As of 2020, 21 million US adults suffered from depression according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Anxiety is a concern for 3.1% of Americans1. Fifty million US adults deal with chronic pain2 and 30-40% of Americans will suffer from insomnia at some point.3 Most people experience some type of anxiety during a specific event, but it is usually temporary. For some people it can last for days, weeks or months and they can live in a constant state of anxiety.

Most physicians will suggest prescription medications. Prescription medications attempt to target an issue or imbalance in the body with the use of chemicals. But the body is both chemical and electrical. A large part of the nervous system is controlled by internal electrical impulses.


Treatment for anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain that’s proven to work

The Alpha-Stim® electrotherapy device is proven safe and effective for pain management, treatment of anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It has no lasting side effects, no risk of addiction, and no danger of interaction with medications. In addition, it’s an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment. Alpha-Stim can help fight both the sleepless nights and the overwhelming sadness making it difficult to get out of bed. It can relieve both nagging back pain and the constant burden of stress. Results are long-lasting and often immediate, depending on the severity of the symptom. Most people feel immediate results, while others require a lengthier treatment protocol and can feel the improvement over a few weeks.

Alpha-Stim and how it works

The brain naturally has electrical currents. The Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device delivers a natural level of micro current via small clips worn on the earlobes, through the brain to stimulate and modulate specific groups of nerve cells. The micro current is tiny, just millionths of an ampere, and so gentle that most people don’t even feel it. The patented Alpha-Stim waveform results show significant improvement in anxiety relief, mood normalization, and better sleep (both in quality and duration).

Treatments take only 20 minutes and can be used in the privacy of one’s home or while at work. The device is mobile, and the ear clips are unobtrusive; it will look like someone is listening to music.

The Alpha-Stim electrotherapy device relieves post-traumatic, acute, and chronic pain through painless electrical stimulation delivered via two handheld Smart Probes. It can be used on its own or as a complementary treatment. The device is small and about the size of a cell phone or an old Blackberry.
