WiTouch Pro TENS Unit for Back Pain Relief & Recovery, Wireless, Wearable Muscle Stimulator, Made in USA, Gel Pads Included

This is my SEVENTH week with back pain. I have no idea how I hurt my back - I think that I strained it and it just got worse the more I tried to push through the discomfort. I tried deep tissue and trigger point massages; went through five bottles of BioFreeze Professional; prescription Lidocaine patches and pain meds; a cheap ($40) TENS unit; nerve block injections. I also bought an eight-hour ice pack to pit on, a new desk chair, and a lumbar support cushion. The pain just kept coming back. Out of desperation, I searched Amazon for back pain relief and this popped up. I ordered it early last night (after looking to see if I could but it locally - nope). When I got home from work, it was waiting for me.The most difficult part for me was getting the box open. I thought that it was just a sleeve that covered the box, nope. So I ripped it to shreds and opened it up. Other than the "sleeve", beautiful packaging. I had already downloaded the app, and the battery setup and pairing instructions were pretty straightforward. I've been using it on it's highest level for the past three hours (with 15 minute breaks between as recommended), and it feels amazing. I was really skeptical that two AAA batteries could pack a punch but - yup. I bought pads and they will arrive tomorrow, but I am SO happy that this gem arrived with three sets of pads. I haven't taken the pads off but they are really adhering and I've been sitting, moving around making dinner, walking the dog, etc., and they haven't slipped or budged. Now I know that the $40 TENS unit I first bought is crap - it wouldn't hold a charge and it hurt as if I were being stabbed with a sharp fork. It hurt more than it helped. THIS unit has exceeded my expectations. I'll update in a few weeks. I am especially interested to see how it performs tomorrow at work (I walk several blocks between a parking garage and building, in 90* weather).So far, I do NOT regret this purchase.

My wife was having serious lower back pain and a coworker recommended this unit to me. The gel pads are very easy to affix and store and pairing the item to the phone was very easy. I was worried it wouldn’t stick but again the unit was a pleasant surprise and didn’t slip once, even when she wore it at work.I didn’t anticipate the different settings which in turn could be adjusted to varying levels of intensity. She said she felt almost immediate relief and over the next two days the unit was her best friend. It never felt hot or, again, never slipped.The replacement gels may seem costly but the reality is this unit is worth every penny. I highly recommend.

I have had low back pain for over 20 years. Arthritis has set in. I have tried so many things to get some relief. I bought the WiTouch Pro and am on day 3 wearing it. I turn it on whne I am trying to do lite chores around the house such as laundry, cooking, some cleaning. While I have no expectations of this totally relieving my low back pain permanently, it does on a temporary basis. You can use it in 30 minute intervals. Having had experience with patches on my back before, just some tips when using the gel pads with the WiTouch Pro. Put the green plastic covers back on the gel pads when not using. If you are wearing it on a hot day or doing an intense workout, the gel pads could slip. It isn't designed to wear doing a HIIT exercise. I have found simple yoga exercises works well with the gel pads staying in place. This is the first product I have been able to use that gives me temporary relief. Only downside, it does not tell you the times of the day you used it so you have to set your timer for 30 minutes after using it on your phone to know when you can use it again. If it was programmed to keep track of the times of day it was used, then you could check the app and know when you can use again, I would give it a 5 star rating!

This might be my best purchase on Amazon ever. This is not a traditional Tens with wire etc, which is why I purchased. The ease of use gets an A+ and makes it worth the money. Granted, I bought it on sale for $49.99, but I’d glad spend close to full price. $150 is steep for this unit if there is no sale. I’ve seen people mention connectivity issues, I have yet to experience one issue. The app is easy to use, there are a plenty of settings and I can’t imagine anyone needing yo go passed 7 or 8, but I believe it goes to like 15-20, which has to feel like the election chair. Haha. Great product, great value, and it gets the job done. Just remember this is meant for large areas like your back, so if you get it for a small area don’t take it out on the review. I hope this helps!Why I use it: I have 2 bulging disc in my lower back. I will say that I have used it to loose up all my back muscles though.Sorry for any typos, I’m not working today, so proofreading wasn’t a top priority.

What seemed like an excellent idea - being able to get the benefits of a Tens Unit without the wires, turned out to be more of an inconvenience than just sticking with a regular Tens Unit.With a standard Tens unit you do need to attach the unit to your belt or pocket, and you do have the wires to contend with. With this WiTouch Pro you still must carry your cell phone or be near your blue tooth device, otherwise the unit cant find its connection and won't work - so not much of a convenience there. But the worst thing about the WiTouch Pro, is the gel pads. They truly can only be used once, as they peel off in a ball of goo when you remove the unit, making them impossible to reuse. And, if you place the unit in the wrong spot and try to reposition it, the gel pads become destroyed.Also, with a Tens Unit, you have much more flexibility in placing the pads exactly where you need them. This device is sorely limited. Its a great idea - but very poorly designed.
