A relatively inexpensive, reliable unit. Many modes and settings. Not for use with DMSO solutions; dry patches only.

I suffered a stroke a little over 2 months ago. While in the hospital, the Occupational Therapist used a machine similar to this one on my arm and hand to try to wake the muscles back up. It seemed to work, so when I was released I wanted to continue the same kind of electrical treatment. I asked my outpatient OT what they thought and they felt it was a good idea. I asked them which machine they would recommend and she said she needed to ask around and let me know. She is part of an email group with other OTs around the country, so she sent out an email blast to all of them to see which unit they recommended, and the majority of them all said the Chattanooga Primera TENS/NMES Unit, so that is the one she told me to get (I guess you could say that this product is the recommended choice of Occupational Therapists! ).Anyway, with all of that said, I couldn't be more pleased with this product! It is VERY easy to use and it has helped me regain movement in my arm and hand greatly! The unit comes with a very nice travel bag, as well as a very helpful booklet with diagrams which shows you the proper points to place the electrodes. It even comes with electrodes already in the kit, so there is no need to purchase extra ones until you need them! Everything you need is in the box. I was using it within 15 minutes of opening the box!The other great thing about this unit is that it is TENS and NMES! This is VERY handy (be sure to look up what the difference is)! I have primarily used it for NMES purposes, but recently needed to use the TENS feature and it helped a lot! This is an EXCELLENT product that has made a significant difference in my rehab!

This TENS unit was a lifesaver while I was going through physical therapy for my two total knee replacements. It was easy to use and worked great to stimulate my quads and help re-build my muscle strength. I would definitely recommend this TENS unit to anyone going through total knee replacement surgery to use at home and supplement your PT.

I am using the Chattanooga Nerve stimulate for my Methatarsoles in my left foot after Ankle surgery P13 and they do work in about 2 weeks (1 session daily) my nerves are almost back 60 %.The only thing I wish it had is an alarm when the workout is over and better pads.The pads that came with worn out very quickly they hardly stick after 2 weeks.The therapist ladie told me they should last forever. But they are not.Other way the machine is good enough and I guess so far good enough for me .Hope I can finish my recuperation.

This unit is what they used during my physical therapy, so I wanted to stick with the same model. It has helped tremendously with strengthening the muscles around my knee, as well as loosening everything up. Battery last forever it seems and the pads are reusable for a good while.

We have had this unit for over a month, and despite multiple tries can't get any consistency with it, starting with simply getting it to work. First, with no simple 'on-off' instructions, we never have a baseline. We folo the instructions??? and sometimes the machine might come to life. But the next time, nothing.It's 'on' ... but not working. And as usual, there is no phone number to call for any customer service.Tutorials are tough to find, and none I've found are actually by Chattanooga.A waste of time and money!!

I have purchased for myself, gifted, and referred it to many. Easy to use, feels great, multiple settings, does both tens and names. I try not to pull the wires in and out or wrap them super tight. Wires are on the thin/cheaper side. Over time the plastic where the lead plugs in to the unit can break off and replacement wires aren’t cheap. If you take care of it the unit should last for quite a while. Takes 9V battery so it doesn’t die as quickly as some.
