Follow the pictographic for proper elbow electrode pad placement. For best results, keep to the size of electrode pads shown in the pictographic: large and/or small.

  • Elbow: For pain or soreness in the elbow, electrode pads can be placed gel side down on the outside or inside of the elbow, or both, depending on where the therapy is needed. You may choose to place two pads on the outside of the elbow, one on either side of the joint. You may also place two pads stacked vertically on the inside of the elbow or even a third electrode pad on the inside of the joint itself.

  • Elbow and Forearm Pain: Place two electrode pads sticky side down on either side of the elbow joint. One pad should be above the joint and one should be below on the forearm. You may also place a third pad directly onto the elbow on the outside of the joint and a fourth pad on the inside of the joint.
