I've used it for lower back pain as well as my rheumatoid arthritis pain. "Snake oil"?? I'm not so sure...people are always skeptical of things that don't make sense to them. IF you've not tried it---well then it will still fall in that skepticism area. The Bemers, I'm familiar with and if they weren't so expensive I'd buy one of those for sure.

I agree that PEMF and TENS are two different things. I get physical therapy for my peripheral neuropathy at a location that also sells an infrared treatment device and provides PEMF treatments at a price. After doing some research, I purchased an PEMF ring on Amazon figuring I had 30 days to try it and send it back. I'm not positive that it's helping but my feet and hands are doing better. (with P/T, and a variety of meds, it's hard to pinpoint what is working and what is not). I also purchased a mat to see if it would help with back issues and my wife's arthritis. The jury is still out on the mat.
