 I want to share our experience with this product Nov 15, 2009
By C. Constantin
I feel like I want to share our experience.
My wife was in a car accident. Her knee swelled, was hurting and was making a popping noise when she was climbing stairs. The x-rays showed accumulation of fluid. No remedies were working and the situation was stagnant. She could not go to work. After about one week we got Actipach and my wife started using it immediately. 25 minutes after she placed the device on her knee the pain went away, for the first time since the accident. Within an hour the swelling disappeared. She used the Actipach in 6 hours sessions. The pain and swelling came back sporadically between sessions but with much less intensity. Today is the 3rd day of her using Actipatch and she had no pain and no swelling for the last 16 hours. I am an engineer and do not believe in miracles. But I am absolutely amazed at how efficient this product is. I would definitely recommend it to anybody. Currently the product has a life of about 750 hours of operation. The thing that needs to be fixed in the design is adding the capability to replace the battery. But use it without hesitation if you need it. It works wonderfully and has no side effects. Therefore I'm giving it 5 full stars.

Actipatch works as advertised. Sep 03, 2009

While I have had Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy (PEMF), this is amazing to have a device so small and comfortable to wear that I can wear it all day without discomfort or notice by anyone else. The unit was very effective in helping relieve pain in my lower back. My wife has also been using one for her pain in her shoulders, she is very pleased with the results. She actuals sleeps with one of the patches on her shoulder, and does not use it during the day. The patch does not get hot and it is actually not noticable. Once you have used the patch for a day 6 - 8 hours you will have a noticeable relief from the pain. It feels good not to be using pain relievers and potentially causing some long term problem with my intestines.
Pros: highly effective, comfortable, long lasting, cost effective ( a little over a dollar a day if used continuously) portable, and safe
Cons: The cloth material may be a bit light if you are a very active person like me.
Overall on a scale of one to ten I will give it a: 9

Terrific pain relief! Needs tweaking for on/off switch, battery life,and price Jan 14, 2010
By Kathleen Reeve
"LuMom"
I am considering my second purchase of the acti-patch since it gave very helpful relief of my chronic upper back and neck pain. I used it while sleeping and it is comfortable enough to allow you to sleep soundly without waking up due to cords, equipment, and heat as with a heating pads and other devices. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the inconvenient way to turn it on/off with a little tab you slide in and out of mechanism. A family member threw out the tab since it can be easily mistaken for an old piece of packaging and it was not easy to improvise with a piece of folded paper. I spent time doing this however since I LOVED the pain relief so much and wanted to turn it off to preserve the battery life. Which brings up another point that it would be more helpful if the battery was replacable and I didn't have to purchase an entire new product (not cheap at over $40 with shipping)As a medical professional and lupus sufferer, I would recommend this product overall as the best non-drug pain relief I've found to date.

beyond belief Jul 18, 2011
By vimarsanam
I used this product two weeks ago to help with a lower back problem. The problem was so severe that one night I could not turn from one side to another and had a tough time getting off my bed. I went to a physical therapy clinic who tried a few thing (heat pad, exercises and TENS) which helped a little bit. But the trouble was not gone. I couldn't lift my left leg by more than a foot above the ground, sitting at work was difficult and I was walking with a limp. I ordered actipatch and wore it overnight for about 6 hours. The next morning my problems were magically gone. This is the second week since this miracle, I have not had to wear it again and the problems haven't recurred. I highly recommed this to any one who is in pain.
