Would this help for a pinched nerve?

Although I'm not a Dr. using the Tens might ease up the pain but I think you really need to see a Dr. because if it is a 'pniched nerve' there's more serious things going on that the 'TENS' system might not be the system you need to use. Before using I would talk to a Dr. and if he advises using the unit then you're good to go with his advice. Hope this helps, Paul.

It might. I get pain radiating down my arm sometimes and I put it on a higher setting. It definitely helped me.

I haven't personally used it so can't say for sure, but physical therapists have used similar units for years to treat pinched nerves among other conditions.

My wife used it on a pinched nerve in her sciatica and it worked there as well.

If the nerve is actually pinched and not just bruised I would think you would need to see an osteopath or chiropractor to fix what is pinching the nerve. After that, the tens might help.

I would be careful using anything like this on your feet. I also have neuropathy and doubt it would help that type of pain.

It seems to be aiding in gaining more energy and comfort for my wife with Fibromyalgia. We bought more.Why not spend 20 bucks and give it a try? It sure will not hurt you.

It should help, my chiropractor recommend this for me because I have degenerating disc in my neck and my head falls forward but he said don't do more than 10 minutes at a time it will make you too sore.

I have had carpal tunnel for about two months. I don't think this is going to help cure your numbing, but it is a support that does seem to help stop the carpel tunnel from getting worse. I had some physical therapy, which was simply doing stretching exercises, so I decided to do the therapy from home. I have been doing some stretching exercises from the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Solution DVD (available on Amazon) for about 30 days and those exercises do seem to be slowly relieving my symptoms. Hope this helps.

I think it would be helpful. I've been able to knit wearing the splint. My orthopedist recommended it if I needed pain relief but wanted mobility.

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor.Thank you

Probably could help if you use it consistently and properly. When I first started using this it was quite painful and I can really see the difference after a few months. My chiropractor highly recommended it and I trust him.

If the pain is muscular, it might help. It's eased some of the stress in my back when I sit for long periods. Depends on the type and reason for pain, and posture when sitting. I also use it as a back support (behind my lower back) when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV or reading. It's great for that in my case.

TRY it! It fits differently depending on your size. I wish I had 1 years ago. I can only say try it, you'll feel much better. I have arthrits pinching nerves in my neck, I use it all the time.

I have used it on my upper back and it has helped with back pain from time to time. Sometimes I get a pinched nerve right below my shoulder blades and rolling this up and down the length of my spine seems to help it. The nubs hurt while doing it, but the next day it feels a lot better.

not a medical expert, but it will contract your hamstring. Maybe on low power you may get relief but on full, it will probably be fairly painful.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know. I'm not sure it relieves pain at all I bought the device for my sister in another state, and she has not had anything good to say about it.

Not for me, it didn't. However, it might work for you. I have a TENS unit, much smaller than this amazon gadget, that does stop muscle spasms due to pain. I get it through my health insurance company, but I have seen them on EBay for about $60. Good luck.

My physical therapist requested I buy this to help retrain my spine to have a natural curve. Mine was straight and this causes pressure on my discs. For me it helps the overall spine.... upper and lower.
