Lieutenant Colonel Relieves Back Pain With Alpha-Stim M

U.S. Veteran Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Hibron has been dealing with back pain for many years. And sadly, back pain is not an uncommon issue for many Veterans.

Back Pain in Veterans is Common

Back pain is extremely common in Veterans due to the intense physical demands of their training and role. Routine training with and using heavy gear, traumatic injuries, and repetitive stress during their service can often lead to chronic pain, often stemming from issues like muscle strains, disc herniation or degeneration, and even nerve compression.¹ Chronic pain affects daily life and work, and it can often exacerbate or cause other issues such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression*. Moreover, drug-based treatments pose serious risks, such as addiction, and are often high in cost. Fortunately, Alpha-Stim^® is a non-drug option for treating acute pain, chronic pain, and post-traumatic pain. And, we’re proud to say that Alpha-Stim is in over half of the VA and DoD centers nationwide, allowing Veterans and active Service Members to use this FDA-cleared device to support their mental health and relieve pain.

Lieutenant Colonel Relieves Back Pain With Alpha-Stim M

Thankfully, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Hibron was introduced to Alpha-Stim not too long ago during a visit to his doctor’s office. We were delighted to read his feedback and learn that he’s decided to get his own device.

“Great news! Thank you both very much for introducing me to this device and for helping me obtain it through Semper Fi. I have been dealing with back pain for many years. You do great work, and Semper Fi is a great organization for helping me pay for it. The device will be arriving just in time to help alleviate my back pain. It’s flared up again since I last used the Alpha-Stim in my provider’s office in September. That’s how good the results have been now that we’re in the middle of November.

I’ve endured sleepless nights of pain, not able to use my usual pain med, Motrin, because it raises my liver and kidney levels. Alpha-Stim is not only helping with my quality of life, but may truly be a life-saving treatment for me over the long term. It would be great to get this out to more of our troopers who need it.

Thanks again, and let me know if I can do anything for you. Please use this as a testimonial if it will help you get the word out on the efficacy of the Alpha-Stim. Even my own PCM, who spoke to my chain of command to approve it with Semper Fi, says he’s going to get one for his pain symptoms. It’s a win-win all the way around, and I can’t be happier about it.”

Helping Veterans Take Care of Themselves

We’re proud to offer a military discount to Veterans and active-duty. With EPI’s newly awarded FSS contract, access to Alpha-Stim is expanding even further—supporting its presence in more than half of VA and DoD facilities nationwide.

While availability and utilization may vary by location, this contract makes it easier for federal facilities to procure Alpha-Stim in support of those who serve.

If you are a Veteran or Service Member, our Government Services team can answer questions about how to get an Alpha-Stim. Call 1-800-367-7246 and select the option for Government Services.
