To try and occasional treatment

When OMROM Soft Touch TENS / muscle stimulation device is a simple little device with three programs in each 5 different intensities. In addition to pain relief - which here really only the pain, and not its cause is treated - to the device release tension and promote blood circulation. For this purpose, it generates electrical impulses that stimulate the underlying nerves on the skin and thus to trigger the body's own mechanisms for pain relief. Before buying you should be aware that shipped with the device jumbo electrodes are only designed for 30 applications, then need to be replaced and thus cause long-term follow-up costs. However, one should not ignore the fact that you possibly can in order to reduce the use of painkillers while.

Construction and operation
The TENS unit is delivered in a small box, assembled quickly by the understandable manual and thanks to the batteries supplied ready for use immediately. The Jumbo-electrodes are connected via a 1 m long cable with the unit. This is sufficient to easily stow both in treating the soles, as well as the shoulder, the controller itself in your pocket. The electrodes are positioned according to the specifications in the operating instructions on healthy and clean skin and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. In dealing with the shoulders and back, it is helpful to let you attach a second person in order to be absolutely attached symmetrically to address possible on both sides of the same muscle groups. The device does not need a display and is controlled by four buttons. For this, first select the desired program, and then the intensity. The last used program is automatically restarted the next time, but always starts at level 1 with the weakest intensity.

Experiences
Lt. Instruction manual, the device can knead, massage and knocking what varies depending on the program and the treatment stage. I feel a slight tingling range of vibrations and palpitations to strong muscle contractions. My husband, the big brother Omron E4 regularly took one year ago at intervertebral disc complaints, the intensity is rather low - should be prepared for the pain again, the effect of Omron SoftTouch it is definitely too weak. Bring me the treatment both in the back, and the shoulders a very clear and pleasant relaxation. Here I use depending on time of day and day form level 3 or 4. The fact that the perception of the stimulus a very individual thing is, I've found my feet. I started with the right foot, and felt already at level 1 until a tingling in the lower back. Level 3 was still in order and stage 5 I could not bear. After the end I felt so one-sided that I also treated my left sole - here was Level 1 barely perceptible, Level 3, I felt comfortable and Level 5 was to my great surprise, also tolerable.

Conclusion
A general recommendation to a specific TENS unit I do not make sense, because each person has a different sensibility and a different perception. To try if one puts the electrical impulses at all (v), and the occasional treatment in sensitive people, this device is useful due to its significantly lower purchase price compared to its larger siblings, the Omron E2 and the Omron E4. However, those who already has experience with this type of pain respectively muscle stimulation and to use them often and specifically, has a device with superior possibilities, ie a larger number of different programs and, if necessary, a higher intensity, probably a greater benefit.
