Testimonial From Francine Sutton
Regarding: Pain
View More TestimonialsI’m writing to let you know how much my Alpha-Stim® unit has helped me with pain management.
I began using Alpha-Stim® in 1997, to help with serious pain from Multiple Sclerosis, fibromyalgia and spinal damage (cervical, lumbar and thoracic). My chiropractor, Michelle Robin (Robin Chiropractic, 7410 Switzer, Shawnee Mission, KS 66203) introduced me to the technology, and I had good results.
In turn, I purchased a unit for myself. The unit has been replaced once (2002) because of an upgrade, and my insurance has been very cooperative in reimbursement for both the Alpha-Stim® and the silver electrodes.
I use the electrodes bilaterally for the cervical spinal pain, and use the probes for all of the “tender points” associated with fibromyalgia. I also use the probes for pain in the head, neck, face and pain in the extremities. I use the clip electrodes at night, combined with some mild
yoga and meditation, because I have trouble going to sleep and staying asleep.I’ve worn the electrodes during the day, if I’m in unusual pain, and I know I have errands to run. I am in pain most of the time, so using the electrodes helps me manage my responses.
I have tried most of the recommended medications for pain, and none of them have worked. My neurologist has been very supportive of my search for alternative methods of pain management, and has remarked that I seem to feel much better when I’m using the electrodes steadily, in combination with water exercise and stretching.
Thanks!
