01 — The Problem
Opioids silence the alarm. SofPulse restores the signal your body heals by.
The Signal — What the Trials Showed
02 — How It Works
Recovery Without Dependency
Targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (tPEMF) technology uses your body's own healing mechanisms instead of masking pain with drugs.
Your Body Already Knows How to Heal
When you're injured, your body releases nitric oxide — a powerful anti-inflammatory molecule. tPEMF technology amplifies this natural response with gentle electromagnetic pulses 1,000x weaker than your phone.
Place the Device, Press a Button
The SofPulse device is placed on or near your surgical site — it works through clothing, dressings, and casts. Each treatment is just 15 minutes. The device does the rest automatically.
Pain Drops, Healing Accelerates
Blood flow increases within milliseconds. Pain and swelling decrease. Growth factors activate over hours. Tissue repair accelerates over days. All without a single pill.
Pay with Your HSA/FSA
As an FDA-cleared medical device, tPEMF is eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement under IRS Section 213(d). Ask your surgeon or request one through our telehealth pathway — a licensed physician issues your Letter of Medical Necessity within 24 hours.
A physician authorizes your HSA/FSA in 24 hours
SofPulse qualifies as an eligible medical expense under IRS Section 213(d). Ask your surgeon to include it in your post-op protocol, or use our telehealth pathway — a licensed physician reviews your situation and issues a Letter of Medical Necessity within 24 hours. No paperwork. No phone calls.

tPEMF is FDA-cleared for post-surgical pain and edema in soft tissue. The strongest published trials are in breast, knee, and cardiac surgery; the same anti-inflammatory mechanism applies across procedures. This is educational, not medical advice — talk to your surgeon about your recovery.
06 — What It Costs
Pay with Pre-Tax HSA/FSA Dollars
As an FDA-cleared medical device, SofPulse is HSA/FSA eligible under IRS Section 213(d). A licensed physician issues your Letter of Medical Necessity within 24 hours. You save 22–35% instantly.
Letter of Medical Necessity included
A licensed physician reviews your intake and issues your LMN within 24 hours. Submit to your HSA/FSA administrator — no receipts, no phone calls.
Why not the cheaper one?
There's a $50 patch on Amazon. Here's the difference.
Cheap PEMF devices exist. None of them are the prescription, FDA-cleared technology with surgical-recovery evidence — and with HSA/FSA dollars, the real gap between them is smaller than the sticker says.
Drugstore pain patch
OTC, no prescription
- No prescription, no physician oversight
- Wellness claims only — not cleared for surgical recovery
- No clinical trial behind the specific device
- Not designed for recovery after surgery
Consumer wellness PEMF
e.g. wearable wellness devices
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Still no prescription, no LMN, no physician sign-off
- General pain-relief positioning, not surgical-grade
- No outcome tracking, no recovery protocol
SofPulse via Heal Without
~$340 effective with HSA/FSA
- FDA-cleared tPEMF — the class hospitals use post-op
- 14 clinical trials on this exact device — 57% less pain, about half the opioid pills
- Physician review + Letter of Medical Necessity included
- HSA/FSA pre-tax → ~$340 effective, 22–35% off
- Outcome tracking + recovery protocol, not just a device
Comparison reflects device category and regulatory status, not a head-to-head efficacy claim. OTC and consumer wellness PEMF devices serve different use cases. Effective price reflects HSA/FSA pre-tax savings at a 22–35% federal bracket; a physician-issued Letter of Medical Necessity is required to use HSA/FSA funds.

Questions
Common Questions
Your Recovery, Your Choice
194 pills — or 15-minute treatments?
Every year, tens of millions of Americans have surgery and go home with opioids. For an estimated 4 to 14% who had never taken them before, the use doesn't end on schedule — they're still taking opioids months later, and those who become persistent users face more than three times the long-term mortality risk. There is now an FDA-cleared device, studied in randomized trials, that cut opioid use by roughly half when added to standard care. The choice should be yours.
New persistent opioid use and mortality: Gong et al., BMC Surgery (2024). Opioid-sparing: Rohde et al., Plast Reconstr Surg (2010).
