My hand is numb and tingly. Can this machine be used as a "therapy"

Yes it can but you best bet would be to go to the chiropracter. You sound like you have a pinched nerve.

I doubt it but then I am not a Dr. I would guess your carpal tunnel might be the problem. Maybe a chiropractor could relieve it.

I am not sure about "therapy." What it does is make your hand warm and makes the skin soft. The warmth goes through your hand (or foot). I don't know if that will cure "numb and tingly" but it sure feels good.

It could help as it will promote blood circulation. It depends on the cause of your numbness.

my brother uses it as his legs have lost all their strength as well as his arms. he is 84 and has heart condition issues also. the machine is helping him and is really easy to sit down on and work the pedals and the arm/hand levers. he really likes it and now uses it every day.

You shouldn't feel any tingling....unplug it, put it back in the box. I'd return it for an exchange

Please seek medical professional care. This product may not work well for you.

I had tendonitis instead, and yes instant relief as I was not able to place the hand over the mouse. Keep in consideration that this mouse will not work on all surfaces. Also, I noted a small pain on my shoulder as the movement is not the same

You can use the heat and massager together or separately. Both have seperate switches on the control pad, also they both have two different levels low to high.

I just bought this once and am still learning about it. I would give the manufacturer Plant Therapy a call (800) 917-6577 or you can write PlantTherapy.com.I put about 6 drops in 2 tablespoons of hand lotion and it helps with my aches and pains. I'm going to have to try sniffing it.

It's not a massage machine, it won't massage you for any good, but I would highly recommend this machine for acne use only :)

Not me. I use it to only make a topical (rub) solution to massage into sore, stiff muscles. Sorry...

I don't think so. I used it with my hands for rehab after a shoulder replacement. I forced it to go around faster than the motor wanted it to and got more resistance out of it. That's not good for the motor but I didn't want to be a passive participant in the "exercise". I ended up buying a cheap non=electrical unit that has a thumb screw on top to increase the resistance. It also allowed me to go backwards. This Motorized cycle goes at a particular speed and you just hold on. It's funny that people comment that they don't get a very good work out with it. They are passive while the cycle moves their feet of hands around. Hope this helps

I use mine every night. Naturally it took a little getting use to, but has helped tremendously with pain and numbness from carpel tunnel

Absolutely! This is one of the top uses for TENS therapy. I use it several times a week since my lumbar spine is a mess. All 5 disks are bad...

When I used mine, I felt the tingling mainly on the base of my wrist. I only felt it in my palm when I turned it up very high (rough seas). Reapplying the gel every couple of hours also helps!

I believe I read that you can.. but I would really recommend the hand held Thumper Massager for your back. I have both, and I can use the hand held unit on my back, shoulders, neck, arms, even the palms of my hands. There seem to be pressure pockets everywhere that you don't even know about until you have a wonderful massage there! Love having both. Hope that helps.

Yes it does vibrate your hands, however not nearly as much as the other end of the unit that makes the therapeutic contact.

I think it depends in the severity of your condition, but this works with minimum effort. It can be held lightly in the hand and be used.
