Orthopedic & musculoskeletal
Pain and inflammation relief that penetrates casts, braces, and splints.
Where it fits
Orthopedic injuries, tendinopathy, and post-operative MSK recovery — spine, foot & ankle, joint replacement, podiatry, sports medicine. The 69% tendon-healing acceleration (Strauch) is the most directly relevant evidence.
An honest boundary
For chronic osteoarthritis pain specifically, the PEMF evidence is mixed — we present MSK use within the cleared post-operative and tissue-repair framing, not as an OA cure.
Who this patient is
She is 48 years old and had an Achilles tendon repair six days ago. She is in a boot cast, non-weight-bearing, working from her couch. Her surgeon prescribed opioids for the first week and told her to expect significant pain for two to three weeks. She is trying to manage on ibuprofen because she is worried about the opioids and needs to think clearly for her job. She is applying ice through the boot every few hours, which helps briefly. She has not been told there is a device that can treat through the boot — and that the evidence for exactly her situation shows 69% faster tendon healing.
The conversion moment
The MSK patient converts when she realizes the device is designed precisely for her situation — treats through the cast or boot, no skin contact needed, works during the 15 minutes she is icing anyway. The practical compatibility of the device with her current recovery setup is the conversion argument. The tendon-healing evidence and the opioid-sparing evidence are the clinical arguments. The HSA pricing is the financial argument. All three land together when the product page is organized around her specific situation rather than around the general device specification.
