Instructions for Use

1. Parts

The product consists of a Sciaticalm unit, leg and back straps and 
one AAA battery.

2. Preparation for use

The unit requires 1 x AAA battery (included).

Before use, unscrew the battery cover cap and if fitted remove 

the insulation tab and any packaging from the battery. Re-screw 

the battery cover cap tightly.

Always insert the battery 

carefully, taking care to 

insert in the correct 

orientation. Inside the battery

compartment the terminals are 

identified with a ‘+’ and ‘-’.

4. Fitting the unit

Thread the strap through the slot  
with the fibrous side facing the 
battery compartment.

Slide the unit the length of the 
strap and secure under the tab. 
Place the unit on the point of pain 
and loop the end of the strap 
through the black end buckle.

Use the longer strap for positioning 
on the lower back or lumbar 
region. The unit can be rotated to 
point downwards if necessary.

Use the shorter strap for positioning 
on the back of the leg behind the 
knee. The unit can now be operated 
by pressing the start/stop button.

3. Using the unit

In order to optimise the performance of the device, the nozzle on 

the lower side needs to be placed over the sciatic nerve using one 

of the straps provided. This can be either on the lower back or leg. 

It may be necessary to move the device to find the optimum 

position for pain relief.

The strap is then secured in order to hold the device in place while 

not restricting the blood flow by ‘over-tightening’.

The start/stop button on the battery cover is then depressed in 

order to activate the unit. The Sciaticalm unit can be stopped or 

started manually at any time by depressing the start/stop button. 

Do not exceed a 10 minute cycle each time you use the device.

It is recommended that the Sciaticalm unit is used for 30 minutes 

each day, in separate 10 minute treatments. You can use the 

device for less than 3 cycles per day, or for a shorter time. Use the 

device for 3-4 weeks for maximum benefit.
