Kailo Patch Reviews

Two reasons I'm giving only 4 stars: 1) it does NOT work for everyone, and 2) the adhesive strips are crap. My physical therapist keeps a spare in her purse. She lets patients try it, and if it helps, she gives them the website info to buy their own (and then wipes the patch with alcohol for the next trial). SHE was put onto it by ANOTHER physical therapist, who swears by it for controlling her bone-on-bone knee pain. My husband works in pharmaceuticals, so I know all about placebo effect. Am I convinced by the "science" behind the patch? No; but like many things in life--and medicine--the WHAT is more important than the HOW. When I put the patch on my hip, it was like I had finally found the OFF switch for pain! And I truly was not expecting a miracle, so it was a startling experience. I have been trying for over a year to sleep on my back because the hip pain would wake me up, but with a pair of Kailo patches, I can sleep on either side like a baby and walk without gimping. The beauty of the patch--beyond the sheer relief--is that, when it DOES work, you can retrain your body to proper movement and alignment. It's not enough to slap it on and sigh in relief--USE that pain-free window to stretch and strengthen the affected areas to help prevent the pain from coming back! It's a PATCH, not a CRUTCH! The adhesive strips are less durable than Band-aids; possibly they're fine for somebody who wears the patch short-term. I wear them 24/7 (I take them off to shower, but you don't have to), so I need the full adhesive sheet. I do wish the adhesive lasted longer because I have to keep buying more sheets, but at the same time, my skin is sensitive and usually gets a rash or peels from any tape attached longer than 36 hours. Kailo's adhesive has never even turned my skin pink, even after continuous wear for days--and that's a big plus to balance the negative aspect of buying new sheets. Folks who don't have that sensitivity might be annoyed by having to update the adhesive every few days (or every few hours, if using those strips). I'm very grateful for Kailo patches, but my friend and my dad got no relief at all. It's a hit-or-miss kind of miracle. I'm scheduled (finally!) for joint injections and hope to reserve the patches in future for long car trips or as needed on other body parts.

Bought a Std Kailo and it seemed to work for my lower back pain. Biggest problem is the adhesive, which lasted only a day or two and lack of flex. I brought a Kailo flex hoping it would be better. Waste of money. Yes they are more flexible but the adhesive is a disaster and they made no difference to my back pain.

Purchased the 3 Pack for $199. Used on my back, I have had surgery and rods placed for L1-4. Seemed to slightly reduce the pain level to dull present pain. Then it folded one night and would not adhere. Got out the second and in 3 days it had a bend in it and wouldn't hold.

Contacted customer service and after 5 days got a reply they would replace one. I requested they replace it and haven't heard from or received a replacement. Facebook now seems to be flooded with other advertisers as cheap as $29.99 for 10 sensors - WoW, maybe it works for some, but Kailo's customer service works for no one!

People, if it's working for you keep it to yourself, don't tell it to everybody. It is only a placebo effect. It is so obvious this is a scam.

I was fully prepared to return this item, but much to my delight, the patch works! It did not erase all of my pain (from rotator cuff surgery) but it greatly reduced it. I have since bought 3 more patches.

0 stars. A well meaning relative gave me some patches to try . I have arthritis in knees and ligament pain in my arm.

I gave it a fair trial over 2 weeks and it did absolutely nothing. I examined the patch and concluded that a small change in sensation might be experienced just by having it stuck to the skin producing a little accumulated heat through insulation. Much the same could be experienced by taping aluminium foil to the skin or a thermo blanket. I compared it to a more traditional remedy for pain, the microwaved wheat bag and "Deep Heat" ointment. The results were so different. The heated wheat bag was so effective and comfortable. That worked. The ointment too.

People, because they have invested so much for essentially a silicone coated metallic pad want to justify their purchase and believe it works. The only people that Kailo would work for are the people selling it, improving and warming their bank balances. In short, I am convinced it's a worthless product and likely a con. But Kailo has a very nice building if you would check it out on Google Earth. They must be doing well!

It worked for my pain located cervical L 1-4 accompanied by sciatica. Sometimes when I have been on my feet for the whole day I'm in excruciating pain. I can not use codeine based products (seizures) So I really welcomed the relief these have brought me.I have NOT been asked to or paid to write this review.

I have used the patches on my knee and on my lower back. The patch seems to work but the adhesive is as pain to work with. The patch detaches at either end and I am looking for a method of attaching it above and to the front of my knee. There is no good way to speak to anyone at Kailo and discuss the problems. They are intent on selling only and support is non existant.

I bought this for my husband's shoulder pain. He said he felt the heat and didn't like it...it itched, he said and didn't help his pain that much. We put it away. He passed away in Feb. so when my knee started giving me problems from a torn meniscus and bone on bone knee joints (scheduled for knee replacement on Oct. 20th, 2022) I thought I'd give it a try.

After experimenting with placement, and never feeling 'heat', I suddenly realized that my pain was greatly reduced and that my knee was not locking up like it had and caused extreme pain. I can now walk without the walker for my knee.

In May I started having piriformis syndrome from two discs at the L4 and L5 and S1 and the pain has been debilitating...can't work, can't walk, can't function on much of any level and no pain pills seemed to work well enough (Gabapentin). I tried the patch on my back in a couple different places and found it gave me relief at least in the butt area, if not down the leg.

It works like a Tenn's but without wires but only if placed correctly. Be prepared to experiment with location. It may not work but how many other solutions have you used that didn't work as expected? We are all different.

They did not work for me. I returned everything just as they told me to. They then email me that the patches were not in envelope. Their way of not paying refund. DO NOT BUY ITS A RIP OFF

I bought the patch and additional adhesive strips and it was a total waste of money! After I requested a refund and returning the whole product within the 90 days money back guarantee period they do not even respond emails, have no phone number to contact and basically ignored my requests. Not only did I loose the money I paid but also the money I spent on postage to send back the product! This is a total scam!!!!

My L4, L5 and S1 are shot to the point that two surgeons said I need a rod. And sciatica has been an issue as well. I bought this patch and it's a lifesaver. You just have to find the right spot for placement and BINGO. Read the directions for placement. I bought a second patch to use for my hip bursitis.

When I read about Kailo, I felt that someone heard my cry for no more pain. I have severe arthritis in my back, knees and hands and recently had excruciating muscle pain in my right leg just above and to the side of my knee. I thought i was dying!!! That area is still very sore.

I use one or two canes to be able to just get up in the mornings. I have meds but nothing that I can get "hooked" on. That means I can feel better for a short amount of time and would have to take more nsaids. I don't do that. I exercise the best I can with my Total Gym.

Then I read about Kailo. Something that could relieve my pain - even just bringing the pain down to a dull roar would help!!! I knew it was a chance I would be taking and spending money I needed to keep in my pocket. But my one thought was maybe I could help someone else. I have good friends that have arthritis pain like I do.

I ordered the 3-pack: 2 for my knees and one for my back. When I received it I immediately used the two for my knees. I didn't feel heat or anything else except my pain not as bad as before I put them on. It took a few tries of moving them and then I found the perfect place for both legs. No Arthritis Pain!!!!

I say that Because that muscle pain wasn't gone but it was semi-quiet. That had to do with the placement of the Kailo. I was more interested in my knee pain for walking than the thigh pain. Everyone could see me not needing a cane in the house and at church.I would take one with me (they fold up) just in case. It was like a miracle for me. I am 69 years old and have had arthritis since I was 24.

Now I know there will be skeptics who will think I have been paid to say these things. I am a Christian woman and I believe in helping others whenever I can. Will it work for everyone one. I can see it doesn't. It did work for me. And just to prove what it does, to myself, I have taken them off!

I am back to barely able to walk, especially after sitting. I just felt I needed a break from Kailo. I will continue not using them until just before Thanksgiving. Yes, it's hard now but the thought of feeling much better for the holiday and 2 birthdays on that day is enough to get me through this.

My advice: try one of you have a lot of pain somewhere. Oh, I forgot to say that I have my third Kailo to one of my Pastors. I don't think it has been used because I haven't heard anything one way or another. I will ask for it back to use on my back. Hope this can help someone.

I am using this for leg pain which is completely stopped as long as the patch is located in a specific area of my thigh. I wish I could reach behind me and place one on my back.

My spouse cannot see to help me and the patch has not worked for her shoulder pain. It lessened her pain when she first placed it on her shoulder but not enough.

I told her this is because the patch is not properly placed and she has to move it around. She hurts to bad to experiment with placing the patch in different locations and doesn't want me too.

worked when I put the first patch on and none of the rest worked at all

I bought 2 of these and they do not work. I tried it in many different places. Do not waste your money. I believe most of the people giving positive reviews are being paid.

I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia and degenerated disks in the L4-L6 and now both hips hurt so much. I'm on opiates and they work for breakthrough pain if I take enough, but then I run out

I have a herniated disc and a bulging disc in my back and suffer from nerve pain all down my right leg. I have tried all kinds of things and treatments and as a last option, tried the kailo patch. I was not expecting it to work as well as it did.

I was very surprised with the level of pain relief I received. I think that those that don't get much relief from it are either using it incorrectly (such as for muscle pain vs. nerve pain) or don't place it in a location that will really help.

I really like this item and it works for me!!!

I've had back pain for as long as I can remember. Had back surgery which corrected a lot of the issues, but I still have ongoing pain. I use the TENS shock system (love it), as well as sticky smelly patches, creams, and sprays.

I bought the Kailo patch and after a really painful episode that the TENS didn't relieve, I put on the Kailo patch. Plain and simple, it worked. You do have to move it around a bit to find the right spot. I've got it on right now and my back no longer hurts.

The only negative I can say is the directions on applying the sticky tape. I think I put it on backward the first time and couldn't get it off my skin. So I redid it the other way and it stuck nicely.

I've spent thousands of dollars on lots of stuff to help reduce the pain and I have to see this product was worth the money. But like everything else in this world, it may not work for you. That does not make it "fake".

It woks for me and that is all I care about!

This product definitely does not work. Will be calling them.
