Top 10 Best Selling Tens Machines in 2017

Written by Charlotte Anderson | Feb 18, 2016 4:59:05 PM

One of the most highly recommended products that is useful in almost any situation are TENs machines. 

As a registered physiotherapist and clinic owner in Toronto, I treat a variety of patients (sports, wcb, mva, private) and believe in offering complete care at my own practice. Offering “complete care” includes recommending helpful advice and products that can boost your patient’s recovery.

Because they are beneficial for pain relief they can be used for back pain, neck pain, nerve issues like sciatica, tendonitis, chronic nerve issues, tension headaches, muscle spasms, arthritis, and much more. They really are the type of product you can recommend in many patient situations.

Today I want to share my opinion on what I like/don’t like about CSC's top 10 best tens machines, as well as which type of patients are most suited for these products so we can better help clinicians offer complete care for your practice.
