Treatment for Pain, Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia

Treat pain with Microcurrent Electrical Therapy 

The Alpha-Stim® uses microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) for those suffering from chronic or acute pain. The Alpha-Stim® 100 works with your body on a very large variety of ailments, including difficult-to-treat problems. Alpha-Stim microcurrent technology produces residual and cumulative results, far superior to previous traditional transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) devices. Turn a TENS unit off and the pain returns. Although broadly classified as a milliampere TENS unit, the Alpha-Stim® 100 is significantly superior because MET works with tiny currents, similar to the type and amount of electricity that naturally occurs in the body. By comparison, the electric current used by typical TENS devices is thousands of times greater than natural body current. MET is applied through the use of self-adhesive electrodes and probes. Specific treatment protocols are included with the Alpha-Stim® 100. Although a slight tingling sensation is sometimes felt under the electrodes, it is not necessary to feel this in order to achieve results. Most people feel nothing at all except positive results. Alpha-Stim® technology is backed by more independent research than any other stimulator on the market. Our manufacturer, Electromedical Products International, Inc., has been in business since 1981, treating an estimated 8 million patients with the Alpha-Stim® during that time with NO REPORTS OF SIGNIFICANT SIDE EFFECTS.

Treat Anxiety with Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation

The Alpha-Stim 100 treats anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia with microcurrent using a method called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). The treatment is very simple. The current is applied by easy to use clip electrodes that attach on the ear lobes. Used just 20 to 40 minutes every day, every other day, or on an as-needed basis, it can help induce a pleasant, relaxed feeling of well being. The Alpha-Stim^® 100 is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs used in the treatment of mood disorders, many of which have been proven to have undesirable side effects and can be addictive. Unlike drugs, the Alpha-Stim^® 100 leaves the mind alert. Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during treatment. Depression and insomnia control is generally experienced after one to two weeks of daily treatment. CES can also help treat the underlying mood disorders associated with pain.

It may be used as an adjunct to medication and/or psychotherapy. After treatment, there are usually no physical limitations imposed so the majority of people can resume normal activities immediately. Maintenance of a relaxed, yet alert state is generally achieved with treatments three times per week. As a result, the Alpha-Stim^® 100 is suitable for clinical or home use.
