Alpha Stem Therapy

About a month ago my VA primary care doctor, asked me if i had ever tried this type of therapy to aid in sleep disorders, anxiety, depression and pain. Of course i said NO
so a week later i was given treatment #1
the pain treatment was off the charts wonderful, I thought it was the placebo effect. But even after three day the pain in my knee was still very low compared to the before pain.


I slept like a baby the first night, no flooded brain of crazy crap preventing me from sleeping and even awakened feeling rested.


I have had three more treatments and go this week for the last one before they send me home with the device to use every day .


has anyone else used this device long term?
the prospect of getting off the pain meds and sleeping pills are a real motivator for me. the technology is not new.

Sounds interesting. Curious how many other people have used this with success.

Do you know if it is effective with neurological pain?

Will have to discuss it with the neurologist in a couple of weeks.

not sure
but i can tell you it would be worth while to inquire


they did the pain thing on my knee and back, relief lasted for days after each weekly treatment.
best thing is the pain treatment involves zero drugs or addictive chemicals. I was told you can do the pain treatment as much as you want each day. the only areas you cannot use the probes are on your neck and heart area.


i am anxious to get it on weds and bring the machine home to where i can use it each day
