Can pads be placed anywhere that feels uncomfortable?

No. Avoid restricted areas including the head, throat, chest, broken skin, irritated skin, numb skin, and any area restricted by the manual.

Should placement be changed if stimulation feels sharp?

Stop the session, lower intensity, check pad contact, and do not continue if the sensation remains sharp, painful, or unusual.

Is a chart a substitute for medical advice?

No. Placement charts are educational and should not replace professional guidance for new, severe, worsening, or unexplained symptoms.
