Which TENS Mode Works Best?
I’ve been struggling with lower back pain and want to know which TENS mode actually brings the most relief. Do you prefer constant, burst, or modulation settings? How long do you run sessions, and which intensity levels helped you the most?

For my lower back pain, I found that modulation and burst settings usually worked better than a constant pulse, because they kept my muscles from “adapting” to one rhythm. I typically run sessions of 20–30 minutes, starting at a lower intensity and increasing until I feel a strong but comfortable sensation. Too high can just tense you up instead of relaxing the area. I bought my unit from tensmachines , and their varied programs really help fine-tune what works best for you. Everyone’s sensitivity is different, so some experimentation pays off.
