What's the difference between TENS and EMS modes?
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers explain that TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) targets pain signals through the sensory nerves, while EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) contracts the muscle to aid recovery and reduce knots. Many units in this category combine both; r/ChronicPain users specifically praise EMS for muscle seizures and knots around joints.
