Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a TENS unit portable?

Portable TENS units are compact, lightweight, and easy to use on the go. Rechargeable models are especially convenient since you can avoid disposable batteries.

Can I wear a TENS unit while walking or working?

Many people do, especially with small units and secure pad placement. Start at a lower intensity and make sure wires/pads won’t snag. Avoid using TENS while driving or operating machinery if it distracts you.

Are portable TENS units as strong as larger ones?

Often yes. Output strength varies by model, but many compact units provide similar TENS therapy. Differences are usually battery life, controls, and build quality.

How long do rechargeable portable units last per charge?

It depends on intensity and model, but many rechargeable units run multiple sessions per charge. Higher intensity and more channels can reduce runtime.
