Quell - a wearable pain relief technology

Suffering from any kind of pain? Quell can help with the pain relief. It is a 100% drug-free wearable chronic pain relief technology. As the Quell is worn on the upper calf, it stimulates sensory nerves, which carry neural pulses to your brain. These pulses tap into the body’s natural pain relief response, thus blocking pain signals in your body for a widespread pain relief.

Enabled by Bluetooth, the Quell Android, and iOS app lets you control therapy right from your smartphone. In addition to adjusting the intensity of the therapy, you can also start and stop the therapy sessions. However, Quell is not a cure and using it doesn’t eliminate the cause of your pain. It can only turn down the volume of pain.
