HOW TO CONTROL AND REDUCE YOUR
PAIN
When should the device be used?
Use as soon as your pain begins. Start with one session. If
you address your pain early, it may prevent the pain from
becoming worse, or even chronic. It is better to get pain
under control sooner so it does not reach such a high pain
threshold that it limits your daily activities.
Setting the intensity
Intensity is based upon your level of comfort. Begin the
first session with a low intensity and a short duration while

How long should you use the device?
Start with one 30-minute session. Always turn unit off with

refrain from treating those areas for 2 days. If this issue
reoccurs, reduce the treatment time and intensity settings
for future treatment.
