Drug Free Relief from Lower Back Pain!
Does lower back pain slow you down and keep you from enjoying life?
Do you hate taking medication every time your back is sore? Now Aleve has a drug-free option for lower back pain! In less than 30 minutes, you can get pain relief so you can get back to your normal activities. I know how hard it is to sit back and watch the rest of the world have fun. Now you don’t have to!
What is the Aleve Direct Therapy TENS Device?
Aleve Direct Therapy is a flexible, wireless TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device specially designed for active people for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the lower back due to strain from exercise and normal household and work activities.
It uses unique patented waveform technology and there are two clinical theories of how this provides deep penetrating relief, by blocking the body’s pain signals and releasing endorphins. Aleve Direct Therapy allows you to take control of your pain so you can live your day your way!
What’s in the box?
- Remote control: The remote control allows you to adjust the intensity of the stimulation and stop and start the treatment. The batteries are included!
- Aleve Direct Therapy Device: The device is ergonomically designed to deliver effective pain relief across your lower back. It’s thin (making it discreet) and flexible and comfortable to wear.
- Reusable Gel Pads: These help the device stick comfortably to the skin- they should last for 2 to5 applications.
How do you use it?
- Be sure to read the manual first!
- The remote and device come pre-synced, but if the connection fails, just follow the directions in the box to sync them.
- Apply the Gel Pads to the Therapy Device.
- Prepare your skin- some may have to trim excess hair to ensure that the pads will stick to your back. Wash and dry affected area. Do not apply lotion to the area.
- Peel off the green protective pads, turn the device on and place on your lower back. Do NOT place directly on your spine.
- Press the start/stop on the remote control. Use the +/- buttons to adjust the intensity of the stimulation.
- Relax for 30 minutes and let the Device do its job!
My Thoughts:
If you have a busy life like I do, you can’t afford to miss any of it due to lower back pain. But all that busyness sometimes results in a sore back. Sometimes I get home from work and just want to lay down to rest my back. But, since I have started using my Aleve Direct Therapy TENS Device, I can relax for 20 or 30 minutes and then get on with the rest of my day.
I have used a TENS unit before and it was very inconvenient. It had individual patches, 2 or 4 dangling wires and way too many settings to choose from. The Aleve Direct Therapy Device is so easy to use. It is wireless, no messy wires to worry about. The remote control is simple to use and is set to stop the stimulation after 30 minutes.
I love that it is the perfect size to take with you on road trips or vacations. Sometimes we tend to opt out of fun activities due to anticipated lower back pain. Now, just put your Aleve TENS device in your bag and go!
Life is too important to just watch all the fun. Get back your life and relieve your lower back pain without medications with the Aleve Direct Therapy TENS Device
