Types of Pain
Duration:
- Acute Pain: Sudden, short-term pain from an injury or strain (like a sprain or pulled muscle). Usually goes away as you heal.
- Chronic Pain: Ongoing pain lasting over 3 months, often related to conditions like arthritis or nerve damage. It can be harder to describe and slower to improve.
By Where It Hurts or What Causes It:
- Muscle Pain: From sore, tight, or inflamed muscles, often due to overuse, poor posture, fatigue, or cold weather.
- Nerve Pain: Caused by pressure or damage to nerves. This includes sciatica, herniated discs, or sharp shooting pain from nerve compression.
- Joint Pain: Linked to arthritis, joint injuries, inflammation, or swelling in knees, hips, shoulders, etc.
- Internal/Visceral Pain: Comes from internal organs, like period cramps or pelvic pain. Often feels like deep pressure or cramping.
- Post-Surgery Pain: Pain and stiffness during recovery after surgery or from lack of movement.
Types of Muscle Use or Recovery
Muscle Strengthening Goals:
- Anaerobic Training: High-intensity exercises like weightlifting, push-ups, or sprints that build strength and muscle power.
- Aerobic Training: Longer activities like brisk walking, swimming, cycling, or hiking that improve endurance and heart health.
Recovery Support:
- Active Recovery: Includes stretching, foam rolling, massage, or gentle cycling.
- Passive Recovery: Includes ice baths, compression gear, hydrotherapy, and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) which Levina offers.
When using your Levina devices:
- Always start at a low intensity and slowly increase until you feel a gentle tingling sensation.
- Try different modes to find what feels most comfortable and effective.
- Never turn up the intensity to the point of pain — keep it below your pain threshold.
Absolutely! Simply turn on the remote control and stimulator, and you can use all TENS/EMS programs during your flight. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your journey! No need to worry about airplane mode or flight safety issues!
We recommend using Levina in a comfortable seated or lying position. You can engage in light activities like using your phone, reading, or watching TV, which should not interfere with your treatment.
Levina offers various modes and recommended stimulation positions. As you become more accustomed to muscle stimulation, you can also try light exercises during muscle training mode, such as squats to strengthen quadriceps or hamstring muscles during intensity or endurance muscle contractions.
DO NOT use the product while driving, operating machinery, engaging in heavy workouts like running or sprinting, or any activity that could cause accidents or injuries.
The device comes with a 2-year warranty, while accessories are covered for 1 year. This warranty includes free repairs and parts replacement for damages not caused by human factors.
The remote has an energy-saving feature that turns off the backlight after idle time. Press any button to wake it up. If it doesn't respond, it may need charging.
Levina can be used alongside other pain treatments, including medications. Please consult your doctor or therapist to ensure its safe use.
