Testimonial From Sherry Hansen
Regarding: Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Pain
View More TestimonialsSeptember 9 2000, 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 and 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 Dr William Heller sent me to The Central Coast Pain Clinic in Monterey California. There I underwent many different procedures, Epidurals, trigger point injections, Prolotheraphy and was introduced to both styles of Alpha-Stim®s; the SCS and 100. For many months I would go to see Dr. Victor Li and sit in one of his office with both Alpha-Stim® machines on my ears and on my neck. Gradually my pain and depression lessened, so much so Dr. Li wrote a prescription for an Alpha-Stim®, and it was submitted to Workman’s Comp. After over a year of requesting an Alpha-Stim®, and due to a persistent medical technician at Dr. Li’s office, I finally received my personal Alpha-Stim® SCS.
I use my Alpha-Stim® SCS 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® SCS.
I would suggest that if you haven’t tried an Alpha-Stim® device, that you ask your doctor why not? Relief is possible!
