2. How your Kalm Patch works

Kalm Patch is an electronic patch, which allevi-
ates pain and improves the mobility of affected
parts of the body.
Pain is always an expression of a medi-
cal problem. First clarify the cause of
the pain with your physician and then
try to use the Kalm Patch for pain relief.
Kalm Patch combines the effects of electronic
muscle stimulation (EMS) and transcutane-
ous – conducted via the skin – electrical nerve
stimulation (TENS): A microprocessor-controlled
stimulation program conducts current-induced
stimuli of different intensity levels via electrodes
that are affixed onto the skin to the affected
regions, stimulates the muscles and blocks the
conduction of the painful stimulus to the brain.
These stimuli from the stimulation program are
not painful. You will only feel a slight tingling
sensation and slight muscle contractions.
Typical Applications:
■ Pain from a wound: contusions, edema,
sprains
■ Back pain: stiffness, contractures, lumbago
■ Tendon-Muscle pain: muscle spasm, ten-
donitis, tennis elbow, contractures, block-
ages
■ Neurological pain: neuralgia, pain after
shingles
During the first few days you will typically start
with an application lasting 30 minutes, which
may be extended to 2 hours per day if needed.
The Kalm Patch does not supply your body with
active chemical ingredients. Consequently you
will not suffer the side effects experienced with
analgesics.
