If you don't know, don't use it until advised by a professional. As I understand it, improper use of tens in the chest area can actually cause cardiac arrest.
Used on the lower back, legs or even one arm at a time, this is not such a problem, but, using it in such a way that could potentially cause current to pass through the heart muscle COULD potentially be lethal.
I'd steer clear of the chest area. I use mine on back, legs, arms, etc. I agree with old-soul.
Yes. I've used it on shoulder and neck as well.
I just say your reply and you need to just check first. You can also google. I had a car accident and when I went to physical therapy they gave me one. I was told I could use it where ever I had pain.
Please check first
Good luck
