Is Alevia a replacement for my pain medication?
No. While your medication is designed to manage your pain, Alevia is intended as a complementary solution rather than a replacement. Some people who have successfully reduced their pain with the Alevia system have reduced their medication after consulting with their healthcare professional.
Chronic pain is complex, and many people also experience other transformative benefits such as improved sleep, increased activity, and reduced stress and anxiety—issues that can sometimes be negatively impacted by medication side effects.
Please consult a Healthcare Professional before changing your prescribed medication, to ensure that any adjustments to your treatment plan are safe and appropriate.
