TENS Unit

I recently purchased a TENS unit for a mild back pain that I've had for about 2 weeks. I understand it is a great way to rehab yourself. Does anyone have any suggestions? There is so many settings on this unit; its mind boggling. I read TENS can also burn abdominal fat? However, I am not sure how much truth there is to it.

I use a tens machine if I have strained a muscle in my back or if it has a lingering pinch in the muscle. I turn the setting up as high as I can stand and usually use it for 10-20mins. As far as burning ab fat, I wouldn't count on that. Fat burning comes with Diet and training brother.

Thanks for the info. I figured the fat burning was a wives-tell or marketing scheme. I personally am in to dieting and training to maintain/lose abdominal fat.

Yea I've seen the infomercial's with the Tens machine on the guys abs though lol. Hopefully the Tens machine helps out your back ailment, I'd also look into an inversion table aswell.
