Chronic pain is a common problem that affects many Americans. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 2019 National Health Interview Survey found that 20.4% of adults in the United States of America report chronic pain. Living with pain can lead to decreased job productivity, financial instability, reduced ability to carry out activities of daily living, and an overall decreased quality of life. The DPL Flex Pad can help change all this by managing pain safely and easily, right from the comfort of home.
The DPL Flex Pad is conveniently designed for use in multiple body areas. Due to its flexible form, it can effortlessly fit around your body’s contours, such as your lower back, and can wrap around your legs and calves. The size of the DPL Flex Pad is 10.5” x 5.75”.
The DPL Flex Pad includes two different size straps. The user can connect the two straps to create a single strap with additional length. You can use the longer strap to wrap around your back and use the shorter strap to wrap around your shoulder. The diverse strap lengths allow you to treat multiple body parts of different sizes.
Does your spouse have shoulder pain? Let them use it, and share the relief! Its versatile design is excellent for treating multiple body areas and can be shared with a family member.
One great feature of the DPL Flex Pad is its easy use. After fully charging the device, you can use it for three 20-minute therapy sessions. Just unplug the device from the charger and turn it on. It’s that simple! In addition, the DPL Flex Pad is convenient for travel. The DPL is worn hands-free and can be used around the house while cooking, watching TV, or finishing up chores.

People often manage their pain with prescription opioid medications. However, these pain medications are highly addictive and have led to increased use and misuse, now known as the opioid crisis. In 2017 the opioid crisis was announced as a public health emergency by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In a 2020 survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), 9.6 million people had reported opioid misuse.
Fortunately, there is now a natural way to achieve pain relief. The DPL Flex Pad is a safe and easy-to-use natural home therapy.
The DPL Flex Pad uses infrared and red light therapy to improve symptoms associated with various medical conditions. The main difference between red light therapy and infrared light therapy is that infrared light waves reach deeper tissues, stimulate cells and improve blood circulation.
As a result, the DPL Flex Pad may help improve muscle pain and other types of pain caused by various conditions. Arthritis, sports injuries, and nerve pain are just a few of the conditions that the DPL Flex Pad can help treat.
When choosing any therapy, safety is essential. The DPL Flex Pad meets Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for a Class II Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medical Device. It is safe for use in homes, offices, and schools.
Each recommended therapy session is 20 minutes, with a maximum session time of 40 minutes. The DPL Flex Pad lasts for three sessions, then is easily recharged by connecting the device back to the charger. To preserve battery life, it’s best to wait to charge the device until after completing three 20-minute sessions.

One advantage of infrared light therapy devices is that treatment is non-invasive. Aside from the previously discussed risk of opioid addiction, consumers should consider many other factors when choosing to take pain-relieving medication (either when taken by mouth or IV). All medicines have potential side effects and complications that can occur. In addition, pain-relieving medications can interact with other daily medications that you may be taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Using the DPL Flex Pad mitigates those concerns by offering a safe, non-invasive method of therapy for managing pain.
“I purchased the DPL to help with my back pain, and it worked great. My granddaughter tried it and loved it so much that I bought one for her.”
-Heidi D.
“The DPL Flex Pad is very well priced compared to other infrared light therapy devices. It is even FSA-approved, so I was able to pay with my flexible spending account. It works great for treating my neck pain.”
-Claudia F.
“I purchased this for my husband, who suffers from muscle cramps in his legs. The DPL Flex Pad works wonderfully. It is so easy to use and safe.”
-Tracy W.
Infrared light is not visible to the human eye. Infrared light therapy works by triggering cells deep below the skin surface. Infrared light helps relieve muscle and joint pain by stimulating increased blood flow.
You may see results after just one use of the DPL Flex Pad. It is important to remember that each person is different, and the time it will take to receive results will vary. For some individuals, it may take longer to achieve results.
The LED bulbs last several years and do not require replacement.
Infrared light can penetrate through clothes. You can wear your DPL Flex Pad over clothes or use the device on bare skin.
Infrared light therapy is well tolerated, but it’s possible to experience skin redness or irritation. Some medications may make you more sensitive to infrared light therapy. Discuss using infrared light therapy with your healthcare provider before starting at-home treatment if you are taking medications or have an underlying medical condition.
Don’t let your pain hold you back from doing the things you love. The DPL Flex Pad is a light therapy device that is safe and effective in treating pain. This natural treatment is non-invasive and FDA-cleared. Start using the DPL Flex Pad today to help achieve an improved, pain-free quality of life!
