28. How to Use a TENS Unit with Upper Back Pain. Correct Pad Placement.

How to Use a TENS Unit with Upper Back Pain. Correct Pad Placement.


How to Use the TENS Unit:

If you are using an iReliev TENS unit we provide step-by-step video instruction on how to use the following types:


iReliev 1313

iReliev 5050

iReliev 8080


Just go to the program section at bobandbrad.com and click on the TENS series. Under the series look for the videos with the 1313, 5050, or 8080 TENS units.


If you are using a TENS unit from another manufacturer you will need to follow the instructions provided with the product.


Where to Place the Pads:

There is NOT a specific right way to position or place the pads. The best approach is to place the pads wherever they relieve pain the most. Experiment and see what will work best for you.


General Guidelines for Upper Back Pain (One Sided):

Use one channel and two pads. Place one pad (either one) directly on the pain. Place the other pad directly below the pad (at least a pad’s width apart).

Use one channel and two pads. Place one pad directly above the pain and one pad directly below the pain or place one pad on each side of the pain.


General Guidelines for Mid-Back Pain (Both Sides):

In our examples channel one has yellow pads and channel two has green pads. One pad from channel one in the upper right corner of the area of pain and one pad from channel one in lower left corner of the area of pain. One pad from channel two in the upper left corner of the pain and one pad in the lower right corner of the pain. This arrangement forms an X pattern.

Reminder: do not place pads over open wounds or areas with excessive hair. Clean the area with soap and water prior to placement of the pads.


Upper Back Treatment: Use a tennis ball in a sock on the wall or on the floor.
