Discover the Power
of Pain Relief & Compression

BioWave^® devices alternate the delivery of two summed high frequency sinusoidal alternating current signals (4062 hz + 3940 hz), back and forth to two independent electrodes. The high frequency signals are able to bypass the impedance of skin and travel into deep tissue beneath and surrounding each electrode.⁽¹⁾ 

As the high frequency signals contact polarized structures inside the body, such as the plus charge sitting at the membrane of the C-fiber, A-delta fiber or muscle tissue, the two high frequencies are multiplied together resulting in a new spectrum of frequencies that form an active electrical field in a 3.5 inch diameter hemisphere (think of half of a grapefruit) beneath each 2” diameter electrode sitting at the surface of the skin. This active electrical field is comprised of 3 high frequency components (8002 hz, 4062 Hz, 3940 Hz), one low frequency component (122 hz) and harmonics on the low frequency, which contribute to hyperpolarize pain nerve fibers, preventing the sodium-potassium ion exchange across the membrane of C-fibers, interrupting action potential propagation along pain nerves, and preventing the transmission of the pain signal to the brain. The active electrical field also induces hypoesthesia on A-delta fibers about 5 minutes into the treatment and the loss of proprioception and light numbness lasts typically for 30 minutes post treatment in the regions beneath and surrounding each electrode. Patients receive immediate pain relief as they increase the intensity of the active electrical field as well as a long carry over effect following the 30-minute treatment. Residual pain relief lasts post-treatment for 8 hours on average(3) and can last up to 72 hours depending on the type of BioWave® device and electrode used on the patient.(2,3)
