Aleve Direct Therapy - TENS Device

I'm very happy with my decision to purchase this product. I've been using it regularly since it arrived and find it provides relief for my lower back when it's particularly achy. It runs through a cycle that is intensity at the start and finish and I am often finding that I am manually increasing intensity in the 'middle' part of the cycle. Not a deal-breaker by any means but it would be awesome to be able to choose a steady application. If you have major back problems this is probably not going to work any miracles for you but if you suffer from general to moderate back aches/pain considering the cost of a chiropractor visit ($50+ for me) this is certainly money well spent. I don't expect that it will replace office visits under all circumstances but see it as more of a 'maintenance' effort.Pros: It's compact and wireless and has many levels of intensity to choose from. Easy to use. I got 10+ uses out of the original pads by carefully applying the unit and then covering with plastic sheets and storing in the box after each use. if you are careful to not get the pads dirty you can get many more uses then noted. I've purchased the 'cheaper' replacement pads here on Amazon and they work well but I'm also happy to have seen the Aleve brand pads in my local chains stores so I could easily buy them quickly if necessary.Cons: You are limited by its design to where you can use this—basically it's for lower backs only as far as i can see. Some of the competitive products with several conductivity pads (and wires) look like you could apply them to arms, legs, hips etc. and might be a better choice depending on your issue.I was also able to use a $10 rebate on the manufacturer's site with my Amazon receipt as proof of purchase which practically made it a steal.

I can't say enough about this item. Using it as I type. Works wonders. Have suffered from lower back pain for many, many years. My chiropractor has helped but when I saw the ad I figured I had nothing to lose. When I mentioned it to him he said "great, but just don't overdo it". He also mentioned I could use it on other parts of my body that ache.I read some of the negative reviews and I can't see that they apply. First the gel pads. Yes they feel gooey but that's need for the unit to adhere to your back.They leave no residue on your back. Instructions say you can use them 2-5 times. I'm on about 10 times and they still look and work like new. Once your done they must be covered up with the plastic sheet they came in. Otherwise they will get dirty and fail to work. So that's not a problem. Another review states they couldn't get it to work. The instructions say to press the small button on the unit, wait for the green light to flash THEN apply it to your back. (I didn't do it the first time and thought it wasn't working). Then press the on button on the remote.My only negative thought is the cost of the replacement gel pads. It reminds me of buying an inexpensive printer only to find out the cost of the ink LOL.If you have back problems you can't go wrong.
