...Operating your ReBuilder®
Your ReBuilder® can operate one set of lead wires and one pair
of pads. So you can use one pair of adhesive pads to treat your
feet, hands, back, knees, hips or shoulders.
NOTE: You can only treat one area at a time such as both feet,
hands or shoulders

...Standard Treatment Protocol
Connect the lead wire to input jack. Connect 2 adhesive pads to
leadwire. Place one adhesive pad on the ball of each foot. Turn
the ReBuilder® on and slowly turn up the intensity setting until
you feel a fairly strong tingling sensation and a small amount
of calf muscle activity, then turn the intensity down slightly
until it is gentle enough that you could fall asleep. Use twice
per day for 30 minutes with a minimum of 6-8 hours between
treatments.
NOTE: At higher intensity, you may feel pulsations in your calf
muscle. This is normal. If this results in sore or tired legs, refer
to the troubleshooting guide for assistance.
Using the ReBuilder®
...Gentle Start Treatment Protocol
Turn the ReBuilder® unit on just
until it “clicks” on to the number
“1” intensity setting. Continue
increasing the intensity until you
can just barely notice the impulses.
Use this setting for the first 2 or 3
days to let your nerves acclimate
to the treatment. After the first few
days, gently increase the intensity to the level where you can
feel the impulses but the intensity is still at a level where you
could fall asleep during the treatment. Treat yourself twice per
day with 6-8 hours between treatments. As your body adjusts,
adapts, and improves, the sensitivity level may change and that
is perfectly normal. Your ReBuilder® is working even at very low
settings.

Using the Adhesive Pads
Make sure your ReBuilder® is turned off. Plug the lead wire
into the input jack. Place one self-adhesive pad on the
bottom of each foot or affected area. Position the self-
adhesive pads one on the ball of each foot. Placing lead wires
between the toes will help hold the electrodes in place.
Once you have tried the electrodes on the balls of the feet, feel
free to experiment with different areas on the feet and ankles
to see what position will give you the most relief. Position the
electrodes to see what is most effective for you.

Adhesive Pads on Other Parts of the Body
The self adhesive pads can also be used on other areas of the
body such as the back, shoulders, and arms. When placing
the pads on the skin, leave approximately 4-6 inches or more
between them. Cleanse the skin of body oil or lotion with
rubbing alcohol before applying the adhesive pads to the skin.
NOTE: When using the adhesive pads on other parts of the
body, two pads have to be used in order for the ReBuilder®
signal to work.

Replacing the Adhesive Pads
To replace the adhesive pads, grip the plastic end of the black
lead wire and the plastic end of the adhesive pad and pull apart
with a slight twisting motion.
After disposing the worn adhesive pads, take a set of new ones
and insert the metal probe from the black lead wire into the
plastic connection on the end of the new adhesive pad.
Make sure to push the metal probe from the lead wire all the way
in.

Care and Maintenance
...Battery Care
Your ReBuilder® has come with a heavy duty 9-volt battery
already installed and ready to use. The battery generally lasts
30 days before needing to be changed. This is based on two
30-minute treatments per day at medium intensity settings.
How long your battery will last will depend on your particular
use. Always remember to turn your ReBuilder off manually with
the knob after your session times out.
...Adhesive Pad Care
Properly cared for, the self-adhesive stimulating pads can last
for many uses. Make sure the skin surface is clean and dry.
Cleaning the skin with an alcohol swab prior to sticking the
pads on your skin helps the pads last longer. Make sure to
replace the pads onto the protective plastic sheet after each
use and store in a cool, dry location. When the pads become
worn and do not stick as effectively, you can lengthen the life by
lightly moistening the skin before placing the pad. This will help
rejuvenate the adhesive a bit for better contact with the skin.
...ReBuilder Unit Care
Your ReBuilder® has an automatic timer that turns off
stimulation between 28 and 32 minutes. Make sure to turn
the intensity knob completely “off” after each use. If you have
difficulty turning on the ReBuilder®, make sure to turn the knob
off and remains off for at least 1 minute to allow the timer to
reset.

ReBuildeR 300 instRuction Manual 8
Everyone’s experience with the ReBuilder® treatment can be
different. Even if you have used the ReBuilder® before in a clinic
setting, using the treatment daily at home results in the best
outcome. The Standard Treatment Protocol is designed to meet
the needs and use ability for the vast majority of ReBuilder® users.
If this protocol is causing any negative reactions, change to the
Gentle Start Protocol mentioned in this booklet.
Any negative reactions indicate your nerves are very receptive
to the ReBuilder®’s impulse and will repair by using a lower
intensity setting. The Standard Treatment Protocol and the
Gentle Start Protocol are fundamental guidelines and your use
may vary. If you have questions about any changes in your
symptoms, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide & Treatment
Questions section, or call us for assistance at 877-717-5487.
If you are sensitive to medications, if your neuropathy symptoms
are hypersensitive (i.e. bed sheets bother your toes or small
things are overly annoying to your symptoms), or develop an
adverse reaction to the treatment, then you should call us for
a program designed specifically for you. Our toll free number
is 87 7-7 17-5487.
What to Expect Using the ReBuilder®
NOTE: If you experience any worsening symptoms or new
symptoms after treatment, refer to the troubleshooting guide
for assistance.

Troubleshooting Guide & Treatment Questions
Q: Why do my symptoms feel a little worse after I use the
treatment?
A: The ReBuilder® causes activity in your nerves. For
some, the amount of activity is more than their body is
prepared for, even if you do not feel the stimulation. If you
experienced heightened symptoms after use, discontinue
use for a day or two until your symptoms return to
baseline (your normal level). Then you can return to the
treatment, but at a bit lower intensity than you used
before. If you were only on intensity #1, then reduce the
treatment time by 5 or 10 minutes. After a couple of days
at the lower use, you should be able to increase again and
continue.
Q: Why are my arms/hands or legs/feet tired after treatment?
A: This is normal, because your muscles are being stimulated.
But if it becomes a problem, stop treatment for one or two
days, then return to a lower intensity.
Q: I do not feel any sensation from the treatment, should I turn
it up?
A: Most people are not going to feel any sensation from the
treatment until higher intensity settings. Those with a
significant amount of numbness may not feel much of
anything until very high intensity settings. The ReBuilder® is
working to repair your nerves.

ReBuildeR 300 instRuction Manual 10
Q: Why does the sensation I feel from the treatment decrease
during the treatment session?
A: It is perfectly normal for your nerves to become acclimated
to the sensation and you feel less sensation during the
treatment. This is normal and no need to keep turning the
intensity up.
Q: Am I supposed to reach the highest intensity?
A: There is no goal to reach the highest setting. Unless you
are very numb, you probably will not be comfortable at high
intensity settings. Your comfort will determine how high you
can eventually reach.
Q: Why does the light flash but I can no longer feel any
stimulation?
A: Replace the battery and try again. The lead wire may have
worn out and need to be replaced. If using the Conductive
Garments, they may have worn out and need to be replaced.
If this does not solve the problem, call us at 877-717-5487.
Q: Can I use the treatment more than twice a day?
A: Yes, but avoid irritating your symptoms or tiring your legs or
arms we generally do not suggest more than two treatments
per day. If you do try a third daily treatment start with only
15 minutes. You can work up to a full treatment if your body
is responding well.
Q: How long will it take to see results?
A: Everyone is dierent. Some see results immediately, while
others can take a few weeks before they notice a dierence.

11
Q: The ReBuilder® will not turn on. What do I do?
A: Replace the battery. If the battery is replaced and this does
not solve the problem, call us at 877-717-5487.
Q: Why did the ReBuilder® stop working during my treatment
session?
A: There is an internal timer designed to turn o the stimulation
automatically after the session ends. This is to prevent over
stimulation, as some people fall asleep during treatment.
This automatic timer turns the unit o in approximately 28
to 32 minutes.
Q: My ReBuilder® still works, but why do I have to turn it up
higher and higher to get the same stimulation?
A: Check the battery. Usually the batteries will last approximately
30 to 45 days depending on use before needing to be
replaced. The power indicator can still flash even if the
battery has weakened to the point of reduced or no
stimulation.
Q: Why do I feel the ReBuilder® more in one foot or hand than
the other?
A: You may feel stimulation stronger in one foot or hand than
the other. This is normal even with healthy nerves. For
those with neuropathy, there can be dierences in nerve
function from one foot or hand to the other, increasing this
dierence. The ReBuilder® device is designed to produce a
stronger signal on one side. This provides better outcomes.
Try switching the conductive rubber pads in the footbath or
reversing the socks or inverting the conductive FootPads,
(depending of course on which accessory you are using).

Neuropathy pain and symptoms can be vastly different for each
person, and not all ReBuilder® users will have the same
experience during use or experience the same results after
use.
Your use of the ReBuilder® will be based on your comfort and
experience and may not exactly match the daily outline
in this booklet. It is normal to need to take a day or
two break from treatment occasionally. It is normal to
experience changes in symptoms or experience new or
different sensations from time to time. It is normal for
symptoms to fluctuate during the weeks of treatment.
There are tens of thousands of happy ReBuilder®
users, all of them unique, but with one thing in common:
Relief.
