When should you start therapy?
Use as soon as your pain begins. Start with one session (the unit
automatically turns off at 15 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 15 minute session. Always turn 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. Press the
Power button to continue therapy for another 15 minute session.

See warnings on page 9. 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 five days.
What type of pain is it best for?
This therapy works best on acute pain because it is localized.
Acute pain is pain in one area for less than 3 months. If you have
chronic pain, you may have pain in more than one area and for
longer than 6 months. Chronic pain may be compounded by
other issues that this unit cannot address.
Remember, this 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.
