Can TENS/EMS replace physical therapy?

No. TENS/EMS is a supplement to physical therapy, not a replacement. Physical therapy includes targeted exercises, manual manipulation, and progressive rehabilitation that electrical stimulation alone cannot provide.

How often can I use a TENS/EMS unit?

TENS can be used multiple times daily for 20-30 minutes per session. EMS should be used 1-2 times daily per muscle group with rest between sessions. Consult your doctor for specific guidance.
