5.2 Treatment Regimen for Acute Pain
(For Example as Part of an Athletic Training Regimen)
For treating acute pain (or chronic pain) for example in a sports setting, multiple
treatmentsmayproduceacumulativebenet.Athleteswhenperforminginpracticeor
a game are reaggravating their injury, so the following multiple treatment regimen is
recommended:
1. Treat for 30 minutes immediately preceding practice or a game. This treatment
may be completed in combination with heat if so desired but is not necessary. A
barrier like a towel, an Ace bandage or another type of wrap should be placed
over the BioWave Pain Relief Pads before placing a heating pad on top of them.
2. Treat a second time for 30 minutes immediately following practice or a game. This
treatment may be completed in combination with cold therapy (ice) if so desired. A
barrier like a towel, an Ace bandage or another type of wrap should be placed over
the BioWave Pain Relief Pads before placing ice on top of them. For use with cold
andcompressiondevices,thePainReliefPadsshouldrstbeplacedontheskinand
then the cold/compression cuff may be placed over the Pain Relief Pads. Do not
use the compression setting on the device during the BioWave treatment.
3. Time permitting, treat a third time for 30 minutes approximately 2 to 3 hours
following the second treatment.
Three 30-minute treatments each separated by 2 to 3 hours produce the best
outcome. If you are time constrained, individual treatment times should not be less
than 20 minutes.
30 minutes is the optimal treatment time. Individual treatments longer than 30 minutes
typicallywillnotproducegreaterorlongerlastingefcacy.
