Really Cool Stuff: Auvon TENS Unit Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- Ready for more really cool stuff? Today, I'm checking out the Auvon TENS unit available on Amazon.
This TENS unit from Auvon is designed to essentially do two things: 1 - overstimulate the nervous system to help drown out some of the nerve and muscle pain you may be experiencing, and 2 - trigger your body to release endorphins for a natural pain relief.
The real question, though, is does it work? I tend to get terrible nerve pain at the top of my spine. I've been massaging it regularly and stretching and still getting no relief. I tested the Auvon TENS unit on either side of the top of my spine, turned the machine on let it run for about 10 minutes at intensity level 3. Several days later and the pain is almost completely gone still.
If you've never seen a TENS unit in action or need a little better clarity as to what it can do and how safe electrical stimulation is, check out my video review of the Auvon TENS-EMS unit!

For a relatively low price (compared to others in the market), this is a great investment that I never knew you could take advantage of at home! - Věda a technologie
you were the only reviewer who explained it really well and demonstrated it! thank you.
Thank you so much for talking about the tens unit. I just got mine and I want to say I love it. Works great . Have a bless day 🙏❤
Thank you, I too was nervous to use after reading the booklet. Thanks, you made it very easy to understand. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video! I needed to know how to work this thing 😄
Just got mine today. Thanks for the video!!
After reading alot of the comments of your posted video I feel it would be redundant too express what I intended to express in comments..so let me say only this; rarely do I find such articulate & well informed information on CZcams..well done. I was already going to buy this same TENS UNIT however I was leery in my purchase being that I've never used a TENS. FYI your post has dwindled my hesitancy immensely. Thank you & God bless
Oh my gosh. Thank you!!
Great presentation. Thank you.
Just got mine. Thanks for the tips. Looks easy. Can't wait, it's charging.
Did it work for ya??
Fadra Nally, I live in Morrisville and really enjoying the exact same product that you use. I sometimes get back pain for unknown reasons (sciatica?) and on my recent event the pain wouldn't fully go away. Just a day on this device and the pain is gone. Thank you so much!!!
So glad to hear it! I have an undiagnosed pinch nerve in my upper back and it’s the only thing that helps when it really flares up.
Thanks! Great review. Just ordered one using your link. Seems like a win win for the low cost.
I think you’ll be happy. We’ve been using ours regularly since I posted this video!
@7:57 when clicking the M button how do you keep it in the same mode when hitting the M button? Like if I have shoulder pain, how do I keep it in those modes with the shoulder pain stick figure? When I hit M button it seems to toggle between them all.
Just received mine. Very helpful as way different than one have had for years
A lot of people seem to like this. And my husband has taken mine from me and uses it all the time!
Hi, can you use this on your lower back and neck at the same time? Mine arrived in the post a couple of days ago, but I have only figured out how to do one area. I put 2 of the smaller pads on my lower back for sciatica, but being a permanent wheelchair I get regular shoulder/neck pain, so I put one of the longer pads across my shoulder blades, but I am still only feeling it on my lower back. Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.
How can u active a and b at the same time ?
One of my cons for this unit is that there are so many settings and there is no way to know what pattern each one generates. It's just a hit-and miss sort of thing. Also, when moving between the settings, the intensity always reverts down to 0, so if you are trying to find the best setting for you, you have to keep increasing the intensity and you can't just hold down the button, you have to click on the + button multiple times. It's a pain in the butt to figure out what the settings should be.
I just received my unit today. I read the book back to front. I was one of those who started to Google whether I could shock and electricute myself. I have had Tens therapy at PT too but I still got so nervous with an at home gadget. Thank you so much for your well informed video! You have such a fun demeanor, this put me at ease!! Very informative 👏 👌
Is it good for planter fasciitis
Thanks for your review. I got mine yesterday, and I'm at the stage of being too afraid to use it!
Just start at a very low setting. And don’t touch the pads while it’s on! It will just feel like a swirling tingle but it’s amazing for my pinched nerve!
Thank you just got mine!! I work in the ER and caught a case sciatica with right leg nerve pain!!! It was horrific! Did physical therapy and acupuncture twice a week for twelve weeks I’m back to work now and scared 😱 this will happen again as the doctor told me it probably would so I’m doing my stretching exercises and icing and applying heating pad ever day I get off my 12 hour shifts, now I got my Tens too! 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏾
So sorry, Sylvia. Sciatica can be the worst! I have scoliosis so I get pain in that area. Hope the TENS unit helps. My husband uses it almost every day!
Also, use alcohol wipes to clean the pads so they stay sticky a lot longer.
I know it's Been said over and over again, but I have to say it yet Again, Great Review!!!! 👍 I do have a question tho and can't find it anywhere,,when you are going thru the 20 different modes,What is the difference between the different boxes It has an upper and lower number? At first I thought maybe first click in box was for A and second click for B,But Nope. Please 🙏 help if possible, But so far it's AwwwwSome. And I just figured out how to lock it,Happy Days.🎉😂❤
Hello and thank you for your informative video! So we shouldn't use this on our face (cheeks for examples) to contract jaw muscles and tone our face, right?
I've never even thought about that but apparently it can help with facial pain. I don't know if it would work for toning it. But I'll tell you this... I'm very sensitive to the impulses and *I* wouldn't put it on my face!
Hey, great review. I'm in Cary, BTW. Small world. One question I have if you see this is how long does a charge seem to last?
It’s definitely a small world! I can’t say how long a charge lasts but long enough that I don’t even think about charging it up!
Massager?
Thank you for the video. We brought one of this to Brazil and we are almost there. The one question I need help with: is it normal to have short interruption during the impulses? It seems to briefly stop and restart a second later. We use another type in the doctor, and it is 100% continuous.
It does pulse and you can increase the frequency of the pulse. Not sure if that’s what you’re experiencing.
Thanks for the detail info!
Bad case of sciatica, rt leg. Got PT referral but, of course, have to wait another 10 days for appointment. Mine is dual channel, model AS8012 Auvon. Need help, but yet still scared of using it wrong. Video helps to watch, many thanks for doing it.
Don’t be scared! It’s great with nerve pain! My husband likes a lot of power. I like just a touch. So go slow until you feel what you want to feel. My only caution is to NOT remove the pads while the current is flowing or you will get a mild shock (as intended). I unknowingly tried to adjust a pad and found out the hard way.
Hi, coul you confirm this ( related to the power supply): input: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz,0.2A?
I live US overseas...and here all our home suppliances work within this power range.
Thanks for your answer.
The connection to charge is similar to what you would use to charge a cell phone. As for the input, it says on the back :
Supply Voltage 5V--550mA
Does that help?
I love mine!
Excellent review I'm very active so my nature revolves around occasional sore muscles etc but I hate taking pharmaceuticals ever since I discovered these it's been a blessing especially considering how cheap they are.
Quisiera escuchar en español
hi i have tried chiro with some relief physio with some relief but often have neck and shoulder tension leading to persistent migraines dont want to purchase a waste of time device but would if I felt it would help ??
I’ve recently started seeing a chiropractor again and it’s helped. I think the first thing is to figure out the cause of the tension (is it postural? is it physical?) But I found that it is helpful for specific pain like when I get a nerve punch in my upper back. And it also helps with general shoulder tension.
Hi there,
Please answer my question. Do you feel it just like an electricity or is it like a massage? Because I was getting therapy in a hospital and it's like a thumb pushing your back, spinning around, going up and down and I really impressed with that. I feel like a ghost massaging me. Haha
But before that, I also had a therapy in another hospital but it's only like some electricity in my body.
Thanks
It does not feel like a massage at all. I wish I could find something to recreate a true massage! This feels like a small electrical pulse. It’s a weird, hard to describe feeling. I keep it at a low setting but my husband cranks it up! It’s really helps for problematic muscles.
Is there an EMS section? I'm ordering it for chronic constipation -- I have paradoxical puborectalis syndrome
I'll be using this on my lower back I'm charging the unit right now. My question is, can I sit down while I have the pads on or will the back of the recliner I'm sitting in, disturb the pads/process? Or do I have to just walk around the whole time? Thanks for putting my mid at ease. DM
You can definitely lay down with it on. I would sit gently, if that makes sense but you’ll still get the sensation.
@@Allthingsfadra Thanks so much for your quick response.
Visually it feels like the space above your head is too big and I want to see more of you. ❤️
Usually people tell me they want to see less 😂
Where can i buy that Auvon Tens ..I order to amazon buy they sold me a wrong one just 2 output only ,even I order4 output still theysrnd me a wrong one ..so pls send me a write name pls tu
Hi there - I have a link in the description with the exact model they sent me. Here it is - 4 outputs! amzn.to/3isl8Pe
That little plastic things is for storing the electrode pads. Simply adhere the pads to them and wrap the wires around the pad.
But I don’t understand why you wouldn’t immediately place the clear plastic covers that were originally covering the pads back on and put the back in the plastic bags. Am I missing something?
@@bettyakers2389 That clear plastic will get nasty after it's been on your body and you keep sticking the pads on it over and over. You can't clean off those little plastic covers it was on and they will wear out quickly.
I have people tell me such units can help with insomnia. Has anyone had this experience, and, if so, how and what body locations have this effect?
I haven’t tried it but I would imagine it could have an effect. I would look up insomnia and acupressure or acupuncture. Once you find the right areas, I would try the TENS unit in those locations.
I have insomnia usually have to take melatonin or something to help me sleep last night I used my TENS unit on different areas of my body especially the ones that you apply the most pressure to while sleeping I slept great surprisingly. They definitely relax your muscles and I've heard that the electronic pulses cause you to release endorphins.
Can you use this on guys as a period cramp simulator?
I can’t say I’ve tried that.
How to use A and B channels at the same time?
Connect to a and b the hit the volume button up to your like of feeling then hit the middle button and it will switch to b then push the up button to your like of feeling
Read your manual...
@@Hervinbalfour can't be bothered, there are pages pages of blah blah blah
How are order I am najran city KSA pls I need buy ten therapy
I live in Raleigh and that is exactly what I need, is a good Chiropractor. I asked mt sister who has lived here for years and didn't know. So please tell me, I'm pretty desperate.
Oh, then you are in luck! I went to Dr. Hightower at Midtown Chiropractic. He was the best! I made this list 10 years ago before I moved but if these places are still around, these are the best! allthingsfadra.com/the-best-of-raleigh/
I’m quit interested ..so where can I buy the Auvo ...and how much ...by the way I live in London ty
I got mine a couple of days ago from Amazon UK.
Hard to see the screen on your demo because of the reflection.
Just a Warning: I found this out the hard way. If it comes unplugged from the device while it's on your skin (say due to moving) DO NOT plug it back in until you turn it off. It will shock the crap out of you if you plug it back in while it's on and attached to your skin.
Thanks for sharing. I ALSO found out the hard way that if you want to move one of the pads on your skin (say, to adjust the positioning) you want to turn it off. That goo on the pads is conducting electricity and you will get shocked! It was my own stupid fault but I won’t make that mistake twice!
Does this work for menstrual cramps? Is it safe for teens?
Definitely safe for teens but I’m not sure about cramps. I primarily use it on large muscle groups.
y a pas un commentaire en francais alors je me demande si c est bon pour la france si j ai bien comprit faudrait deux appareil un pour 100mettre carree je serrais bien interressé mais ???
I use Techcare tens unit.
Its a great device but whats missing is that its just not a great EMS. THERE are just 3 options for EMS AND not really work as EMS.
Are you kidding me? I couldn’t see what you were pointing to on the screen because of the glare. I’d think you’d have corrected this before publishing. Sadly that was the piece I wanted to see.
I just want to let you know how much money I got paid to create this video: $0. I create most of my videos because I think (and hope) it will add some value for the people that watch it. If it doesn’t meet your needs, I wish you the best of luck in finding something that does.
Don’t place on bone either it will zap you according to a friend that owns one
Makes sense. Thanks for the warning!
It's only 2 channel, electric passes between 2 electrodes, so you only stimulate 2 parts of the body at once. You would think that someone that says they thoroughly read the the user manual would know.
Directly from the product description:
"4 Channel (A1, A2, B1, B2). Compared to dual channel TENS Unit, it allows you to apply up to 8 pads at the same time with the 4 outputs for much efficient pain relief. The independent A/B channel can work in different modes and different levels of intensities (e.g. you can select mode 7 with 3 intensity for your shoulders in channel A1 and A2, while in channel B1 and B2, this TENS machine can work as a back pain relief products in P3 with a much stronger intensity."
Nice glare. Can’t see anything you’re talking about. Pull your shade down next time.
Respond pls tu
I'm sorry why would anyone want to follow your advice when you are not a medical professional I'd rather go to a medical person to find out which one is best of me
This is a consumer device, not a medical device. I can guarantee that a medical professional is not up on most consumer brands. I'm giving my opinion about how well this device works for me. It's information in nature - not trying to sell you anything!
@@Allthingsfadra Good answer.....obviously Chuck needs medical help
Why bother watching & commenting then Chuck?
I think this thing is junk the instructions are pretty poorly written and while your setting there enjoying a massage the next thing you get a hell of a shock not impressed with this
Ooh, sorry to hear that. I use mine all the time with absolutely no issues!
