Understanding the root cause of your pain is the first step toward lasting relief.
Tilting your head forward to look at a phone or laptop puts up to 60 lbs of pressure on your cervical spine. The average person checks their phone 96 times per day.
Screens positioned too high or too low force the neck into unnatural flexion or extension for hours, creating chronic trapezius and levator scapulae tension.
Emotional stress causes unconscious muscle tension in the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and suboccipital muscles — one of the most common causes of chronic neck stiffness.
Sleeping on your stomach or using a pillow that's too high forces the neck into lateral flexion all night, creating morning neck pain and restricted range of motion.
Neck and shoulder muscles are accessible for careful electrode placement, which makes TENS a practical home option for temporary symptomatic relief support. Use lower intensity around sensitive areas, avoid the front of the neck, and stop if the sensation feels uncomfortable.
Comfortable pad placement helps keep sessions consistent. Use these common configurations as educational starting points.
Place two pads on either side of the spine at the base of the neck, covering the upper trapezius. Add a second pair on the tops of the shoulders for comprehensive upper neck and shoulder tension relief.
For side neck pain (sternocleidomastoid), place one pad at the base of the skull and another at the collarbone on the affected side. Use moderate intensity — the neck is more sensitive than the back.
For specific trigger points in the trapezius, place one pad directly on the trigger point and another 2-3 inches away. Use lower intensity (levels 6-14) for trigger point work.
“Bought this for my wife who has neck pain from staring at her phone all day. The TENS mode on her neck works amazingly — she was skeptical at first but now uses it daily.”
- Robert P., Baoliter Customer“I work at a computer 10+ hours a day and had constant neck tension. The Baoliter has been a game changer. I do a 20-minute session at lunch and again in the evening. My massage therapist noticed the difference.”
