BioWaveGO Pain Relief Pad placements are different from conventional electrical stimulation. The active electrical field forms beneath and surrounding each pad. As a result, pads need to be placed directly over specific locations of pain.
Pads must not touch each other:
- One inch is the minimum spacing between pads
- There is no maximum spacing between pads
