5 Simple Steps to Pain Relief with Alpha-Stim
Alpha-Stim FAQs
Alpha-Stim® is a handheld medical device that brings fast, safe, and effective relief from acute, post-traumatic, and chronic pain.
With Alpha-Stim, microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) is delivered through a patented waveform directly to the site of the pain using two Smart Probes and a proven protocol that was developed by Dr. Daniel L. Kirsch, inventor of Alpha-Stim.
How Alpha-Stim Works to Relieve Pain
Physical discomfort is transmitted by electrochemical signals that go from the source of your pain to your brain. Instead of providing relief via a chemical method, like pain-relieving drugs that can have long-term side effects and risk of addiction, the Alpha-Stim device treats right at the source of pain and directly to your brain.
It takes less than 5 minutes to treat the site of your pain using the Alpha-Stim Smart Probes. We also suggest afterward wearing the earclips for 20 minutes to treat the anxiety or insomnia that can often accompany the pain.
Both can be done in the comfort of your home. Most Alpha-Stim users notice an immediate reduction in pain and an improved quality of life, even from their first treatment.
5 Steps for Relieving Pain with Alpha-Stim
Step 1: The Big X
Using the Smart Probes, make a large X over the site of your pain. In this step, you want to think big – if the pain is in your knee, the X will encompass most of your leg.
Step 2: The Star Pattern
Now move closer to where it hurts, making a series of smaller X’s to form a star pattern around the site of your pain.
Step 3: Treat the Opposite Side
In Step 3, you’ll use the Smart Probes to treat the opposite side of the body. So if your left knee hurts, you will also treat the right.
Step 4: Connect the Two Sides
Now it’s time to connect the two sides of the body.
Step 5: Finish with Earclips
A 20-minute cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) session via earclips is the final step and is what sets the device apart from other electrical treatments for pain. Alpha-Stim also treats accompanying anxiety, insomnia, and depression* via the earclips.
*FDA cleared for anxiety, insomnia, and pain only, with approval for depression outside of the United States.
