Treating Back Pain at Home Can Be Easier than You Think
Treating back pain at home with an RS-4i® Plus certainly has its advantages. Unlike physical therapy or massage, or other treatments that require an appointment, this device offers prescription-strength therapy right in the comfort of your own home – available whenever you need it. There’s no travel time, no scheduling, no exposure risk. Just apply the electrode pads and start relieving pain.
Yet, when in pain, placing electrodes on your own back in just the right position without help can be challenging, unless you have one of RS Medical’s wearable, conductive garments. The RS-LBG™ Low Back Garment and the RS-FBG™ Full Back Garment make setting up for a treatment much easier – meaning that you can get therapy independently, whenever you like. No second set of hands required.
Here are 3 reasons our wearable, conductive garments give an extra advantage to tackling back pain with the RS-4i Plus.
1. Just put one on and start the relief
Applying electrodes on the right areas of the body is essential for effective treatment, and our Interactive Pad Placement Guide shows you just where they go.
Adding a garment to your back therapy sessions makes this process even quicker because you don’t have to place the pads one-by-one every time. Just place them inside your garment the first time, and they’re ready to go. For your following sessions, simply put the garment on, connect your device and begin treatment.
2. Target just the right spots – every time
Inside each garment is a numbered grid with VELCRO® that shows where to stick the pads to get them in just the right place. Each garment can fit up to eight electrode pads, assuring you can get the treatment coverage you need.
3. Create the perfect fit
RS Medical garments are adjustable, so getting the perfect fit is a snap. The Low Back Garment has VELCRO® side straps that make it easy to tighten or loosen the fit around your waist, while the Full Back Garment has side zippers that also allow similar adjustment. This fine-tuning of the fit allows the pads to maintain full contact with your skin – helping ensure the best results possible.
These garments are also designed with comfort in mind. Constructed of light, flexible fabric, they adjust to any sitting position, and can even be worn under clothing while you take a treatment.
Treat pain and improve muscle function – your way
Chronic back pain is a debilitating condition affecting millions of Americans, but the prescription-strength therapy available with the RS-4i Plus makes it possible to get relief. And the addition of a Low Back Garment or Full Back Garment to your treatment plan makes independent, self-managed pain relief even simpler – especially while spending more time at home during the pandemic.
