Professional-quality Massager Treats Neck, Back, and More
Ideal for relieving sore muscles caused by exercise, muscle spasms, and carpal-tunnel syndrome, the Electronic Pulse Massager allows you to treat many areas of your body. Particularly effective for the neck and back, this massager uses mild electrical impulses to relieve pain and stimulate muscles. A versatile tool, it can also be used to help soothe the legs, arms, and joints.

Uses Safe TENS Therapy to Stimulate and Soothe
This FDA-approved device has been prescribed by doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists as a safe, reliable pain management system for decades. What makes it so reliable? The Electronic Pulse Massager works using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy--a type of therapy that gently stimulates nerves and blocks pain signals before they are received by the brain.

TENS therapy uses a micro-computer that controls high-frequency stimulation through electrode pads placed close to the muscle area you want to target. This type of therapy helps your muscles to contract, assisting the release of waste products like lactic acid and aiding your body’s normal healing process. It can also be effective in relieving some forms of muscle atrophy.

Portable and Compact with LCD Screen
Weighing approximately a half pound, the Electronic Pulse Massager is compact and portable, so you can take it with you anywhere. It measures 9.5 x 7 x 1 inches (L x W x H) and is ergonomically designed for optimum comfort. The massager includes four attachment pads with electrodes that adhere securely to your skin and remove easily after each therapy session.

Operated by four AAA batteries (included), the massager features an LCD screen that clearly shows the massage style, intensity, and time remaining.
 
Six Automatic Massage Programs and Adjustable Speed
Do you experience sore leg muscles after your weekend bike ride or carpal-tunnel symptoms at the office? Each of these requires different levels of electronic pulses. With the Electronic Pulse Massager's six pre-set automatic massage programs, you can tailor the therapy to your unique needs. You can choose between three massage techniques: light massage, kneading, and firm massage. Plus, the adjustable speed allows you to fine-tune the massager, customizing your session.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Shocking" Piece of Equipment, October 4, 2011

This review is from: Prosepra Electronic Pulse Massager (Health and Beauty)

For those not familiar, TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It is most commonly used to get rid of pain, particularly back pain- but TENS can work just about anywhere in the body that you hurt.

How does it do this? In short, by blocking your pain. Since pain is carried on the SMALL diameter nerve fibers, and the TENS unit stimulates the LARGE diameter sensory nerves- the result is that the pain signal is blocked by the tingly sensation that the TENS unit provides. Pretty neat. In case you're wondering, the pads help conduct the electricity from the unit to your skin. Know that they do wear out and lose their "stickiness" over time, so the set you get in the kit won't last you forever- but you can order more here on Amazon, among other places.

The Prosepra Electronic Pulse Massager is a pretty verstatile model for the money and allows you to use up to 4 electrode pads at the same time- allowing you to cover a lot of pain areas. A handy device that is used a lot by the medical profession, I think a lot of people will find it useful for common ailments such as back or neck pain. Those with a stiff, painful back might also want to check out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis.

Had the Dr Ho unit for 7-8 years but it finally quit working so we bought another one locally for $119 but when we tried it we realized that it only had 1 connector, even though it came with 2 sets of wires. I did some searching and found this Prosepra unit at Amazon for only $39.95 !!! Read the reviews and decided to order and give it a try. This is a MUCH MUCH better unit that the Dr Ho thing !!! It uses the same cables and pads as the Dr Ho, which was great as we had a few left. There are more settings and more features on this and it seems far more powerful and much more solid and better built........ and at a third of the price !!
We returned the Dr Ho unit and are keeping this one.
I highly recommend this unit , and Amazon had it shipped to me in Canada in record time, I ordered Sunday night, it shipped Monday morning and UPS had it to my door at lunchtime on Tuesday !! Cant beat that.

My wife fell and broke 13 bones - happily all ones that do not require surgery; but she had a lot of pain and found the TENS at therapy helped. I ordered this and was surprised how well it worked for such a low price; but there were some issues.

For one thing, there really isn't a "1" setting on the dials - so the lowest setting can feel a little, well, shocking for someone who is not used to this kind of therapy. This is especially true when the pads lose some of their stickiness and concentrate the power onto a smaller spot.

For another, the three available patterns (beat, knead, massage) each might be perfect for different things, but there is no way of telling without playing with them and seeing what works. My wife stuck with "massage" the whole time and ignored the other patterns.

Still, a good deal for the money. I, too, would recommend getting the Tac Gel and some more pads - the replacement ones are larger than the ones that come with the unit and that's an improvement.
