Electrotherapy is clinically proven to be effective

In a longitudinal study¹, 376 patients with chronic pain were interviewed after using electrotherapy for a minimum of six months.

Electrotherapy can reduce the need
for prescription pain medications

While Empi Active may not completely replace prescription pain medications, studies have shown that in many cases, electrotherapy therapy may reduce the need for them.

After using electrotherapy for six months, participants in the study above reported a significant reduction in their medication use¹.

The next generation in electrotherapy,
Empi Active reduces pain in two ways:

• Electrical impulses stimulate the peripheral nerves that convey information about touch and vibration. The
  signals from the stimulated nerves interfere with pain signals traveling to the brain, reducing the brain’s perception of pain.
• Stimulation created by the Empi Active triggers endogenous opioids, which reduce pain through the
  same biological processes as prescription pain
  medications, but without the common, sometimes
  risky, side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
