Actipatch Back Pain Swelling, Bruising & Scarring Therapy Kit

• ActiPatch Back Pain Therapy Kit (one elastometric wrap & one 12cm device) induces an undetectable electrical current into damaged cells at a frequency which recharges the cell, stops the release of pain and inflammatory mediators, increases blood flow an re-establishes normal cell interaction. As a result, your body can begin to heal faster and you experience less swelling, pain and bruising. ActiPatch Pain Therapy provides clinically proven pain and swelling relief in a drug free, convenient patch. ActiPatch Pain Therapy is not a hot/cold patch or a magnet, but is based on PEMF technology that has been trusted by doctors and surgeons for years. Available in formats for your back, knee, wrist, elbow, foot & ankle.
• Recommended by numerous doctors, the FDA-Approved ActiPatch Back Pain Therapy Kit is the most cutting-edge solution for reducing post-operative bruising, swelling, pain, and redness, and minimizing scar appearance. This drug-free, painless electromagnetic patch is a medical device that delivers a pulsed electromagnetic frequency therapy in a small, patient applied patch, to accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries. The reduction of pain and swelling allows you to return to normal activities much sooner and facilitates your recovery. This convenient at-home 24 hour therapy is portable, lightweight, very easy to use and dramatically lowers the cost of therapy. Each ActiPatch delivers a minimum of 720 hours of effective therapy.
• Beyond its anti-pain and swelling properties, the Back Pain Therapy Kit helps to close wounds faster and clears off the discoloration and/or bruising most patients experience after surgery. This patch also prevents and reduces the appearance of scars by fighting the inflammatory response of your body – following a wound – that brings fluids to pull your cells apart. The Back Pain Therapy Kit fights this inflammatory process by sending an electromagnetic pulsed signal to the wounded area, pushing the fluids out and reducing granulation of the scar which leads to less noticeable scarring.

When soft tissue is damaged, the cells separate to prevent the transmission of infection. The cells leak fluid and cellular components break down while the cellular debris causes inflammation, swelling and pain. ActiPatch stabilizes the leaking cell membrane by recharging it. The pulsed energy delivered by ActiPatch drives of the edematous fluid along with by products of the damaged tissue thereby reducing swelling. The mechanisms provide an environment in which cell-cell communication is re-est
