Research Product FAQ View Brochure Patch Placement  


IceWave patches are extremely powerful tools for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains.  What has been found through extensive testing is that HOW you use the patches and WHERE you place them will make all of the difference between how much pain relief an individual will experience with this product.  Think of this as an electrical circuit.  If we have a lamp and there is electricity flowing in the circuit then the lamp will light up; If there is no electricity then the lamp will not light. 

The same is true with the human body.  In Eastern medicine pain is believed to be a blockage of energy flow.  Once the normal flow of energy can be established then pain can be relieved.

IceWave patches should be moved as instructed below so that the maximum benefit in pain relief can be achieved by the user.  Also, make sure that you are well hydrated for best results.

 

STEP 1

First determine the specific place on the body where there is the most or highest degree of pain.  In the illustration the pain is located on the left shoulder. 

Now rate the pain on a scale of from 0 to 10.  Zero will be NO PAIN and 10 will be the level that the pain is at when you start.

 

 

STEP 2

Next, place a WHITE IceWave patch on the sternum (directly at the center of the chest).

 

 

STEP 3

Now place a TAN IceWave patch directly on the point where you have the most pain.  Wait about 10 seconds.  Now rate the pain again on a scale of from zero to 10.  Has there been any change in the level of pain?  How about mobility?  You may need to move the shoulder around to determine the level of difference. 

At this point some people may have experienced complete relief of pain.  Other people will have had a minor reduction in pain.  If your pain is not completely gone or has not been substantially reduced then go on to STEP 4.

 

 

STEP 4

Now move the WHITE IceWave patch from the center of the chest to ABOVE the pain.  If this were a clock, then think of the TAN patch as being the center of the clock and the WHITE patch as being moved to the 12 O’Clock position. 

Again, wait about 10 seconds with the WHITE patch at this new position and then determine on a scale of from 0 to 10 at what level the pain is at.  If the pain is gone then leave the patches at this location.  If the pain has not been substantially reduced then move on to STEP 5.

 

 

STEP 5

Now move the WHITE IceWave patch from the 12 O’Clock position to the 3 O’Clock position.  Again, wait about 10 seconds with the WHITE patch at this new position and then determine on a scale of from 0 to 10 at what level the pain is at. 

If the pain is gone then leave the patches at this location.  If the pain has not been substantially reduced then move on to STEP 6.

 

 

STEP 6

Now move the WHITE IceWave patch from the 3 O’Clock position to the 6 O’Clock position. Again, wait about 10 seconds with the WHITE patch at this new position and then determine on a scale of from 0 to 10 at what level the pain is at.

If the pain is gone then leave the patches at this location. If the pain has not been substantially reduced then move on to STEP 7.

 

 

STEP 7

Now move the WHITE IceWave patch from the 6 O’Clock position to the 9 O’Clock position. Again, wait about 10 seconds with the WHITE patch at this new position and then determine on a scale of from 0 to 10 at what level the pain is at.

If the pain is gone then leave the patches at this location. If the pain has not been substantially reduced then move on to STEP 8.

 

 

STEP 8

Now move the WHITE patch so that it is parallel to the TAN patch. This is called bracketing the pain. Again, wait about 10 seconds with the WHITE patch at this new position and then determine on a scale of from 0 to 10 at what level the pain is at.

If the pain is gone then leave the patches at this location. If the pain has not been substantially reduced then move on to STEP 9.

 

 

STEP 9

If none of the above steps have worked (this would be very rare) then repeat STEPS 4 through STEP 8, however this time apply the WHITE patch to the area that has the most pain and move the TAN patch around the pain. 

 

This IceWave protocol was developed after hundreds of hours of testing by Dr. Steven Haltiwanger, MD and has come to be known as “The Haltiwanger Cross” from the way in which the patches are moved around the pain.
