Where To Place Tens Electrodes For Back Pain With Infrex Tens Unit On Tens & Interferential Modes

Bob Johnson from Medfaxx, http://www.medfaxxinc.com, shows proper tens electrode placement ( pain patch) ( tens pad) and tns electrode size for back pain. Interferential treatment is best for back pain and the Infrex combines interferential with tens therapy. Infrex on interferential therapy mode provides carryover pain relief so the patient has fewer treatments but longer pain relief between treatments with the portable Infrex Interferential Tens Unit. Also referred to as residual pain relief without drugs.

I'm a TENS user & on behalf of many of us & those who try to help us:

Thanks for the tutorial Bob! We truly appreciate your help!

@RamblinRose53 , you're welcome and thanks for the comment. Tens tends to be as effective as the patient was educated on how to use the unit.

Good luck on your exams. Are you in physical therapy school? If so where?

Ace 'em!!!

Bob, you are such a gem! Thank you for explaining things to us. I have discovered that I was given the wrong type of electrodes for my low back pain. I, also, had no instructions about the placement of the electrodes. You have cleared up many mysteries about the TENS Unit. I wish my doc would have sent me to YOU for help with my unit, but no such luck. Thank you. Vicki

Hi Gimme, The "jerking" of the neck may not be due to electrodes but your "rate- frequency" setting. Make sure that setting is above 40. I would go for electrode placement on the muscles. If your neck muscles are constantly tight, put tens on "constant" and wear unit for 24 straight hours, barely so you can feel it. The constant sensation will relax the muscles and prevent some of your pain. Estim not exactly like acupuncture as far as placement goes. Hope helps.

I have neck and shoulder pain. But when I put the tens machine on the spot directly my neck jerks every pulse because thats what it does, thats its job. I was wondering if this could be used like acupuncture and instead of putting the tens machine on my neck directly, I could put it wherever the muscle goes to. Would this be effective? And if so where should I put the electrodes for neck pain? I know in acupuncture if your leg hurts they put needles in the knee or foot. Does this work the same?

I just ordered one of these for my boyfriend for christmas. We've both had fairly major injuries in the past and both have very physical jobs so I guess its for me too. Thanks for the great info.

Hi Temest, Thanks for your compliment. Can you call me at 800-937-3993 so I can get better understanding? It sounds as though you might be working on muscel strength, tone, not pain reduction. The obvisous answer for simultaneous stimulation is YES. With what are called "muscle stimulators" you set the unit up for "synchronous" stimulation and both channels fire at the same time.  You might want to check out our video on muscle stimulation, functional electrical stimulation for more info

Good video. Do you have anything in the archives addressing stimulation of the traps and deltoids SIMULTANEOUSLY? I'm in desperate mode at this time.
