ActiPatch®'s therapeutic electro-field and heat therapy combine to provide a unique stimulation of blood flow around the injured area to reduce inflammation, pain, and accelerate healing. Unlike drugs and hot/cold patches, ActiPatch® is safe for diabetics, arthritics, elderly, and for use over open wounds.

When cells are damaged, inflammation sets in resulting in pain, swelling, and reduced cellular energy. ActiPatch® calms the inflammation and restores cells to their normal energy levels. The result: your pain and swelling diminish and your damaged cells actually begin to heal for sustained relief.



Why Use It


ActiPatch® is most effective on soft tissue injuries, it is ideal for treatment of common injuries. People suffering from sore backs, sore shoulders, or Tennis / Golfer's Elbow can all experience relief with ActiPatch®. Wearing the patch directly over the affected area, affixed with medical tape or bandages, can reduce pain and swelling more efficiently than traditional remedies.

The unobtrusive patch consists of advanced circuitry and a battery-operated microchip to deliver the electrotherapy pulses. The sophisticated technology makes ActiPatch® a quicker and more effective pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent than traditional medication. The pain relief provided by ActiPatch® also lasts longer.

Testimonials

"I had a knot in my upper shoulder that was causing me great pain, to the point where I could not turn around. I tried ibuprofen and other OTC pain relievers to no avail. I applied ActiPatch and 24 hours later the pain was gone!"
-Patrick Haley

I have been surfing for over 25 years, and lower back pain is very common with experienced surfers. I don't like using tylenol or advil - I just don't like the cumulative effect these drugs probably has on my body. Acupuncture or chiropractic manipulation can help, but both are really expensive. I tried the larger actipatch for lower back with an open mind, and I am soooo glad I did - this thing is AWESOME! I put it on after a hot shower before I hit the sack, and when I woke 8 hours later there was already big improvement. I was just hanging out for the day so I kept it on, and by the end of the day I could do backflips - the pain was completely gone. This thing works AND it's non-invasive. Couldn't ask for better - we only get one body, and we need to take care of it. A+ for this product.

I had suffered from a knee injury because I fell onto a concrete floor at work. My left knee was inflamed, swollen and painful.I couldn’t wear any uncomfortable shoes nor drive my car (which has manual transmission). The Actipatch was a huge relief for me because today I can wear any stylish shoe I want and the persistent pain is gone! I’d like to extend to the makers of Actipatch a big “Thank you!”.

I love this product I bought the wrist one before and it worked great so when my knee started hurting from running alot I thought why not try the knee one. It did exactly what it said it would do and my knee pains are gone. So now I will talk about the flaws I wish the patch was just a tad higher quality it is a great product but the construction seems cheap. I have never had one fall apart but it is just something I noticed about it and sense this is a review I want to be honest about it good or bad.

I'm an off-again on-again jogger. I haven't been able to run much in recent years, because when I do, I get severe knee pain, and nothing has helped with it. It is a chronic problem. Well, at the start of the new year, I was going to start running again, and had heard about the Actipatch product so I decided to order one to have it ready for when the knee pain returned. I was a skeptic for 2 reasons: 1) nothing has ever helped my knee pain, and 2) when the product arrived, it was "cheap" looking (the on/off "switch" is not optimal, and the straps to hold the product in place are worthless. So, I ran 8 miles yesterday, and last night, I could barely walk, the knee pain was so bad. I put the Actipatch in place when I went to bed. This morning, I was TOTALLY amazed, but I have absolutely ZERO knee pain. None. I am stunned.

The product design could use some improvement (particularly the on/off mechanism). It does come with an ace bandage that works fine to hold the patch in place, so it's really OK that the "straps" are useless.

But really, I don't care what this thing looks like. It works. It works better than I would have ever dreamed. Maybe I'll be able to run more after all. I couldn't be more pleased!

I know this company makes patches for pain relief of other body parts as well. If I had other aches and pains, I wouldn't hesitate to order those patches as well. This thing is awesome.
