how to use your pain patch

Correct placement of the patch on your body is essential for successful pain relief. 


Watch these videos and learn some useful tips.

follow these steps for pain relief

Follow these steps to increase your chances of finding significant pain relief using our patches. These instructions work for The Flex, The Kailo, or The Element. 

Your discovery of relief using our patches increases when you are calm, relaxed, and not influenced by alcohol or painkillers.

Step 1: Find someone to help you try the patch. Because placement is so important, and because it is hard to reach many places on your own body, having an extra pair of hands will be very useful.

Step 2: Give your pain a number. This sounds silly except to those who have experience with pain. Before you use the pain patch, write down a number from 0  to 10 that describes your pain. 0 = “no pain”; 10 = “I can’t think of anything else but the pain.” Recording a number will help you find confidence in how much the patch is helping to reduce your pain later on.

Step 3: Give the pain patch to your helper. Do not put an adhesive on the pain patch yet. 

Step 4: Your helper should start by placing the pain patch on the location of your pain. Placement directly on the skin is recommended. Focus your concentration on your pain. After placement you should experience one of the following:

  1. Immediate, complete pain relief (You’re all set. Put an adhesive on the patch and put it in the original location);
  2. Partial pain relief (Go to Step 5);
  3. No pain relief but one or more of the following sensations: warmth at the site of the patch, tingling in your nerves, or slight light-headedness (Go to Step 6);
  4. No pain relief and no sensations (Go to Step 7).


Step 5 - Partial Pain Relief: You may be feeling some pain relief and be grateful for it. However, it is possible that you can experience even more relief. Record a second pain number from 0 to 10 at this point. Next, leave the patch in its original location for about 10 minutes. Think of your pain number for a third time. If it has gotten even better in those 10 minutes, give the patch more time until the number doesn’t change. If, after another 10 minutes, your pain number is the same, experiment with different patch locations for 5-10 minutes at a time for each location. A different patch location might be a different orientation (vertical instead of horizontal). Or, it might be slightly moved away from the pain. We recommend that when you are moving the patch for better placement, move it along the nervous system pathway from your pain in the direction of your brain. Make very gradual location adjustments. When you feel like you’ve found a great patch location for pain relief, remember that spot, put an adhesive on the patch, and stick the patch back in place. 

Step 6 - No Relief, Only Sensations: If you are feeling warmth, tingling, or light-headedness, that is a good sign. Wait 10 minutes with the patch in its original location. Record a pain number 0 - 10. If, after 10 minutes, your pain number is the same or not much better, begin experimenting with different patch locations for 1 to 2  minutes at a time for each location. A different patch location might be a different orientation (vertical instead of horizontal). Or, it might be slightly moved away from the pain. We recommend that when you are moving the patch for better placement, move it along the nervous system pathway from your pain in the direction of your brain. Make very gradual location adjustments. When you feel like you’ve found a great patch location for pain relief, remember that spot, put an adhesive on the patch, and stick the patch back in place.

Step 7 - No Relief, No Sensations: Don’t worry. This happens to a lot of people who later find correct placement. At this point you need to begin experimenting with different patch locations for 1 to 2  minutes at a time for each location. A different patch location might be a different orientation (vertical instead of horizontal). A different patch location might also be placing it at the site of an injury that caused the pain, not where the pain is being felt. Or, a different patch location might be slightly moved away from the pain or injury location. We recommend that when you are moving the patch for better placement, move it along the nervous system pathway from your pain or injury in the direction of your brain. Make very gradual location adjustments. When you feel like you’ve found a great patch location for pain relief, remember that spot, put an adhesive on the patch, and stick the patch back in place.

Once you have found the ideal location to block your pain with your Kailo patch, you’ll want to attach an adhesive.

Once you have found the ideal location to block your pain with your Kailo patch, you’ll want to attach an adhesive.

Our silicone adhesives:

  • Are soft on the skin
  • Don’t pull out the hair
  • Will re-stick multiple times depending on both skin and environmental factors

Each Kailo bundle comes with a number of adhesives that you can quickly apply to the back of your Kailo for easy application.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to use our adhesives:

  • Align the adhesive (print side down) with the back of your Kailo patch.
  • Holding one end down, remove half of the adhesive backing as you adhere it to the Kailo patch.
  • Peel the second half of the adhesive backing and finish applying it to Kailo.
  • Now, you can store your Kailo for future use since the outside is not yet sticky.
  • When you are ready to use your pain patch, peel off the clear adhesive backing from Kailo and apply it to your body!

Kailo, with our adhesive backing, can be removed and reapplied to your skin multiple times (depending on both skin and environmental factors) before losing its stickiness. Plus, it can be washed gently with soap and water to renew its adhesive properties. If washing no longer restores the stickiness, simply peel the old adhesive off Kailo and place a new adhesive strip on your patch following the above instructions. A small percentage of customers have reported allergic reactions to our silicon-based adhesive.

First off, I’d like to thank you all for bringing this amazing new pain relief technology to market. It has been a real answer to my prayers for pain relief. I was injured and it caused me to suffer with excruciating, debilitating chronic pain for almost 5years. Then it caused me to lose my ability to walk, drive, work, have my grandkids over, I became a different person. No quality of life at all. Felt robbed of any and all joy in life. I actually got so depressed I contemplated ending my life. The pain never ever stopped. I don’t subscribe to traditional western medicine’s opioids and surgery was out of the question. I prayed for a miracle. And prayed and prayed and then. They were answered most abundantly. Thanks.

Dear Kailo Team, It is a miracle the patch you made. I was suffering from post-traumatic facial pain for years and the patch is more effective than any narcotics I tried. Thank you very much! I also shared my experience in our support group and at least one member ordered one patch and few others said they would order it. I’m not asking for anything (discount or whatever), just expressing gratitude. Awesome work!

I have been using the original Kailo patches. I use it to assist me with pain on my Rotator cuff. Also assists me with my Parkinson disease.
Alan Verified Buyer | 8/18/23
I bought a patch from you last year. My son has since had his leg amputated ( below knee ) which as you might imagine was paining him considerably. I gave him the patch and he said within 15 min. Most all pain had disappeared. He, and I are now firm believers and ever so appreciative.

I am suffering from severe sciatica caused by a prolapsed disc at L4/L5. I've been unable to walk sometimes. At first, I found it difficult to find where the Kailo would be successful. I emailed Kailo and Julie encouraged me to keep trying. Eventually, I found it worked best along the spine and along the nerve in the thigh to just beyond it and also from the top of the buttock to the spine. There was a definite reduction in pain.
John Verified Buyer | 7/12/23
Kailo has changed my life for the better. No more pain pills - I used to go to a pain clinic every month for pain pills--Since Kailo --no pain clinic or pain pills! That has been over two years ago! I love the Kailo patch!
Sandra Verified Buyer | 7/5/23
It is curious, the package just arrived, I tried immediately and this thing is a kind of sorcery the pain disappeared almost completely, I cut all tendons from my right shoulder (collarbone and acromium) I got surgery and the supraespinatus tendons have been hurting me for weeks but not anymore.
Diego Verified Buyer | 6/30/23
I love my kailo- I’ve recommended it to friends. My neuralgia caused by shingles didn’t let me enjoy walking anymore. But since I have kailo I go hiking almost every weekend and pain- free.
Richard Verified Buyer | 6/12/23
I have had tremendous back pain for years due to nerve damage in my lower back. I also have severe arthritis and this patch has given me more relief than anything I have tried. Please try it if you have pain. It really works.
