Point Locators/Stimulators A point locator/stimulator is nothing more than a device that emits a small electrical current and then monitors the resistance or conductance of the area beneath the point of the device.

One of the continuing costs of use of a tens unit is the electrodes that are necessary for the operation of the unit. If your insurance company has purchased the unit for you then the continuing costs are covered, if not then it is out of pocket which is why we recommend using your insurance for the purchase so these costsare covered. Here are some helpful tips to prolong the use of the
