ActiPatch Back Pain Therapy Device, 1 Count

I was hit by a car in May 2017 and one of my injuries was to my lower spine. The pain was constant and harsh with sleep being a fond memory. Pretty much in desperation and without any belief it could help, I bought the Actipatch. I put it on at 9pm on the first night and....... IT WORKED!! Beyond my wildest hopes. It was not a cure but it massively reduced the pain and gave me back some mobility. I slept 8 hours straight that night, the first time I'd managed more than 1 hour in months. For me this was an excellent and effective benefit and marked the start of my recovery which, 3-4 years later, is as good as it's ever going to get. I used this product for about 8-10 months and only need it occasionally now.

I bought the trial ActiPatch first to see whether it made any difference to my back pain (on and off for 30+ years) and bursa (of 6 months) on my left hip, I really didn't think it would work but it did. The pain from the bursa went when I was in bed and most of the daytime and my back was quite a lot better. I then bought the monthly patch for my back and again the pain from both continued to ease. I do have occasional pain from the bursa but only in bed, at least I am having a good nights sleep which is a bonus. I do have occasional pain in my back but it isn't as bad as it was and considering I have been lifting paving slabs, stone and bags of unwanted soil my back has held up well which I know it wouldn't have had I not worn the ActiPatch. I have in fact bought another monthly patch. If you are hesitating buying the trial patch, get it, I hope it works for you too.

Works, as advertised, but a more secure method of keeping it in place is needed

I have been using actipatch for a while now ,every now and again my sciatica goes into overdrive where by i cant seat ,stand ,bend and basically have to lay flat for a couple of days .I used the patch a few yrs back and thought after a couple of hrs ,'my God I cant believe the pain has eased,so from there on i have always kept one handy.They last for ages ,some people sleep in them ,I have never done that by the time i go to bed and been wearing it all day ,their really is no need for me to wear in bed as the pain has subsided by this time......I have a arthritic knee requiring a knee replacement when the pain gets really bad i use my actipatch on that as well,I highly recommend this product ,not good for some but for me its brilliant even used on a broken leg!

It works. :I don't know why it works and I didn't really expect it to work! That is, it works with my chronic lower back pain, but it doesn't seem to help my sciatica. But I'm more than happy with it enabling me to do more than loading the bottom shelf of the dishwasher without having to take to painkillers and/or a hot water bottle. The only problem I have is that the velcro patches you use to attach it to the belt really irritate my back. I got creative with a tubular bandage and a pair of scissors and sorted that out. But the belt keeps folding up between my spare tyres, so I think I'm going to have to design my own belt for it.

Does nothing for the back pain my wife suffers from. Seems like a waste of money but I suppose it was worth a try. She also finds it uncomfortable to wear when leaning back in a chair and the Velcro bandage supplied is also uncomfortable. All in all not my best purchase from Amazon! However after persevering with it some relief is apparent so perhaps I jumped the gun somewhat so I am increasing the stars from 1 to 3. Have now bought a second patch after the battery ran out at around the quote lifetime. After around a month the patch will not switch off. During the night however it does but why not when the switch is pressed. It seems to be faulty but outside the replacement period so we are stuck with it and of course the useful battery life will be a lot less than it should be.This is the second patch I have bought and the first one was ok. I will leave it at 3 stars but am somewhat disappointed with the second item. Perhaps a quality control issue with the manufacturer? The very next day it has totally died and does not switch on at all. So I have bought two of these patches and one was OK but one was poor. I don't think a 50% failure rate is very good at all.

I have had chronic back pain for more than 20yrs and was on strong medication. I started using actipatch when I saw a trial version on Facebook and thought ile try anything as medication wasn't working. I haven't looked back, it hasn't cured my back but but it takes the pain away when needed and I have stopped my medication under the supervision of my Dr. I would highly recommended actipatch and have recommended it to other people. Don't listen to negative reviews try it for yourself and see

Please note that this is MY experience only and may not be relevant to anyone else wanting to try it. It was recommended to me by a friend who uses it on her back and she says it is amazing and has allowed her to lower her pain meds considerably. I was impressed by her experience and bought one - After twenty four hours of wearing it I was in considerably more pain than before and had to take it off. Possibly had I persevered things would have got better but I didn't want to take the chance. I put it back in its box and gave it to said friend - As far as I am concerned I will never try it again - however I would hesitate from saying it is no good - as it obviously is brilliant for some. Not sure if it makes a difference but I have both back (dislocated pelvis) and knee (Osteoarthritis) problems and I used it on my knee first. I didn't even try it on my back. The unit for each is the same, only the method of attaching it is different - I used tape and a neoprone knee support to hold it in place.

satisfied - thank you

Parael dolor me fue muy bien

Conosco la gamma di questi prodotti perché ho iniziato da un anno ad usare Allay per i dolori mestruali, che per me è stato un vero toccasana in quanto mi ha attenuato moltissimo spasmi e crampi intestinali che prima mi costringevano ad assumere forti antidolorifici per tutta la durata del ciclo. Ho scoperto che tutti i dispositivi sono identici e quello che cambia, per adattarsi ai diversi usi, sono i supporti per portarlo a ridosso delle varie parti del corpo. Questi di questo venditore estero costano comunque molto meno di quelli italiani (che in farmacia stanno sui 59 euro), inoltre quello che ho acquistato io non mi sta dando gli stessi problemi di malfunzionamento riscontrati su quello appunto preso nella farmacia vicino casa. Ho acquistato questo con la fascia per dolori lombari perché in realtà mi serviva per fermare il dispositivo a livello dello sterno, per aiutare la guarigione di dolori, fortissimi tra l’altro, dovuti ad incrinatura di una costola. E devo dire che ha svolto egregiamente la sua funzione, i giorni in cui l’ho portata i dolori quasi scomparivano, e credo che la guarigione sia accelerata. Ottimo dispositivo e ottimo venditore

Segnalato da un blog di fisioterapia notoriamente scettico ( e giustamente ) con questi aggeggi, si mostrava cautamente ottimista visti i buoni risultati in alcuni test. Provato con soddisfazione e consigliato ad altri cinque amici, tutti mi hanno dato riscontri molto positivi. Senza fare miracoli riesce a ridurre il dolore e infiammazione a ginocchia, schiena e altre parti del corpo.Di fatto bastano due cerotti e lo applichi ovunque.Attualmente lo sto usando anche per su una costola incrinata e anche qui mi è di aiuto. Da provare, una innocua alternativa ad antidolorifici e antiinfiammatori.

No me funciona bien a las 100h se enciende y se apaga cuando quiere me gustaría que me lo cambiaran porque me imagino tendrá su garantía
