Know before you go

Understanding neuromed nmes and tens.

01

How TENS and NMES differ

Both use small pads on the skin that carry a mild electrical current. TENS works at a sensory level, so you feel a prickle or tingle without a visible muscle squeeze. NMES is set higher, so your muscles contract in a smooth, rhythmic way. A 2017 review in Physiotherapy Canada describes NMES as muscle work you do not drive yourself. Exhale offers both on a Neuromed unit.

02

How a session feels

Exhale sessions run 30 minutes and cost $30. First, tell us where you feel tight and about any medical device or condition. Keri places the pads and starts low. TENS usually feels like a light tingle or buzz. NMES feels stronger, like slow muscle contractions. Cleveland Clinic says people set TENS to a level that feels strong but comfortable. The intensity changes the moment you ask.

03

What the research says

Cleveland Clinic calls the evidence for TENS mixed. Some studies find it eases pain, while others find a placebo works about as well. Any relief tends to happen during the session and may not last. The NMES research in the Physiotherapy Canada review mostly covers rehab after surgery, stroke or serious illness, used alongside other care. So treat a session as a recovery add-on, not a treatment.

FAQ

Neuromed NMES and TENS, answered.

How much does neuromed nmes and tens cost at Exhale?

Neuromed NMES or TENS, 30 minutes: $30. Prices as listed on Exhale's Square booking page, October 2026. Check Square for current prices.

Does it hurt?

It should not. The current starts low, and you can ask for it lighter at any time. TENS is usually a tingle or buzz. NMES feels stronger because it makes the muscle contract. Cleveland Clinic notes the aim with TENS is a level that feels strong but still comfortable.

What is the difference between NMES and TENS?

TENS stays at a sensory level, so it feels like a light tingle or buzz without moving the muscle. NMES is stronger and makes the muscle contract in slow, rhythmic pulses. Cleveland Clinic describes TENS as a pain relief method. The Physiotherapy Canada review describes NMES as a way to activate and strengthen muscles.

Is there anything I should tell you first?

Yes. Tell us about any implanted device, pregnancy or medical condition before your session. Cleveland Clinic advises a doctor's OK first for pacemakers and other implants, pregnancy, epilepsy, cancer, heart disease, blood clots and bleeding disorders. Also mention numb areas, broken skin or any allergy to pad adhesive.

How long is a session and what does it cost?

A Neuromed NMES or TENS session is 30 minutes for $30. You rest while it runs. It pairs well with a massage visit, the compression boots or red light therapy. Book online through Square or call 727-641-1731 with questions before your first session.

Will NMES or TENS relieve my pain?

We cannot promise that. Cleveland Clinic says TENS research is mixed, and some studies find a placebo works about as well. When people do feel relief, it tends to happen during the session and may fade soon after. For ongoing pain, see your doctor. A session is not a substitute for medical care.

Are there side effects?

Side effects can include tingling that feels uncomfortable or a reaction to the pad adhesive. Cleveland Clinic notes burns from pads are rare. The Physiotherapy Canada review says brief skin redness under the pads is common. Tell us right away if anything stings or itches, and the current can be turned down or stopped.
