Dr. Ho

[nlt76]

hey,

anyone try one of those Dr. Ho or T.E.N.S. muscle nerve stimulator thingers?

wonderin if they would work on a sore neck or shoulder.

pardon the ho pun, by the way.

Yes but I have one. Don't waste your money with Dr. Hoe. Go to your chiro and ask him to get you one. Most good health care plans cover some portion of it.

Some herb stores in chinatown had something similar for 80 bucks or so.....

I tried Dr. Ho's pooper scrubber, but it didn't do much for me

Years ago I saw a "Real Sports Physiotherapist". They dealt with olympic calibre clients mostly (don't know how I got in). TENS produces approx. 1000 times the impulse that the body uses to stimulate the nerve, to get through the fat/muscle tissue. In the process of doing this it generates heat which actually can partly cook the muscle by damaging the proteins. It is used by physiotherapy clinics so that they can plug you in and move on to the next client.
Don't use one.

They are not meant to make muscle like weight lifting they are used to stimulate scared tissue etc It is called a TENS machine

There is a reason he is called Dr HOE

I bought one to help stimulate the nerves and muscles on my face during two bouts of Bell's Palsy. I'm not sure if it accelerated my recoveries but I got some psychological comfort knowing the muscles were being stimulated during the time my face was paralyzed.

I don't know if Dr. Ho works, but I can tell you Mrs. Ho works REAL hard!
