Unlike a TENS machine, you will not feel heat or vibration with ActiPatch. ActiPatch is completely sensation free. TENS machines are designed to provide pain relief by blocking pain signals, with treatments typically lasting 20-30 minutes. ActiPatch was designed to reduce pain and inflammation and thereby promote healing. Unlike a TENS machine, ActiPatch can be used continuously and for long periods, a lightweight solution that is attached with adhesive or inserted in a wrap/bandage.
From the manufacturer:
Chronic pain results from central sensitization, which causes the nervous system to develop a persistent state of high reactivity.
This serves to amplify and maintain the pain even after the initial injury has healed.
Therefore, chronic pain is often poorly correlated to the degree of peripheral tissue injury.
ActiPatch’s electromagnetic signal pulses 1,000 times per second to stimulate neuromodulation of the afferent nerves to dampen the brains perception of pain.
The ActiPatch® pulsed signal rate prevents adaption to allow long-term use.
ActiPatch® therapy extended pain relief improves sleep, physical activity and overall quality of life.
ActiPatch® relieves chronic and acute pain due to muscle and joint soreness, strains and sprains, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and more.
