has anyone bought and used a tens unit? I keep reading it helps a lot for muscle aches, tmj and those horrible headaches with the neck and stuff. I dont go to a chiropractor, im scared too but i need to tame these headaches
I used my sister's for a bit but if you ask me it is unecessary torture using the tens machine.
Same here I totally feel the same way
I tried it only once in a running show they out it on my jaw for tmj it gave me anxiety. But inwas windering if anyone teied it with success for headaches. Im nit going to bother with it. Im a bit scared to have electricity shooting all over. Just trying to calm down some headaches.
Hi Lisa I don't know what a tens unit is but a chiropractor may really help you. Why are you scared to go to one?
I have health ailments, and optic nerve thing going on so id be too scared they do some manuver to injure me. I spoke to a few over the past years. They wont play around with my spine anyway. They wanted to do the tens though and some herbs and such. My nuero said not to play around with anyone manioulating my spine so i wont. Just this tens thing. Im not buying it or doing it. Its little electric currents lol. Sounds so off. But some woman was talking about it like it was the answer to headaches. Idk.
I wouldn't see a chiro if I was you then either! Sorry I cant help on the tens thing but I don't think I would go there personally it sounds a bit hit or miss. Have you tried accupuncture? Its so hard finding something that will work for you hey
A ccuouncture has been recommended. I havent dine it. Too chicken. I tried one needle once haha ouch.eventually ill work uo the nerve, luckily allergy season ahould wrap uo soon for me anyway. For the tmj i will have be more brave and try the accupuncture. .
