The Infrex Plus Pain machne in interferential mode treatment is an excellent alternative to knee pain medication. The Infrex Plus is a combination interferential and tens unit in one pain machine. Bob Johnson shows proper electrode placement for best results for treating chronic knee pain using the Infrex Plus unit on Interferential mode. Infrex Plus also is a tens unit and can be used on TENS, TNS, machine mode as well as carryover pain relief from the interferential mode. Electgrode placement for knee pain is the same in tens mode or interferential mode.

  • I just woke up in the middle of the night we tremendous pain in knee. Its been going on for a few days. Dunno if i should go to a doctor or not. Anyone wanna help?

  • Hi Alterbyme, If you still in pain go see a doc. See if not something simple. The tens/Infrex units are for chronic pain and you are not chronic so maybe just something simple and everything will be OK. good luck.

  • Hi there! i don't really have knee pain but thanks to my MS my left knee is a bit weaker than I would like it to be. i am an equestrian so I need my leg strength to be as good as I can get it! I have a unit I use on other areas of my leg but would love to know where to place the electrodes on my knee to strengthen it?

  • @nomadictostito , you are welcome and glad working for you. It's interesting that sometimes one solution works for one pain issue but at other times not at all. Pain is so mutlifaceted that no one size fits all.

  • I had a tens unit sitting in my desk drawer for months, I had it prescribed for my hip, but it was unsuccessful. Over the last 4-5 months, my knee has developed a terrible and constant pain. i decided to throw the tens on to see if it would help. I'm still going to see a doctor but, I just wanted to thank you for the late night lesson, and instant pain relief without worrying about messing with more narcotics. Thank you, very much.

  • @medfaxx1 also use interferential, not tens type stimulation. Interferential has carryover relief and in this situation use to prevent headache by observing what are the "pre headache" symptoms and act then, not after the headache starts.

  • @aspleniumholster , Have you ever tried interferential therapy but placed one electrode on "hocu" "hoku" point? This is the web space between the thumb and first finger. When you slowly pull your finger across this space you will feel a point of resistance where the finger quits sliding gently and the skin tends to grab your finger. That is hocu and also if you press you will feel a "knot" inside is good indicator. A 20 minute Rx should tell you immediately if works. key is prevention.

  • I have chronic pain in the popliteal region (which is on the moderate side). Not in the front (meniscus area) but there is a numb sensation there (as if there is a pinched nerve). Thanks for posting this video! It is informative! Are you a Physical Therapist?
