Dr. Ho’s Pain Therapy System

I just got it today from HSN. I must say I am completely satisfied. I have spent the day trying the different attachments and finding my settings. I have not felt this tense free since high school. The foot pads work magnificently. Aches and pains are gone that I didn’t even realize I had. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of Dr. Ho’s products. Thank you for what is probably going to be the best night sleep I have had in a while.

I have purchased the Dr. Ho's TENS Unit and was so glad! It's user-friendly, easy to figure out. The TENS Unit was able to reach the intensity close to that which the chiropractor's office had! This is much better, it is there when you need, and is rechargeable like a cell phone! It gave me the quality of life, until last week when a friend came over with a friend - who stole it! I have been devastated! They knew I have cancer and severe back problems that is painful with other chronic pain conditions. Oh, please note, if you have a heart defibrillator, etc. - you cannot use a TENS unit.

I’ve used this product for years, bought more gel pads, no problem. I’d never used gel pads dampened, made them dry first. Neighbour borrowing tens as she has nerve damage and numbness in foot, today she has done feeling in foot. Looking to buying a machine for herself.

This order is a scam and the product is a SCAM. They will charge your account $99 regardless if you like it or not. Don't get this product, it is not worth the headaches. The customer service is garbage and unprofessional.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Although the unit seemed to be well designed and functioning, it did nothing for me. Trying to get a refund was denied. I did not read the fine print. So beware! Batteries required but NOT included! The small spray bottle quit after one use, putting the cold gel on the affected area puts it into spasms, it is nothing more than a tenses unit for more money, etc, etc, etc.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bought this a few years ago. Followed all instructions, and could never get it to start. Wasn't worth the time and money to send it back. I wouldn't even give it 1 star. Hard to know when it won't start.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This Pain Therapy is more expensive than it's worth. The machine can be out of service at any time. I bought my therapy about a year ago and the machine is dead without any reason, never drop it. There is no spare machine to buy so basically all therapy is going into the garbage.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought Dr. Ho's handheld machine with the 4 small and large pads and I think they did me no good at all. I, however, bought the big white round foot machine, it's called "Circulation promoter fast relief for foot and leg pain". This machine turns out to be a nightmare for me. I used it for about 3 months approximately. Then my feet and legs started to swell up big time with water retention. This has never happened to me before or to no one else in my family of 7 brothers and sisters. Now I have to wear compression socks for the rest of my life. I am 69 years old going 70. This is a living nightmare for sure. I am about 90% sure that the Dr. Ho's foot machine caused this problem. The regular doctors won't touch this subject with a ten-foot pole as they all stick together. I cannot find any way to reverse this problem. These socks I have to wear for the rest of my life is horrible.

No, I would not recommend any Dr. Ho products to anyone. Plus, they are way overpriced.

Length of Use: 2+ years

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Received the machine then realize it uses batteries only. Also need to use with water wetting the foot. It is dangerous for my 90-year-old mom to use water on the foot to work on the machine, easy for her to fall if she suddenly stands up or walks with a pair of wet feet. The batteries and wet foot are never mentioned in the advertising, it gives viewers a misleading image that this machine is simple and easy to use. Those hidden trouble issues are never mentioned. Also, customers are required to pay for the returning postage. Unreliable company! Terribly upset.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Tens unit is a piece of junk, with no medical accreditation or certification. After talking to customer service for the third time and having the unit replaced once already, I'm grateful I ordered from Amazon and their no-question money back guarantee. It should be renamed Dr. Ho Ho Ho. Honestly, I don't know who writes the positive reviews but I suspect Dr. Ho's staff between sessions of lying to clients.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Purchased the Dr. Ho's Circulation Promoter system on March 1, 2020 for my feet.

1. On the box it states "helps relieve symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis." The unit does not provide relief for this symptom. Stretching and exercise provide more relief.

2. The equipment may be defective. The left foot side of the unit seems to provide more stimulation than the right foot side. Reached out online, using the contact page from Dr. Ho's website for support. I never received a reply back.

Too much bother to return.

Would not recommend because of the lack of support for people with Plantar Fasciitis.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
