Question
I was involved in an auto accident a couple of months ago, my pain management doc wrote me a script for a tens unit. I have been researching them but there are so many of them. After looking at your website I would like to purchase one from your company. Could you please advise me to one that is easy to use and lightweight? Are the digital better then the manual? Thankyou for your assistance.

Answer

Dear Gina:

These are our best selling, portable TENS units. 

• TENS Units With Timer,
• TENS Unit Without Timer,
• TENS Digital Unit.

Digital units are a bit more convinient.  The end result would be the same.  If you plan to purchase one of these units, please fax your Rx to 713-706-4161.
