What Causes This Pain?

Understanding the root cause of your pain is the first step toward lasting relief.

ðŸĶī

Osteoarthritis (OA)

The most common form, caused by cartilage breakdown in weight-bearing joints. Affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Pain worsens with activity and improves with rest — until cartilage is too degraded to cushion the joint.

🧎

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

An autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the joint lining, causing inflammation, swelling, and progressive joint damage. Pain is often worst in the morning and improves with movement.

🖐ïļ

Hand & Finger Arthritis

The small joints of the hands and fingers are extremely common arthritis sites, affecting grip strength and daily activities like opening jars, typing, and cooking.

⚡

Gout Flare-Ups

Gout causes sudden, severe attacks of joint pain (most commonly the big toe, but also ankles, knees, and wrists). TENS cannot stop a gout attack but can help manage the pain between acute flare-ups.

How TENS Works for Arthritis Pain

Some people with arthritis use TENS as part of a broader comfort routine for temporary symptomatic relief support. It does not treat the underlying condition, and you should ask a healthcare professional how it fits with your care plan and medications.

Electrode Placement Guide

Comfortable pad placement helps keep sessions consistent. Use these common configurations as educational starting points.

1

Knee Arthritis

Box pattern around the kneecap (two pads above, two below) is a common starting configuration for knee OA comfort routines. Start low and adjust for comfort.

2

Hand & Finger Arthritis

Place small electrode pads on the back and palm of the hand, targeting the MCP and PIP joints. Use lower intensity (levels 1-10) for the small hand joints. Long lead wires make this easy with the Baoliter's 4-channel design.

3

Hip Arthritis

Hip placement can be harder because the joint sits deeper than the knee. Start low, adjust gradually, and follow the manual or clinician guidance for comfortable pad placement.
