The iReliev® CONDUCTIVE BACK WRAP has been designed for people who
suffer from muscular tension and pain in their back. It provides a natural,
drug-free alternative that treats back pain the natural way with no side ef-
fects.
Your iReliev® CONDUCTIVE BACK WRAP is an accessory to your Transcutane-
ous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) or TENS + EMS device. It delivers elec-
trotherapy treatment in the low frequency range. When using this method,
electrical impulses are dispersed onto the skin using two or four electrodes.
This stimulates muscles, nerve fibers and acupuncture meridians in order to
activate your body’s own pain relief mechanisms.
Chronic pain can be treated with different methods such as medication, in-
jections, surgical procedures or with alternative treatment methods such as
acupuncture or TENS.
Electrotherapy treatment can block pain signals by interrupting the trans-
mission of impulses through the skin by means of electrical impulses. As a
result, the signal interpreted as “pain” is not transmitted to the brain and thus
not felt or greatly reduced.
Furthermore, it will work with the body’s own pain inhibitors as gentle electric
currents from the device stimulates the release of endorphins that function
as a pain reducer. The pain is therefore reduced or eased.
Electrical stimulation cannot remove the causes of pain or cure a disease,
but it could help ease or block pain.
In order to achieve all the benefits from the iReliev® Conductive Back Wrap,
carefully read the following safety information and warnings before use.
