How to use PainGone on the acupuncture points - Back to health review summary

Research has shown that stimulating pens - such as PainGone - can also be used for non-invasive acupuncture. Please follow the simple guide to find your condition and locate the relevant points of acupuncture. When treating a condition for which more than three points are listed- start by trying out the first three points. If the effect is not satisfactory, vary the points until you find the best combination for you. Click 20 – 25 times on each acupoint you are treating.

When treating migraine or headache, you must apply stimulation to the opposite side of the body. If the headache or migraine is on the right side of the head- you should apply stimulation to the left side of your body.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture dates back over three thousand years, but only recently has it gained recognition as a valid treatment for chronic or long-standing pain. Using the PainGone on acupoints will stimulate the brain and encourage it to produce endorphins- the body’s natural pain killer. Use the guide below to discover which acupoints will be most beneficial to your condition and gain maximum pain relief.
