Treating Shoulder Pain at Home Gets Easier with the RS-SG™ Shoulder Garment
Treating shoulder pain at home with an RS-4i® Plus certainly has its advantages. Unlike physical therapy, massage or other treatments that require an appointment, this device offers prescription-strength therapy right in the comfort of your own home – available whenever you need it. There’s no travel time and no scheduling.
Adding an RS-SG Shoulder Garment makes taking treatments at home even easier. Here are 3 ways this garment gives an extra advantage to tackling painful conditions, like rotator cuff injuries or frozen shoulder, with the RS-4i Plus.
1. Target just the right spots – every time
Placing electrode pads on your shoulder in just the right position can be challenging, even when you have help. Having one of RS Medical’s RS-SG Shoulder Garments eliminates the guesswork because pads are pre-placed on the garment during patient instruction in the arrangement designed to give you the most effective treatment.
Changing out the pads is easy, too. A labeled grid inside the garment makes it easy to remember where they were positioned. Just make sure the change the pads out about every 30 days.
2. Put it on and start the relief
And because the pads are pre-placed on the garment, treatments get started more quickly. Any time you want to take a session, just put on the garment, plug in the connector and start the relief.
3. Create the perfect fit
The RS Medical Shoulder Garment is adjustable, so getting the just-right fit is a snap. Straps that go around the arm and torso make it easy to tighten or loosen the fit, and zippers also allow similar adjustment. This fine-tuning of the fit allows the pads to maintain full contact with your skin – helping ensure the best results possible.
Treat Pain and Improve Muscle Function
Shoulder pain is a debilitating condition affecting millions of Americans, but the prescription-strength therapy available with the RS-4i Plus makes it possible to get relief. And the addition of a Shoulder Garment to your treatment plan makes home-based, self-managed pain relief even simpler.
A Closer Look at the RS-4i Plus
The RS-4i Plus is an advanced home-use electrotherapy device that combines high frequency (5000 Hz) Interferential Therapy (IFT) for long-lasting pain relief, with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) for muscle rehabilitation. Patented Intersperse technology delivers both IFT and NMES during the same, uninterrupted treatment session. This excites the body’s natural beta-endorphin production to relieve pain for up to 8 hours, and provides rehabilitative muscle therapy that reduces muscle spasms, increases circulation and prevents disuse atrophy.
