FAQs

How often can I use the TensCare Back Stim Electrode?

You can typically use the device for 20-30 minutes per session, multiple times a day as needed for pain relief. Always follow the specific instructions provided with the device and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.

How long do the electrode pads last?

The self-adhesive electrode pads usually last for 20-30 uses, depending on how well they are cared for and stored. Replace them when they no longer adhere securely to the skin.

Can I use this device if I have a medical condition other than back pain?

This device is specifically designed for lower back pain. It is crucial to consult your doctor before use if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, especially those involving the heart, or if you are taking other medications.

Is it safe to use the device while sleeping?

It is generally not recommended to use TENS devices while sleeping unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional. Always turn the device off before resting.

What should I do if the sensation is too strong, even at low intensity?

If the sensation feels uncomfortable or too strong even at the lowest setting, discontinue use. Ensure the electrode pads are correctly positioned and consider trying a different program or consulting the user manual for guidance.

Can I share electrode pads with someone else?

For hygiene and effectiveness, it is best to use your own set of electrode pads. They are designed for personal use and shareability is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Device not turning on

Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted and charged, or check if the device is properly connected to a power source if applicable.

No electrical sensation felt

Check that the electrode pads are firmly attached to the skin and that the wires are securely connected to both the pads and the device. Ensure the intensity is turned up sufficiently.

Skin irritation occurs

Discontinue use immediately. Ensure skin is clean and dry before application. Try a lower intensity setting. If irritation persists, do not use the device.

Electrode pads not sticking well

Clean the skin before application. If pads are old or have lost significant adhesion, replace them with new ones.
