Uses:

• JStim is an external, non-narcotic, electrotherapy system which can be used as a combined therapy in reducing pain levels and symptoms associated with Arthritis (including Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis).
• For optimal results it is recommended by the manufacturer to be used for 5 - 7 hours daily, 5 – 6 days per week. It works as a cumulative therapy process meaning that benefits of use and improvements are often seen over time and not immediately. Improvements typically begin after 3 months of use and after 6months to a year (approximately 1500 hours) even better results should be noticed. Once a certain pattern of relief can be seen and maintained therapy can then be scaled back.

Battery:

• The JStim Joint Therapy System uses a Lithium-Ion Battery and is charged through a cord to the device while the battery is still inside similar to a cell phone battery.
• The manufacturer recommends that after approximately 2000 Hours of use the battery will need to be watched and a replacement battery may be necessary.
• The battery must be charged before a session begins and the charging cable will need to be removed before the device becomes operational following charging.

Directions:

Be sure to charge your unit before each treatment!

• Quick steps to begin
• Familiarize yourself with the components that make up the Jstim System.

  • Spray the inside of the orange glove (active) with the conductive spray and also the black patch on the arm band
  • Then insert you hand back into the glove
  • Pull the grey compression glove over the orange conductive glove
  • Apply the armband to the upper portion (around the biceps area) of the same arm as the glove.
