"I was taking photos in the warehouse where I was a web designer and Vice President of sales. I was taking photos of Ancestor Paintings from China, each painting weighs at least 75 pounds and they are approximately 5 ft by 3ft. The Ancestor Paintings were stacked against the wall in a pile of about 15; I was holding the pile while my helper got one out of the middle. I am petite and weigh about 115 pounds, I was unable to hold the pile and I was thrown backwards with about 5 or 6 paintings landing on top of me. I hit the cement floor herniating some discs in my neck and my lower back.

I have had headaches, pain, anxiety, insomnia and depression since that time. My life as I knew it was over I have always been extremely active dancing, weight training, driving my cute little BMW with a stick shift and my career as a web designer was over as I can’t sit at a computer for any length of time.

I was told by my doctors that I should stop everything, driving, dancing, weight training…and to turn off my computer. Always in pain, saddened by the thought of my active life being over depression set in, anxiety and insomnia became a regular part of my life.

My osteopath sent me to the pain clinic where I underwent many different procedures: Epidurals, trigger point injections, Prolotheraphy and was introduced to Alpha-Stim. For many months I would go to see the doctor and sit in his office with both Alpha-Stim machines on my ears and on my neck.

Gradually my pain and depression lessened, so much so my doctor wrote a prescription for an Alpha-Stim.

I use my Alpha-Stim every morning and evening. My headaches are less frequent, I am less depressed, my pain is lessening and my insomnia is diminishing. I am thrilled with my progress and have hopes of returning to my active lifestyle thanks to the help of my Alpha-Stim.

I would suggest that if you haven’t tried an Alpha-Stim device, that you ask your doctor why not? Relief is possible!"
