A member asked:
Does tens units cause nerve damage ? safe to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A TENS unit is designed to control symptoms but does not fully successfully accomplish this very often. However, it is not dangerous and if used properly will not eventuate in harm. The fundamental issue is whether the cost is consistent with the potential benefit, and this tool does not provide permanent cures.
