When purchasing a unit, you may notice that there are single, dual, and quad machines. Two electrodes are used on a single channel, meaning you can only apply the electrodes to a single area. If there is a dual channel, meaning two channels, there are four electrodes, which can be placed in two areas.

Just like you have different preset modes on a treadmill, the TENS Unit can also have specific modes to target different areas of your body.
