first week. Then one of the lady's cranked it too high. For about ten minutes, I sat, almost laughing at myself because my body kept visually contracting. The Tech from the week prior walked by so I asked her if that was supposed to be happening. She said 'No! We want your muscles to relax, not work out.' lol I've been going to PT for little over a month. I'm still on passive exercises only. The TENS is one of my favorite parts :) I just got my own TENS unit in the mail today (Flex-it) and I'm eager to start using it. It looks very confusing but the distributor is going to walk me through everything over the phone tomorrow. I can hardly wait.

Doctor Jo, your videos have helped me a lot to get rid of neck and shoulder pain, so thanks a lot! With regard to the TENS I went to a physical therapist for elbow pain and he applied it. Even though the TENS seemed to give some pain relief for the time being I felt the effects wore off almost as soon as I left the practice. Is it supposed to last longer or was I just unlucky?

@AskDoctorJo 3 года назад

You're welcome! It really depends on what the injury/diagnosis is, and it's pretty different for everyone. It doesn't make the pain go away permanently, it's more of a tool to help you be able to do the stretches and exercises you need to do to fix the problem with less pain.

Quick contractions are okay for TENS, but you don't want a sustained contraction, that is more for EMS.

I clicked on your affiliate link and was a bit overwhelmed by the number of options, and crazy price differences.

@AskDoctorJo 6 лет назад

It's really all about how fancy you want to get with one. They have wired, wireless, some have many different channels so you can do more than one area at a time, and some are touch screens so it just depends on what you want out of it. If you want the basic one that does the job but doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles, that would be their best seller, the YK15AB ($29.99).

Do you think this device will help to strengthen my lower back muscles is because five years ago I had a lower back herniated disc surgery and ever since my lower back muscle pulls very easily, injury to my lower back is very easily nowadays

@AskDoctorJo 5 лет назад

I would not recommend EMS for strengthening lower back muscles. You have to be very careful on the back because the muscles cross the spine, so it's probably not the best option unless you have a physical therapist show you exact placements first.

One question. I have read som on the internett. There are so divided what they say about ems. Tens works that i have experienced but can you strengthen your muscles with ems ? The research that is posted is disclaiming the effect. but there are meny who claims it works?. i Tested a belt when i was almost 200 pounds. Then i was trying to loose fat the abdominal muscles. I used it fore some time but it did not have noticeable effect. Now I am living an active life and exercise regularly. Im 128lbs and have no problem with the weight. I have cornicle pain in the deloid muscle so i bought a tens ems machine. now i am thinking of using it to strengthen some muscles that are difficult to exercise. Is it possible, or is it only a fals claim to sel tens machines?

@AskDoctorJo Год назад

EMS is for muscle retraining after an injury or surgery (when you sometimes can't physically activate a muscle on your own). It will not bulk up muscles or work your muscles harder than you can when healthy or without injury, but it will help the healing process when used correctly and retrain your muscles to work properly again. It's also not going to burn fat, so even if it is making the muscles stronger, it won't make you lose weight.
