Body position during treatment
Position of the body during treatment is important. Generally, the tissue being treated should be a little taut or in a stretch position. Generally, sitting in a supported position in a chair, couch, or bed is best for most treatment locations on the body. See User’s Manual for more detailed information on optimal Body Position for different treatment locations.

Motion during treatment
The sensation from the treatment is a deep smooth tingling and pressure sensation as the muscle is held in tension in the volume of tissue being treated. Motion may cause a stonger or weaker sensation and will cause the location of the internal electrical field to shift slightly. Shifting of the electrical field is ost prevalent when treating the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, and feet.

The goal is to gently move the joint at the location to shift the sensation caused by the electrical field so that it focuses directly onto and encompasses the primary location of pain. This is a fine tuning of the treatment that will provide the best treatment results.

Contraindications When Not to Use BioWaveHOME

Do NOT use BioWaveHOME if you have an implanted cardiac pacemaker.
Do NOT use BioWaveHOME if you have epilepsy or are prone to siezures.
Do NOT place electrodes over the heart, or across the thoracic volume. Electrodes can be applied to the back of the thorax and lateral aspect of the upper limb (i.e. below/down the shoulder).
Do NOT place electrodes on the front or side of the neck.
Do NOT place electrodes on top of the head.
Do NOT place electrodes over open wounds, broken skin, rashy skin or sensitive areas.

NOTE:
Electrodes MAY BE PLACED directly over or in the proximity of implanted metal hardware including total joint replacements, rods, plates, screws, anchors and pins. See User’s Manual for more information.

Electrode Placement Rationale
BioWaveHOME electrode placements are different from conventional electrical stimulation. The mixing of the patented therapeutic signals occurs in a 3.5-inch hemishpere, not along the surface of the skin between the electrodes. As a result, electrodes need to be placed directly over locations of pain, or one electrode over a single location of pain and a second over a comfortable location to recieve stimulation – typically over a bony prominence near the treatment site.

BioWave Noninvasive Electrodes
The BioWaveHOME Pain Therapy System can be used with 3 different sized sets of BioWave Noninvasive Electrodes to focus the active electrical fields to different parts of the body:

E-Sets
B-Sets
U-Sets

The B-set is comprised of two 2.0″ diameter round equal area pain site electrodes for treating:

directly over 2 locations of pain;
over the region or source of pain, and over the most painful location that is closest to the origin of pain (for example, for sciatica, one pad is placed over the spine (origin) and one pad is placed on the buttock (most painful location closest to origin);
one inch apart from one another to treat a large area of pain

The B-Set is used for treating pain in the following areas:

pain in one or two locations in the back including, buttocks, lower back or mid back region
radiculopathies (radiating pain down the back or side of the leg)
pain in the two locations in the hip or groin
pain in two locations in the cervical spine, shoulders or knees
pain entered directly in the spine
pain presenting in a large area
