HiDow stands out with its pre-programmed therapeutic TENS and EMS modes, designed by physical therapists and healthcare professionals. Our devices provide smooth, soothing pulsations for fast-acting pain relief without discomfort. Unlike most stim machines that offer only TENS or EMS, HiDow combines both therapies with an additional Microcurrent setting in one device.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a pain relief therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate sensory nerves and suppress pain signals to the brain. This helps the brain perceive relief instead of pain when applied to the affected area.

TENS is effective for various pain conditions, including lower back pain, stiff neck, minor aches, and post-workout soreness. Athletes often use it to help muscles relax and recover.

TENS frequencies typically range from 2-10 Hz.

Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NEMS), uses stronger currents than TENS to induce muscle contractions. These impulses mimic natural signals from the central nervous system during physical activity, enhancing muscle strength and function.

In medical settings, EMS aids rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injuries. Athletes use it to enhance workouts and expedite muscle recovery.

EMS devices deliver electrical pulses that range from 20-50 Hz.

TENS targets sensory nerves to provide temporary pain relief, while EMS stimulates motor nerves to improve muscle performance. They operate at different frequencies, leading to distinct effects on the body.

Generally, TENS/EMS is safe for most people. However, users may feel buzzing or tingling sensations, which can be uncomfortable. Rarely, currents may cause skin irritation or burns. Contraindications: Do not use if you have: An implanted cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator Pregnancy Epilepsy Consult a medical practitioner if you have: Cancer Recent trauma or surgery Cardiac issues Abdominal hernia Venous thrombosis The device is for adults; use on children requires supervision. Warnings: Avoid applying stimulation over the heart, neck, or temples. Only apply electrode pads to intact, clean skin. Do not use over open wounds or swollen areas. Avoid use while driving or operating machinery. Never immerse the device in liquid or use while sleeping. Use only with manufacturer-provided accessories.

Microcurrent therapy stimulates ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production, aiding tissue recovery. It delivers a sub-sensory current, which is effective in relieving pain from conditions like migraines and TMJ. It’s also popular in anti-aging treatments for facial toning.

Microcurrent uses low-frequency impulses to mimic natural cell activity, effectively bypassing many sensory nerves targeted by TENS and EMS.

Microcurrent impulses can be as low as 1/1000th of a TENS device, typically using 100-500 µA.

You can place electrode pads anywhere on the body except the heart, brain, front of the neck, or directly on open wounds.

Ensure the protective film has been removed and that the pads are moist. To extend their life, add a few drops of water after use and cover them with the protective film.

This usually indicates worn-out pads. Replace them for a mild, soothing sensation. Ensure pads are moist and making full contact with the skin.

Ensure a firm wire connection and that the plug is securely attached. Turn the unit off before adjustments. Check battery charge and pad moisture. Confirm both pads are on the same person.

No, individuals with these devices should not use muscle stimulators.

You can use it as often as desired. Sessions typically last between 10-40 minutes. We recommend 20-60 minutes per area, 1-3 times daily.

While our devices are cleared for OTC use, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare practitioner if you have any concerns.
