Answers:

Hi
I am a chronic pain patient now for 20 years and can tell you that people respond to treatments differently. I am giving you my honest and serious eval for you...

There are all kinds of Electric nerve stimulation and varies
ALL USE ELECTRIC CURRENT IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO PROMOTE HEALING.

TENS- Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stim ( outside on skin)
described as Nerve stim for HOME USE.
You dont have to shut the unit off - you can use it as often as you want . Totally portable and about the size of a pager.

MENS- I liked this a lot better. The impulses weren't as hard on the body! lol ( microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator)
It is MICRO-CURRENT and generally used as a "healing" treatment.

I did like this better because it relaxed me more and I felt the benefits were there. at the time of injury.

MANS (combination of both) Muscle and Nerve stimulation. (used more for pain and muscle rehab) -

ENAR- Sounds like something I would have liked to have- dont believe it was available for me...

You can send for a DVD and info packet about the machine
.

I was treated with the Ultrasound and E-stim/ followed by massage in physical therapy. Then, I was given both TENS and MENS units to wear for pain control. did quite well. but I would ask for a MENS - I liked that alot better

I do not know the cost for an ENAR, but I do know that the TENS/MENS are for home and every day use - freeing up the time in physical therapy I believe they are 300 or less.

One thing I would like to say, what ever the treatment you are able to choose. ASK to try both - so YOU can decide. ok.

I would like to add that in the long run - these treatments helped me to ultimately decide about the treatment I am now going thru at the cost of 30k for the treatment, and extremely worth it.

I had a Spinal columm stimulator implant done in August 2005 and I ahve never felt better.
How to describe it; have u ever tried a battery operated massage -- well you know that tingling you feel aftewards - that anesthesia feeling.. feels excellent and comfortable -- I HAVE BARELY ANY PAIN AT ALL!
