Fibromyalgia Treatment
Fibromyalgia
Pain levels vary signicantly between individuals with
Fibromyalgia and can also vary within the same individual
day to day. Infrared laser therapy is painless, making
it a popular choice during are-ups. During an acute
are-up, we recommend you treat using a lower Depth
Setting (for instance, if you are experiencing a are-up
of your deep hip muscle/s, which you would usually treat
on the Deep Depth Setting, use the Intermediate Depth
Setting instead, and move the device after 60 seconds,
as opposed to 120 seconds).
Email SYMBYX Clinical Support with any questions at:
clinicalsuppor[email protected].
First Treatment
We recommend the top 3 most painful areas any one
session. For your rst treatment, treat a maximum of 2–3
points, per region of the body. The total treatment time
will last 45 seconds–up to 20 minutes, depending on the
depth and body part chosen.
Following Treatments
If the rst treatment is tolerated well (ie, pain-free),
increase the treatment points for the second session
by 1–2 additional points. With each session, you may
increase the treatment points up to a maximum of 4
points for a small region of the body (e.g. Achilles tendon,
open wound, wrist), and up to 5–10 points for a larger
region of the body (e.g. low back or hamstring muscle). If
you are treating 3 body parts in any one session, treat up
to a maximum treatment of 30 minutes.

Safety Precautions & Contraindications
Please review the Safety Precautions and Contraindications page
on our website and the Instruction Manual before use. SYMBYX is
not your primary healthcare provider and you are advised to consult
with one if ever in doubt. A level of caution should be exercised
when commencing any new therapy as there is always a small risk of
producing unwanted side eects. Safety glasses (provided) are required
while operating the DuoCare 904.
Do not use the device in contact with sensitive or broken skin
(including open wounds). For treatment of these, hold the device a few
centimetres above the area so the laser is not in contact with the skin.
Do not use the device in contact with eyelids. Do not view the divergent
beam with magnifers. Please perform your treatment sitting or lying
down, and take your time standing up to minimise any risk of falls or
injury.
Clinical Support

therapy immediately and contact our Clinical Support Team at

If the rst treatment is tolerated well (ie, pain-free), for the second

session, you may increase the treatment points up to a maximum
of 4 points for a small region of the body (e.g. Achilles tendon, open

Treating Acute Swelling
• When applying the laser to a body area with acute swelling,
keep moving the DuoCare 904 with light pressure, rather than
holding it still, for a total treatment time of 2 minutes (using the
Supercial setting).
• If applying the laser directly onto the skin is too painful, hold
the laser slightly o the skin to ensure more comfortable
application.
• Commence with daily application for the rst 3 days (if
tolerated) followed by every 2 days for 1 week.
• THEN use the device 1–2 times a week for as long as
condition persists.
» Acute conditions require approximately 2–4 treatments.
» Chronic injuries generally require more, 5–10 treatments.
