Any of the OMRON TENS units can easily be shared with other family members. Please make sure that each person has their own set of Long Life Pads or electrode cord with gel pads to prevent cross-contamination between individuals. To share the Heat Pain Pro, we recommend that each user have a separate electrode cord because the gel pads are connected.

All modes are pre-set and designed by healthcare professionals for specific body pains. For example, in the lower back mode, the electrical stimulation pattern was designed to treat the type of pain found in the larger muscles of the lower back.

Push the “ON” button and the default program “blinks” (unit defaults to the last program at the lowest intensity level). Personalize your therapy by pushing the orange circle button to a pre-set program (Arm, Lower Back, and Leg/Foot).

On the top of the LCD screen, there are names of the different modes that are available. The mode you are using will be highlighted on the screen.

It is not possible to combine any of the modes. You can only use one mode at a time but there is enough differentiation that you will find something that works on your pain.

The blinking light indicates intensity level selected from one blink (weak) to five (strong). For example, two blinks means you are at level 2.

The TENS units start on the lowest intensity settings, press the intensity power buttons up or down to pick the level that feels most comfortable on your pain; go up a power level if the therapy feels too weak or go down if you feel uncomfortable or your muscles contract too much.

It depends on each individual, some may require higher levels of power for the TENS therapy to be effective on their pain.

The Max Power Relief has more features and two times the power. The power, delivered in milliamperes, provides stronger stimulation compared to the OMRON Pain Relief, Pain Relief Pro and Heat Pain Pro. It also has a total of 9 modes.

The biggest difference is the addition of heat; the device warms and soothes the muscle prior to receiving TENS therapy. It also has three therapy types, 9 modes, and 20 power levels. The device is also rechargeable.

TENS and heat have been used by medical professionals for decades, in lieu of applying heat before treatment; the Heat Pain Pro has heat built into its pain management therapy. You can customize your treatment by controlling the amount of heat (Low or High).

Heat intensity can be adjusted through the heat settings. Therapy Combo 1 uses heat in the first half of therapy while Combo 2 alternates between heat and TENS.

The OMRON Pocket Pain Pro, Pain Relief Pro, Max Power Relief, and Heat Pain Pro units may be used on the shoulder in all positions. This includes the upper arm and the upper back or shoulder blade area. See pad placement guide for exact positions. Feel free to use any of the modes, including shoulder, on your shoulder pain. Choose the one that is most comfortable on your pain.

If the battery is getting low, the battery icon will light up on the screen to let you know that you should replace the batteries soon.

The pad icon will light up to warn you that the pads are not in place and the therapy is not working.

In the lower right hand corner of the screen, you will see a number indicating how many minutes are left in the therapy. The therapy starts and counts down to zero, the unit will shut off automatically.

Do not put the pads on or near your heart, directly on your chest, or on your neck. This could cause heart disturbance.

They should be a minimum of 1 inch apart on clean, dry, healthy skin; the pads should never touch or overlap.

The Gel Pads were designed to be used with the heat function of the Heat Pain Pro and the pads are attached to the electrode cord. To share the unit, we recommend that each user have their own electrode cord with gel pads to prevent cross contamination.

First, turn the power off and disconnect the pads from the electrode cord. Then, wash the pads gently with your fingertips under slow running cold water for several seconds. Long Life Pads can be washed up to 10 times. Let the pads completely air dry before reconnecting to your unit. Do not wipe pads with any towels or cloth. We recommend cleaning your pads after 15 uses.

Long Life Pads in standard and large sizes and Gel Refills can be purchased at our OMRON Webstore. We recommend that each user of the OMRON TENS unit have their own set of pads or electrode cord with gel pads for the Heat Pain Pro

Electrotherapy, also known as TENS, is a drug-free, non-invasive therapy designed to reduce and relieve numbness in the arms, legs and foot by applying electrical nerve stimulation to the surface of the skin near the site of the pain.

You can use OMRON TENS units on multiple body parts, including: lower back, sciatic, deltoid, upper arm, elbow, hip & thigh, knee, calf, ankle and foot. View our Pad Placement Guide for more information.

You can begin with one 15-minute therapy session. Repeat for another 15 minutes if needed.  Use up to three times per day at a maximum. During each therapy, rate your pain before and after the session, 1 (low) to 10 (high) in order to gauge the true reduction of pain.

Use the unit as soon as your pain begins. If you get to your pain early, it may prevent the pain from becoming worse. The earlier you get your pain under control, the better chance you have to keep up with your daily activities.

No, this type of therapy does not cure the underlying cause of your pain. It can provide temporary relief or reduction of pain.

This therapy works best on acute pain versus chronic pain, which is more serious.

Scientific theory suggests TENS can work in several ways, including: the pulses can block the pain message from reaching the brain, the stimulation triggers the body to produce more endorphins (a natural pain killer) or the therapy improves blood circulation.

Yes, TENS therapy is a good adjunct therapy in addition to your regular pain regimen such as heat, cold, wraps, physical therapy and medications. Always ask your physician if you have any questions about your health.

On the top of the LCD screen, there are names of the eight different modes that are available. The mode you are using will be highlighted on the screen.

All modes are pre-set and designed by healthcare professionals for specific body pains. For example, the lower back mode electrical stimulation pattern was designed for larger muscles found in the lower back and the stimulation pattern was designed just for the type of pain found in the lower back.

In the lower left corner of the screen, there is a number between 1 – 10 which will indicate the power level of intensity. Power level 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. Just press the intensity button up or down to pick the power level of intensity that feels most comfortable on your pain. If it’s too weak, go to a higher level. If it’s uncomfortable or your muscles contract too much, lower the power level of intensity.

In the lower right hand corner of the screen, you will see a number indicating how many minutes are left in the therapy. The therapy starts at 15 minutes and counts down to zero when the unit will shut off automatically.

The Long Life Pads are good for up 150 uses or 5 months based on daily usage. Caring for your pads is easy; simply clean the pads as recommended up to 10 times. When replacing your pads, remove the protective film from the pads and place on the holder provided when you purchased your pain relief unit.

First, turn the power off and disconnect the pads from the electrode cord. Then simply wash the pads softly with your fingertips under slow running cold water for several seconds. Pads can be washed up to 10 times. Let the pads completely air dry before reconnecting to your unit. Do not wipe pads with any towels or cloth. We recommend cleaning your pads after 15 uses.

The Long Life Pads come in two different sizes. Standard size pads come with the TENS units and are 4″ H x 2.5″ W each and work on multiple body parts. Standard size pad refills can be purchased separately. Large sized Long Life Pads are 25% larger than standard pads — 4.75″ H x 3″ W — and are good for covering a wider area of pain while ergonomically shaped to fit curves.

If the area of pain covers a wide length or width, the large pads may be a good choice. The large Long Life Pads are good for lower backs, legs, thighs, hips on normal to larger men and women.
