Reviews
"As I lay on the toy strewn floor quivering in battery operated pain one brave child who is forever striving to be my favorite grabbed the evil devil box and in the brave attempt to turn it off, instead turned up the frequency of the attack. The injured and now fear filled mom is a quivering mass of pain and the children are now gleefully trying out the Devils toy on random body parts. I am giving this evil box a five star rating as the original pinched nerve pain is now completely gone."
"I bought some conductivity gel just in case it loses contact after the pads are getting old but I don't see that I will ever use it now. It also is very easy to buy cheap sets of replacement pads for this unit. The pain that I live with on a constant level is moderate to severe and I refuse to take opiates on a regular basis. I get so much relief that hours later I'm still pleased that my pain level is low to moderate. When I use this on my neck or lower back and I walk or stretch very slightly... my spine will pop which means that trapped bursa is released and relief floods through my whole body and I get relaxation that I never can get without the unit. I was struggling to no avail to "pop" my back and neck to get relief from the pressure pain. I bought this unit on the advice of my orthopedic surgeon that did my shoulder surgery. Pay it forward and honestly review your purchases on Amazon please!"
"I'm a Paramedic and had a 400lbs patient fall on me 3 year ago, blowing out 2 disks in my lower back, and I've been a mess ever since. There is also something like 15 different modes depending on what body part you place it on, or what rhythm you want, which is excellent for getting the right feel for you and switching it up on each use."
"I love electrocuting myself, my wife, a volunteering child that wonders "What does it feel like?" Be careful though, we turned the 10 year into a zombie for 6 hours using the acupuncture mode. Purchased to relax a shoulder on my wife that was affecting a nerve, it started to release a day after a little therapy."

"I had my bf apply the pads to my lower back and I was messing around with the dials and all of a sudden...BAM! Always start these things with the lowest setting and then move up within your comfort level."
"I had experience with a smaller, less powerful unit bought at CVS, but even that was helpful. (EBL 840 9V Battery Charger with 4 Pack 600mAh Li-ion Rechargeable 9 Volt Batteries). UPDATE Aug. 2017: I've used this unit for 4 months and it got me through a really horrible time where I was suffering from knotted shoulders and trapezius with terrible trigger points that were so bad I was unable to sleep on either shoulder for nearly 4 full months. UPDATE Sept. 2017: Well, unfortunately, the unit quit working a few days before I had to travel, so I was forced to buy another one to replace it. My original review was 5 stars, dropped to 3 while I waited for a refund, and am leaving it at 4 stars because the seller did take care of the issue and the new unit seems to be working fine (although I did just get it a month ago)."
"I get treated by my chiropractor every month with a professional TENS unit for Sciatic Nerve pain."
"This tens unit has just the right amount of power behind it, small size and features to make it a must have for those with MS, muscle or nerve pain. The housing isn't as nice as some of the higher-end commercial units, but the electrical configuration options are comparable. Sometimes I put it on low and just run it for 30 to 40 minutes while I read, work on the computer or watch tv. *It should be noted that this gizmo has decent power output and runs for a long time off of one 9v battery. The pads are comfortable--not overly sticky or gooey but nonetheless result in excellent adhesion. When finished just re-apply them to the sticker backing sheet they came with and reseal them in the envelope to extend the life of the pads."
"Tens units are the best when it comes to muscle pain."
"This has been used by almost every chiropractor I have ever visited and now is apart of my home."

Reviews
"To describe the fabric further, the top is but like a soft terry microfiber and the bottom is like a typical blue heating pad cover fabric. The cover is integrated INTO the pad. The integrated pad cover doesn't slip off while in use and ruin the shape of the plastic pad as the cover is being held on by a plastic snap pulled tight to end of the pad as the cover slips off the other side. The integrated pad cover doesn't slip off, exposing the super hot plastic which can burn the skin. This may mean washing is more of a hassle, and a risk for losing the pad sooner, but for me the softness and worry-free USE of the integrated pad cover greatly out-weighs the con of losing a pad sooner due to machine washing wear and tear. The latter option is something I have never had in a pad before and I like it as it lets me put the pad on "1" and set it at the end of my bed for keeping my toes warm all night. Though I've paid $25-30 for cruddy pads with the flimsy blue cover held on with a snap from Wal-Mart, so $36 for this awesome pad doesn't seem too shabby a deal. When you put the pad on unlimited timer it seems to waver, and not stay super hot, so people that want endless searing heat may not be happy with this. Bottom line: This is one of the better pads you can get your hands on with it's lovely integrated cover, good size and long cord. Since "cheap" pads aren't a heck of a lot less expensive, if you use your pad on any sort of regular basis I recommend this as a good upgrade. Hope this review is helpful and that you find comfort in your heating pad! Best pad I have ever had - hands down. It still heats evenly and the fuzzy cover is nice looking for an oft-used and washed pad. I do very much like it, and I have had a ton of pads. UPDATE 02/04/2017: When another shopper left a comment on my review I saw that the burgundy pad was up for about $10 off the normal price and since I use this pad so much, and prefer it so much over any other that I have used in the past - I snapped it up for a spare. When someone in the household needed a pad we gave the new one a try and they liked it the same as I love mine, as it is just as functional and comfortable as the first pad, with fast hot heat, 2hr/stay on shut-off options and the big soft washable fabric cover. UPDATE 11/28/2017: It's been awhile since I updated, but since it's finally getting cold - after a long, hot summer and early/mid autumn - and I've begun to use these pads again to warm my feet and core, instead of just for pain."
"Even though the cover isn't removable, the cord disconnects from the pad and the whole thing can be washed. A tip if you're having problems with the controller not working and displaying an "F" on the LCD: If the heating pad becomes disconnected from the power cord, the controller doesn't seem to know what to do when you plug it back in. To fix this, first make sure the pad is plugged into the cord securely."
"Originally bought this for myself, but turns out my sweet little kitten loves it too!"
"This is exactly what I need to help me manage my chronic back pain. So I'm not too sure how long it will last before it either malfunctions or burns my house down. Triggered my safety switches around the house."
"I ordered this a year ago and it worked great until the control mechanism melted."
"Turned it on today and after 5 minutes it started to melt the control panel."
"I have had this heating pad for 2 months and it has quit working and flashing an F on the control."
"That is, until the other day when I went to adjust the temperature and the controller felt hot."

Reviews
"I've tried it with bare skin and clothing - both begin with a bit of discomfort, which dissipates within a couple minutes as I start to feel heat permeating my back."
"However, I stuck with it and after a minute or so the pain and burning sensation subsided and I was ok laying there (although I do not recommend letting dogs be around you as it can be rather painful if they decide to jump on your chest while you are laying on the mat). I only stayed on the mat for about 10 minutes, but when I got up I noticed I didn't have as much pain in my right shoulder and was able to raise my arm up again!"
"), but I was going to bed with a sore back and waking up with a sorer back. The Spoonk mat is perfect for me to relieve upper back tension: I lie on it for ~30 minutes each night; usually I already drift off to sleep by the end of the session, so I need a timer to wake me up and put the mat away. Then I can fall back to sleep right away, and in the morning my back is no longer sore!"
"I tried over 2 of them including some of the cheapest and some of the more popular ones like the "Heavenly". The Spoonk has a feeling of quality and you can tell this mat was made by people that care. I ordered from Amazon to the Middle East and it took only 3 days to arrive and the price was like 50% of what I would have paid locally."
"the Spoonk Acupressure Mat is surprisingly comfortable, and I have fallen asleep on it. But I would warn that a thin shirt is not good to wear when using it, A cotton t-shirt weight material is the best to wear I would say."

Reviews
"When they arrived, I was really disappointed, because they are so thin and looked like something you would buy at a dollar store. (luckily, I am able to wear athletic shoes at work) After about 3 hours, I completely forgot I had them on! But at the end of my 8 hour shift, it occurred to me that, not only did I not have to take off my shoes all day, but my feet didn't hurt! I've done the ice packs, the night splints, the physical therapy, the cortisone injections - you name it, I've tried it."
"Sometimes, the foot with Achilles Tendonitis m any swell too much for me to sleep in that one."
"I say this because my 5 stars is given for two reasons; (1) the compression socks really work for my 63 year old- million- miles -on -the -pedometer feet (2( their customer service is amazing, not that I needed it."
"I put the supports on and thought they felt kind of loose, not tight as the follow up email explaining how to "break them in". I explained that the XL felt sort of loose, not tight, when I first put them on and had been wearing them for hours with no pain issues."
"As for care, don't put anything elastic and stretchy in the dryer, it will kill the life span, wash them and hang dry, they will retain it's compression, I will be ordering a few more of these for training."
"The only reason they don't get 5 stars is the heel is super easy to rip and needs to be reinforced."
"My husband uses this and it helps with the achilles tendon, helps his freet when he does his martial arts training which can sometimes involve a lot of footwork."
"This is a seamless quality product giving comfortable firm compression."

Relieves neck pain for anyone suffering from neck arthritis, herniated/bulging disc in the neck, neck strains and cervical muscle spasms. By stretching the neck and lifting it upwards, blood circulation gets increased to the structures of the cervical spine, helping to oxygenate muscles, nerves, tendons, thus decreasing pain and promoting relaxation. INCREASES BLOOD CIRCULATION - The cervical traction device helps by increasing blood circulation to the structures of the cervical spine, helping to oxygenate muscles, nerves, tendons, thus decreasing pain and promoting relaxation. FULLY ADJUSTABLE – The cervical traction device is fully adjustable to almost any size and can be used for men and women.
Reviews
"I found out my neck is full of arthritis and the neck bones are settling and pinching nerves. I do this three times in 20 minutes, pump up slow and release slow the way my therapist had done."
"It's not like working out where you feel better afterwards, or doing yoga stretches where you feel a lot more limber afterwards. It works phenomenally for my lower back, decently for my mid back, a little bit for my upper back, and zero for my neck. Anyways, the only thing that has seemed to work, but only for a very brief time is when I do the neck stretch where I simply lift my chin a little and "reach for the sky" with my skull; stretching my neck vertically upwards for as long as I can take it. it stretches your neck upwards in the exact same manner of the stretch I was doing on my own, but without the effort. Because it does the stretching for me, I can leave it on for the recommended 30 minutes and get an amazing stretch that makes my neck feel awesome for hours afterwards instead of the minutes it does when I stretch on my own."
"For the price, this is the one to get."
"I have severe arthritis and no cartilage in my neck and a host of problems that go along with that. I had a severe migraine coming on and I'm deathly afraid of them and will do anything to stop them from happening, which is why I bought this. So this silly little "flotation looking device" will absolutely help for people with arthritis in the neck or anyone with severe neck problems. If there is another one with a different design for keeping the air in the tubes then try that one."
"This cervical neck traction is awesome, very easy to use."
"If you respond well to mild traction therapy techniques (such as the popular towel trick that is all over youtube) then this might work well for you. If you have to travel somewhere while having neck pain, then this works much better than a cervical collar (which I think is sort of one-size-fits-all and very ouchie)."

"I recently stood in a pharmacy starring at all the back braces, hot n cold packs, with a bottle of Aleve in my hands. I think I have a more serious problem than I want to admit w/ my back but this little device is a major help!"
"The device is very sturdy - I had ordered a 'back stretcher' thing that looks like a half-circle, and I only found them in plastic. The TRAX, however, is solid metal, and the hand grips are rubber, as are the pads where you put the device against your legs."
"This is a great product!"
"When you use it your back will be tender but then when you go to bed and sleep and wake up you will be loose as a goose , I LOVE mine and will continue to use it until it breaks or forever whichever comes first."
"I was sceptical when I purchased the lo bak especially because I felt that it was too good to b true,I suffer from a degenerative disease on my lower back and gettin out of bed or lying in bed for more than a few minutes,but this device is the holy grail to me since the last week that I have been using it,my pain is 99 percent relieved and getting out of bed is a relief ,thank you."
"Several years ago I had a costly and long round of low back de compressions at the chiropractor."
"It comes with a video that shows you all the different ways you can use this device. This will stretch your lower back."
"I'm giving it five stars but I'm only 6 days into using it and the directions say to use it for three weeks."

"Plus a little bit with equipment, starting with a reclining cycle for ten minutes at the beginning of each session, to loosen the joints. I saw this pedal exercisrr, and thought it might help me to both continue building quadriceps as well as loosening the joints. The foam that covers the pedal arms was a bit too long, and rubbed against both the pedals and the center gear. That was easily fixed...sharp case cutter used to trim about 1/3 inch off each end of both foam covers."

"They're a great way to build up my hand strength, and kind of fun just to work them at the office, or while watching television. One small issue which cost a star in my rating was labeling."
"My surgeon did not order PT/OT right away, and having the putty to use (once my stitches were out) really helped build back my hand strength. I did eventually go to OT, more for stiffness and decreased range of motion, but grip strength measurements taken there 6 weeks after surgery were improved compared to before surgery - and I credit the theraputty for helping me do that."
"I was looking to get a complete set but at the same time not break the bank. Because this set has so many levels, I an can really work the child based on their mood and levels."
"I have used this on silicone, plastic, Formica, and marble surfaces without any problems."
"It is a little more firm than I had thought it would be but dont push it fast and it does a great job for those of us needing a very light workout for our hands."
"I was suspicious at that point whether someone had just put some nasty Silly Putty in a container and called it Theraputty."
"This product is to firm, need a xsoft for my post surgery hand rehab, just want a replacement of product."
"The theraputty that arrived today is 1) much stiffer than the comparable color in the therapist's office. And yes, the product theraputty sold me is a smaller portion than the 2 oz theraputty in the therapy office... yet it's the same brand and everything."

"He has fallen asleep in it which scared me the first time and still looks odd from the outside, I have learned once he is asleep to just go over and pull the top half off of his head and face. Once in- he is fast asleep."
"It also helps with his regulatory issues because he can stretch to help strengthen his upper/lower body as well as balancing inside while playing. I found it bring a good sense of "body awareness" as well."
"Returns to its original shape and does not stretch out."
"My son loves this thing."
"The material is stretchy and lets lots air in so when my boys put it over their head i don't have to be concerned about them suffocating."

"As I lay on the toy strewn floor quivering in battery operated pain one brave child who is forever striving to be my favorite grabbed the evil devil box and in the brave attempt to turn it off, instead turned up the frequency of the attack. The injured and now fear filled mom is a quivering mass of pain and the children are now gleefully trying out the Devils toy on random body parts. I am giving this evil box a five star rating as the original pinched nerve pain is now completely gone."
"I bought some conductivity gel just in case it loses contact after the pads are getting old but I don't see that I will ever use it now. It also is very easy to buy cheap sets of replacement pads for this unit. The pain that I live with on a constant level is moderate to severe and I refuse to take opiates on a regular basis. I get so much relief that hours later I'm still pleased that my pain level is low to moderate. When I use this on my neck or lower back and I walk or stretch very slightly... my spine will pop which means that trapped bursa is released and relief floods through my whole body and I get relaxation that I never can get without the unit. I was struggling to no avail to "pop" my back and neck to get relief from the pressure pain. I bought this unit on the advice of my orthopedic surgeon that did my shoulder surgery. Pay it forward and honestly review your purchases on Amazon please!"
"I'm a Paramedic and had a 400lbs patient fall on me 3 year ago, blowing out 2 disks in my lower back, and I've been a mess ever since. There is also something like 15 different modes depending on what body part you place it on, or what rhythm you want, which is excellent for getting the right feel for you and switching it up on each use."
"I love electrocuting myself, my wife, a volunteering child that wonders "What does it feel like?" Be careful though, we turned the 10 year into a zombie for 6 hours using the acupuncture mode. Purchased to relax a shoulder on my wife that was affecting a nerve, it started to release a day after a little therapy."

"After speaking with the company I found that while it has an 80 minute timer displayed, it is not possible to adjust this so that you can relax, read a book, watch a movie, or do whatever without being concerned about leaving it on too long."
"I have found that I can use it in some cases and do find that even just the distraction of a different sensation helps with pain, but once I remove the tens the pain returns fairly quickly."
"No problem - with this TENS unit, I can place the electrodes on the different spots and get relief all at once. I would definitely recommend this unit."
"Years ago we spent about 10X the price for one at a State Fair booth that works, but this easily replaces it with more options and more pads."
"Bought to use when I was dealing with weird leg swelling."
"As of now, the only thing I would change on this product is I wish the keys lit up."
"Have been going to Chiropractor for a while and he uses a larger version, but sometimes cannot wait in between appointments."

"It doesn't get much warmer than any other regular poly-fill comforter on the market as far as I can tell. That being said, it can easily be used as your only comforter, assuming your house is a "normal" temperature (higher than 68 but lower than 78). 17 million/10 would buy a second one just to keep in the living room for my wife if I had the money."
"I find this blanket has increased my quality of sleep and lessened my nightly pain."
"I ordered the 15lb 60x80 blanket, it is perfect! The blanket is well made and the weight blanket easily ties inside the soft outside blanket."
"The duvet cover was super soft but very difficult to attach to the weighted blanket."
"Getting a good night's sleep without medications that came with unpleasant side effects was a thing of the past until I got this blanket. I no longer toss and turn before falling asleep, and I have slept without nightmares in the two weeks since the blanket's arrival and use."
"This is the best purchase I’ve made this year!!! With this blanket I can fall asleep in 5 minutes."
"Yes it's a bit warm, we opened the window and turned on a fan."
"I ordered a weighted blanket which was described as a blanket that advertised as having weight evenly distributed across the blanket."

TENS 7000 2nd Edition Digital TENS Unit with accessories
Reviews
"I had my bf apply the pads to my lower back and I was messing around with the dials and all of a sudden...BAM! Always start these things with the lowest setting and then move up within your comfort level."
"I had experience with a smaller, less powerful unit bought at CVS, but even that was helpful. (EBL 840 9V Battery Charger with 4 Pack 600mAh Li-ion Rechargeable 9 Volt Batteries). UPDATE Aug. 2017: I've used this unit for 4 months and it got me through a really horrible time where I was suffering from knotted shoulders and trapezius with terrible trigger points that were so bad I was unable to sleep on either shoulder for nearly 4 full months. UPDATE Sept. 2017: Well, unfortunately, the unit quit working a few days before I had to travel, so I was forced to buy another one to replace it. My original review was 5 stars, dropped to 3 while I waited for a refund, and am leaving it at 4 stars because the seller did take care of the issue and the new unit seems to be working fine (although I did just get it a month ago)."
"I get treated by my chiropractor every month with a professional TENS unit for Sciatic Nerve pain."
"This tens unit has just the right amount of power behind it, small size and features to make it a must have for those with MS, muscle or nerve pain. The housing isn't as nice as some of the higher-end commercial units, but the electrical configuration options are comparable. Sometimes I put it on low and just run it for 30 to 40 minutes while I read, work on the computer or watch tv. *It should be noted that this gizmo has decent power output and runs for a long time off of one 9v battery. The pads are comfortable--not overly sticky or gooey but nonetheless result in excellent adhesion. When finished just re-apply them to the sticker backing sheet they came with and reseal them in the envelope to extend the life of the pads."
"Tens units are the best when it comes to muscle pain."
"This is the second one of these to break within a month of use."

"I've been suffering from a bout of tennis elbow for 3 months now and after only a week of performing the simple exercises 3 times a day my elbow feels better than it has since summer."
"Got this last night and began playing around with it based on a YouTube video I had watched a few days ago."
"It's only been 3 days...) What's also amazing, is I had a wrist pain for months on the other hand (early arthritis characterized by a bump which might develop soon my doctor said) and that's better too."
"You will likely have difficulty in understanding the exact exercise(s) that you should do for the treatment however."
"I read about and watched online video clips about using the Flexbar as means of therapy for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)."
"The downside for me is that the green bar is larger in circumference than the red bar, and I have small hands, so it makes the exercises harder to do than it should be."
"Was recommended to me by an ER physician who is a rock climber to help treat my lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)."
"I am avid weight lifter and after a week of pushing it on pull ups, I had a MINOR dull ache in my left medial epicondyle (golfers elbow)."
