Your mind and body are electro-chemical systems.

While the healthcare industry heavily favors chemical treatment for ailments (drugs and medications), decades of studies have shown that application of small amounts of electrical stimulation called microcurrent can produce exceptional results and provide relief and healing.

If you suffer from pain, you know it can be aggravated by depression, anxiety and/or insomnia. Likewise, mood disorders also can complicate one another. The result is that treatments often involve several drug prescriptions, each of which can have undesirable side effects.

Relief for Both Mind and Body

Over 25 years of clinical trials, Alpha-Stim® microcurrent stimulators have been shown to effectively treat depression, anxiety and insomnia and relieve acute, chronic and post-operative pain.

The secret is in the proprietary waveform produced by the Alpha-Stim stimulators, which works by moving electrons through the body and brain at a variety of frequencies, collectively known as harmonic resonance. This normalizes the electrical activity of the nervous system and brain as measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Frequency Display

EEG Before Treatment (LEFT) This first chart shows a typical pain patient's brain waves averaged over two minutes. This is an abnormal frequency pattern

EEG After Treatment (RIGHT) This second chart was taken from the same patient after 10 minutes of Alpha-Stim use. It shows beneficial smoothing of the brain waves to a normal pattern.

Alpha-Stim for Your Mind

Clinical studies have shown Alpha-Stim Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) increases production of neurotransmitters (the chemical substances that transmit electric signal from nerve-to-nerve in the nervous system) like cerebrospinal beta-endorphins up to 219% and serotonin up to 200% after only 20 minutes of treatment.¹

This activity occurs either as a result of, or together with the production of a certain type of electrical activity pattern in the brain known as an alpha state which is accompanied by feelings of calmness, relaxation and increased mental focus. It appears to decrease stress-effects, reduce agitation and stabilize mood, and regulate both sensations and perceptions of particular types of pain.²

Alpha-Stim for Your Body

Studies have shown that microcurrent electrical therapy can increase the quality of ATP (the molecular energy packages in the cells of the body) up to 500 times. It also enhances and normalizes the bioelectric flow in the body. Amino acid transport is enhanced and protein synthesis increased. In addition there is an effect on the production of neurotransmitters as well as of the body’s own substances that induce a feeling of well-being and lessen the sensation of pain.³
