Does anyone know which is the best tens machine please?

I already have one but it's about 15 years old now and I have put it in such a safe place that I can't find it.

I need one that is really strong, I really don't know what to look for.

Please help. Xx

Your insurance should pay for it. Might need to see if they have brand requirements.

I'm in the UK, I don't have insurance so I will have to purchase it myself.

The trouble is I don't know much about them.

I want one that is powerful as I have become tolerant of my original one.

Thanks for replying. Xx

You don't have insurance in the UK? How are your medical needs paid for?

If I need a prescription they are £8.40 per item or I have a card where I pay monthly £12 ish as I have about fifteen items to pay for every order I do.

Any operations are done on the NHS which is paid through National Insurance which is taken from your pay when working.

I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday so I will ask about tens machines then.

Thanks

Anne

I have the Empi Select. I like it fot many reasons. It has many intensities and modalities

I, also, can buy the pads and wires from Amazon .

They are much cheaper than buying from Empi.
