Fast, Safe Relief from Pain, Anxiety, Depression & Insomnia 

Alpha-Stim is an electrotherapy device that has been FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and pain. Using electromedical technology, Alpha-Stim generates a patented waveform that work at the electron level to provide long lasting, cumulative relief without the risk of negative side effects of medications. 

Alpha-Stim is supported by over 95 completed independent research studies and published reports that utilize some of the most rigorous, controlled clinical study methods. Again and again, the Alpha-Stim electrotherapy device has proven to quickly and safely provide relief from pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. To learn more about the research, click here. 

Pain, mood conditions (like anxiety and depression), and insomnia are all controlled by your body’s central nervous system. The billions of individual cells that comprise the nervous system communicate every sensation by conducting electrochemical signals between the cells in your body and brain.

The Alpha-Stim electrotherapy device works by transmitting a unique, patented electrical waveform to modulate the cells’ signals to return to baseline, normal functioning—significantly reducing pain, anxiety, depression, or insomnia without the risks associated with medication.

With Alpha-Stim, many people experience significant relief after a single treatment. With continued use, the effects of the Alpha-Stim electrotherapy device can be even greater, increasing cumulatively over time as cell function becomes more readily modulated.

Alpha-Stim is a medical device that offers Microcurrent Electrical Therapy (MET) for pain and Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) for the management of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The current is applied by hand-held probes or self-adhesive electrodes for pain and by earclip electrodes for anxiety, insomnia, and depression. People generally report a pleasant, relaxed feeling during and after treatment.

Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during a single treatment and may last for hours or days thereafter. Insomnia is usually improved after the initial treatment but may take up to 4 weeks to see a significant change. For best results, most people treat at least 3 hours prior to bedtime. It can also be used when awakened during the night. Depression typically takes at least 3 weeks or more of daily treatment to experience significant improvement. Once symptoms have improved, use of Alpha-Stim 2 - 3 times per week or less is usually sufficient to maintain good results.

Following treatment there are usually no limitations imposed so most users can resume normal activities immediately. Some users may have a response that may affect their ability to perform potentially hazardous tasks, such as driving a motor vehicle or heavy machinery for up to several hours after treatment.

As with any therapeutic intervention, not all people will respond to Alpha-Stim treatment. The degree of efficacy will vary with the nature of the problem being treated, the overall health of the person, and with the method of treatment.

There are over 95 research studies and published reports, as well as ongoing research, patient surveys and professional endorsements, all supporting the safety and efficacy of Alpha-Stim. In over three decades of studies involving approximately 8,800 people, only minor, self-limiting side effects have been reported, with the two most common being headaches (0.10%) and skin reactions at the electrode sites (0.07%). In a recent 5 year period, 8,248,920 Alpha-Stim treatments resulted in only 14 instances of minor side effects, 11 of which were skin irritation at the electrode site. Alpha-Stim technology is safe and significantly effective when used correctly.

Alpha-Stim can be conducted during your counseling session. For best results, it may be used in the office in between sessions. Depending on your insurance plan, your insurance may cover some or all of the cost of the sessions using Alpha-Stim.
