BIOWAVEGO Medical Grade TENS Unit Upgrade Electro Stim Clinically Proven ESTIM, Chronic Pain & Recovery - HSA FSA Eligible, Comfortable Superior to Muscle Stimulator TENS Machines for Pain Relief

I ordered the BioWaveGo mainly to help with shoulder pain I’ve been having and I’m surprised at how well it works. I had shoulder surgery two years ago because I got hit by a snowboarder while I was out skiing with my husband. I ended up having a tear and frozen shoulder at the same time. Now sure how that happened because even the surgeon was surprised as it’s uncommon for the injury I had. My shoulder has never been the same after surgery even with PT and going back to normal life and doing everything like I used to. There’s always an ache and tightness in one spot even with stretching and heat. I couldn’t even sleep comfortably on the affected shoulder. I decided to give this a try because why not. It’s expensive but from what I read, it’s targets deeper than a tens unit which I’ve had in the past and was not really happy with it. I got the unit and it immediately started beeping at me and was showing orange bars which meant there was a disconnect somewhere despite everything being plugged in. Of course it would be my luck that I have this expensive device and it’s a LEMON. I was able to get it to work by jiggling the cable until all of a sudden it stopped working at all. I used the device three times before it crapped out on me but in just those three treatments on three different days, my shoulder didn’t hurt as much. Maybe it was in my head but I needed to get this thing to work. I contacted the support line and got a response from a representative. She gave me a call and immediately sent me a replacement cable. I got the cable in a few days and it works again. I am so happy!! I used my FSA account so if you are able to budget or if you have left over and were thinking of using this, 10/10 recommend. The battery life is pretty good on this thing- lasts a long time. I’m still at full charge and have used it about 14 times so far and each treatment is 30 mins. It’s definitely not like a regular TENS unit. The sensation does indeed feel to go deeper and it’s very uncanny that I can’t exactly explain how it feels but my arm feels so much better. It doesn’t feel stiff like it was before I started using this device. I do like that you can pair this with your phone so you can select where you’re putting the leads and see the intensity and how much time you have left. You don’t even have to use your phone. It’s small and easy to carry around. In my pictures, the device you can see the bars I have left- each bar is 6 mins but I’ve also included screenshots from my phone.

Basically a very expensive tens machine

This neurostim device works great. The set up was straight forward and simple. I like that multiple leads come with the device and they feel very sticky and long lasting. I had the opportunity to try this device from a chiropractic office a few years ago and was very happy with the quality and it helped my back so much! I was happy to see that BIOWAVEGO has a portable device. I am excited to use this for many of my aches and pains, especially after hard workouts at the gym. I would recommend this product to my friends and family!

So far, excellent results on my lower back and shoulders I received it a few days ago, watched service YouTube videos on it and used it on my lower back and shoulder joint. Full relief of paid and it's been more that 30 hours since I've used it. Excellent battery life, probably 7 or so uses or so out of it before it needs to be recharged, which it does quickly. My guess is that I'll get 6 or so uses from a set of pads. Very easy to use. Great and total pain relief SO FAR. I'll update this review as I get more use out of it. By the way, my Orthopedic Surgeon was about to give my strong narcotic pain meds, and I suggested that I try this first. I'm happy that I did. Amazing device! The company is in Norwalk CT and I'm in the same CT county. I was happy about that. 7 April 2020 update The relief in my lower back, shoulders and upper leg lasted 2 days or slightly more. In my experience, relief was immediate. I am aware that this doesn't "cure" the underlying problem. My Doctor asked if I would take Opioids and neurotin if he prescribed them. I said I rather try this 1st. Glad I did. 22 April 2020 update: This has also relieved pain from Lyme disease.

This expensive machine provides little relief but less than I expected in the timeframe I used it. I have been using it for a week now and expected it to give better results. I will try it out for more time and see if it helps. The device is costly. $399 when I purchased it. For that price, I had expected the pads would last a few months at least, but they mentioned in the booklet that each pad usually can be reused 8-10 times which I found surprising. The replacement pads are also expensive. So, overall the device becomes much more costly to run and use. Speaking of the machine itself, it had instructions on how to use it in the booklet and box and they were easy to understand and very straight-forward. The website for instructions takes you to the app, so it was pretty pointless, so following the booklet is best for that. They have an app as well. However, I could not connect the machine to the app even once after trying multiple times. It is a lost cause. Another thing is that the lights on the machine itself could have been of different colors, battery strength and charging are both green. Treatment time remaining and pause treatment are both white and so on. That is not good. Lastly, the packaging box is good, but the device is small, so the packaging is excessive. Compact and reduced packaging would be nice.
