HOW TO CONTROL AND REDUCE YOUR PAIN
When should I start therapy?
Use as soon as your pain begins. Start with 1 session (the unit
automatically turns off at 30 minutes). Turn off with pads still on
and RATE YOUR PAIN again (1 low to 10 high).
Get to your pain early
If you get to your pain early, it may prevent the pain from
becoming worse, or even chronic. It’s better for you to get it under
control sooner so that it does not reach a high pain threshold where
it limits your daily activities.
How long should you use it?
Start with one 30 minute session. Always turn the unit off with pads
still on. Rate your pain to check your progress, 1 low to 10 high.
Stop therapy session if pain has reduced or stopped.

See precautions on page 8. Long-time treatment and strong
stimulation may cause muscular fatigue and may generate
adverse effects.
When to stop using the unit?
1. If you experienced an adverse reaction (skin irritation/
redness/burns, headache or other painful sensation, or if you
feel any unusual discomfort).
2. If your pain does not improve, becomes seriously chronic and
severe, or continues for more than 5 days.
Remember, the unit does not cure your pain or the original cause
of the pain. It provides temporary relief or reduction of pain so
that you can control your life and activities better.
