Congratulaons on taking control of your pain! TENDLITE® uses LED Red Light Therapy
to provide direct, non-addicve, drug-free pain relief.

While many people achieve pain relief from Red Light Therapy almost immediately,
others see measurable pain relief incrementally over me. Depending upon injury
type, severity and dierent pain pathways involved, people vary in therapy response
me. This is why we recommend comming to a 3-Week Treatment Plan.
If you see results right away, great, connue treang as needed. However, if you do not
feel relief as quickly, know that this is also normal, so try not to get frustrated. Simply
treat your pain consistently with 3 quick treatments per day with the Tendlite, for up to
3 minutes each me per treatment spot. Aer 3 weeks of consistent red light therapy,
most people experience a diminishing of their pain.

Although you may not be sased with current treatments, they may be having a par-
al eect on the level of your pain. If you stop suddenly, you may experience a large
increase in pain. This can be a sort of “rebound” pain eect or pain “are up” which
may be very dicult to get back under control. Some medicaons may also cause with-
drawal like side eects if stopped too quickly, especially prescripon medicines.
While connuing with your current treatments, start your red light therapy, giving your
Tendlite me to provide opmal pain relief. Aer you have achieved maximum pain
relief from your Tendlite, you may then consider slowly weaning yourself o of other
medicaons or treatments. If you plan to reduce or stop a prescripon medicaon, rst
consult with your physician.
For many people, Red light therapy works so well, that they are able to come o pain
pills completely. Others are able to reduce the amount of pain medicaons they are
6

on, reducing the risk of drug side eects.

So you’re geng great pain relief from Tendlite and you want to go right back to all the
things you couldn’t do while you were in pain, right? Remember, as good as you feel,
you can easily re-injure yourself if you are not fully recovered from an acute injury.
A chronic condion can be easily aggravated if you over do it. It’s best to go back to
normal acvies cauously, increasing acvity level slowly to make sure your body can
handle it. Some condions take longer periods of rest or immobilizaon to fully heal.
Somemes braces and other forms of support are recommended. If you keep aggra-
vang an exisng condion, or re-injuring yourself, contact your physician to see what
you can do to avoid re-injury. Oen mes physical therapy or specic strengthening
and exibility exercises are recommended.

05 DIRECTIONS FOR USE
17

• Do not use the device towards the front of the throat as it may interfere with thyroid
funcon. It has not been studied for use near the thyroid.
5.1. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON JOINTS
• Hold the unit over the painful area at a distance anywhere from touching the skin to
1 inch away from the skin, depending on the depth of treatment desired. The Red
light penetrates up to 1 inch into your ssue/joint. Reaching your tendon, carlage,
disc, ligaments and joint directly, which makes the treatment very eecve.
• Hold the unit steady on that spot for anywhere from 1 minute (1 dose) to 3 minutes
(3 doses). Then proceed to any addional spots and repeat the regimen. See DOS-
AGE CHART page 24.
• For large joints, it may be necessary to treat the enre joint area by treang it in
secons. Treat 1 secon at a me, by holding the Tendlite steady in place for 1 to
18

3 minutes. Move the light to dierent angles around the painful/injured area. For
example, if it is a knee or a shoulder, point the light at dierent angles around the
circumference of the joint, as you feel the need.
• Allow a day for full impact of treatment to begin. For chronic pain, repeat treatment
2 to 3 mes daily for at least 3 weeks.
Simple and easy use of your Tendlite®
19

5.2 SESSION FREQUENCY
For joint pain, daily sessions are recommended, 2 to 3 mes per day. For other condi-
ons, 3 mes a week is oen enough.
DO NOT KEEP THE DEVICE ON FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AT A TIME. If you want to
treat several parts of your body consecuvely, TURN OFF the device for at least 1 MIN-
UTE, aer every 10 minutes ON. This will keep the unit from overheang.
5.3 TREATMENT PERIOD
For best results, use the Tendlite® Device every day for three weeks, twice or three
mes per day from 1 minute (1 dose) to 3 minutes (3 doses) cycles per use. Many peo-
ple start geng pain relief almost immediately and others in just a few days.
Consult your doctor if the pain persists or is severe. Please read this manual before use,
in order to take full advantage of your Tendlite® by Lumina Group Inc.
Treatments can be ongoing. Treatment periods can be as short as a single session for
20
