It has been a few years now that I've been using it. The instant relief and the soothing massage you get can't be attained from any other treatment. Check out the official Aurawave website here! To brief you about the unit, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS, by its definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, generally to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to actively and effectively treat pain. The TENS unit is usually connected to the skin using two or more electrodes (electrode pads). Usually operated by battery, a TENS unit is able to modulate pulse width, frequency and intensity. Generally, TENS is applied at high frequency (>50 Hz) with an intensity below motor contraction (sensory intensity) or low frequency (<10 Hz) with an intensity that produces motor contraction. TENS is a non-invasive, low-risk nerve stimulation intended to reduce pain, both acute and chronic. Evidence pr
