Hey ladies, it's the day before my period and I'm already feeling some pre period symptoms. My lower back is really achy
It's throbbing
And so I'm dying to find out if TENS technology is
Really gonna help me knock out some of this lower back pain so that I can avoid taking some pain
Medications and just find some relief. Let's find out which of these is going to work. The first device
I'm gonna use is the Livia device. I
Just charged this the night before and it just has two pieces to it
It has a cord with the pads and it has the actual device
I'm just taking the cord and
I'm inserting it into the top portion of the device and then the other side are the pads
All you do is simply take off the plastic and make sure you kind of keep those for the next time you use it
So that you can put them back on the pad
I'm literally going to place them on my lower back where I'm feeling the pain
It's gonna turn on the button and I actually don't feel anything at the moment
So I'm just gonna press the plus sign to increase the intensity
Now friends, let's see if this device works. Does this technology even do the trick? I'm gonna try it out
I'm gonna spare you the details of how to use and turn on the Healthmate Forever
This is very similar to Livia but just has more cords, pads and modes to treat different pain points
Hey girls now for a quick review. Do these devices actually help me with my lower back pain and the answer is yes, they were
amazing both devices and totally did the trick and
It really helped knock out that throbbing feeling the achy feeling and normally I would have had to take pain medication
And in this case I didn't this is a fantastic option
Totally consider using tense technology to help with lower back pain
Whether it's during your period or even outside of when you're having a period you might suffer from lower back pain
Definitely a great option
now for the true test
How are these devices gonna help with my actual period pain by now you have got to be wondering
How does this thing actually work? What is the magic sauce?
The Livia device is basically a TENS unit similar to the Healthmate Forever. Tens
stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
These devices work off of a really cool concept called the Gate Theory of Pain and don't worry these don't hurt you at all
Take Livia, for example
It sends up vibrations or electrical pulses these vibrations travel faster than pain signals and race to your brain first
Closing off doors to other pain signals and by blocking off the pain it can give you the relief that you're looking for
Girls, its day one of my period and my contractions are really intense
I feel like someone's taking my uterus out of my body and just like squeezing the life out of it
But then I also feel like someone's taking a knife and just like stabbing me in
Different parts of my abdomen especially on my right side, which is where I have endometriosis
And I have some fibroids so my pain is really intense there
so I'm literally gonna try both of these devices and see if either can help knock out my pain like now both
Really help to reduce my pain overall
But it definitely was not a cure. It didn't knock my pain out completely. And so I really do recommend still using
alternative pain relief methods and so I recommend watching my video on 10 secrets to
Natural and instant pain relief because I think it's good to have a mixture of different options to help relieve your pain
Especially when it's really intense on those first few days of your period
For me the difference between these two devices was that I have to say the Health Mate Forever actually provided
More strength or intensity to help knock out a little bit more of that intense pain, and I liked that it gave me more
Options like it gave me more pads to put around my back my lower abdomen
Whereas the Livia device only had two pads that I could use so I felt a little bit more limited
But in terms of being able to move around go do errands
Go out for a meeting. The Livia device was certainly more helpful
Keep watching to get my full review of these devices to figure out which might be the right match for you girls
Let me know would you try out TENS technology? I think it's definitely worth a shot
It doesn't hurt you. And if it's a way to relieve your pain, why not?
So let me know in the comment section below if this is something that you would try
First question, does TENS technology actually work? Does it help relieve period pain? Absolutely hands down
TENS technology is an awesome option. It's a great alternative
That doesn't hurt you and it helps you to not have to take as many pain medications and it really does reduce
Period pain now
Let's talk about the actual devices the Livia device and the Healthmate Forever Now both of these devices
Do work but there are
Differences and I really want to help break them down so that you can figure out if either is a good option for you
Let's first talk about the Livia device. It is priced at around
$150. This device has literally been
Designed and created to treat period pain and with that in mind
The device is sleek lightweight
Discreet compact and that allows you to use it on the go when you are at work
You can clip it onto your pants. No one would even know it
You can throw it into your purse and use it to go run errands
It really gives you the option to take advantage of this technology
But literally while you're on the go if you want to use the tents technology
But you just don't want to pay the high price tag. The health mate forever is a great option. It's
Highly rated it's a high quality product that comes in under
$25 so much cheaper very affordable and it gives you a great alternative option. I liked this device for a few reasons
First is that it offers a variety of different modes, which is great
I could use it for my shoulder my back a
Variety of different modes to help you with general pain points that you might have on your body
Second thing I liked is that it offers not just two pads
but actually eight pads which is
Fabulous because I was able to use this device on my lower abdomen as well as my back all at the same time
The other reason I like this device is that it offers different levels of intensity for some reason
I really felt like this device was actually more intense than the Livia device now
Let's talk about some of the drawbacks you are getting a much clunkier device. This device is not some sleek design
It's not something that you can use on the go
I mean, it literally looks like a big TV remote control that you really are not going to want to take around with you
It's one of those devices that you would be like hunkering down in your bed or on the sofa with girls
I'm just happy that there are companies out there that are designing new innovations to help with women's health issues
