ALEVE DIRECT THERAPY TENS DEVICE FAQ: USAGE

Aleve Direct Therapy uses TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), a therapy that uses electrical stimulation. It incorporates two clinical theories of how TENS provides pain relief: by blocking the transmission of pain and stimulating endorphins, the body's natural pain reducing chemicals. Aleve Direct Therapy can help relieve lower back pain due to exercise, normal household and work activities.

TENS is sometimes described as producing a tingling sensation and can
vary by individual and the intensity selected. Aleve Direct Therapy is
adjustable for the level that feels best for you and the wireless remote
makes it simple to adjust.

Each Aleve Direct Therapy session uses a patented 3-stage waveform
pattern:

Stage 1

5 minutes

High-frequency stimulation (sometimes described as strong tingling
sensation) can initiate the feeling of pain relief by suppressing the
transmission of pain signals from nerves. Find your preferred intensity
level with the wireless remote control.

Stage 2

20 minutes

Low-frequency stimulation in this stage feels like a gentle tapping
sensation. This can stimulate an increased endorphin release to reduce
the sensitivity to pain beyond the 30-minute session.

Stage 3

5 minutes

Like stage 1, this high-frequency stimulation can help maintain the feeling
of pain relief to complete the session.

Pain and response to any pain relief product vary from person to person. Aleve Direct Therapy uses electrical stimulation to help relieve pain. It was designed to incorporate two clinical theories of how TENS provides pain relief: by blocking the transmission of pain and stimulating endorphins, the body's natural pain reducing chemicals. To help get the most relief for your particular needs, you may adjust the intensity level with the wireless remote control.
