“It is especially rewarding to be able to offer this
modality to chronic pain patients who have been unresponsive to all
other therapies.”

I would like to thank
you for introducing Alpha-Stim therapy to my rehabilitation practice last
year. Since that time, we have been applying it as “attended electrical
stimulation”, as a part of our patient’s physical therapy programs. The
results have often been very good, and sometimes spectacular. It is
especially rewarding to be able to offer this modality to chronic pain
patients who have been unresponsive to all other therapies.
It is certainly advantageous to be able to provide in-office treatments with
a device which, if effective, can subsequently be prescribed for the patient
for home use. We have many patients who have been able to reduce their
dependence on pain medications and have realized increased functional
capacity as a result of having an Alpha-Stim at home.
In addition, because treatment is applied to the patient, vectoring through
the areas of pain using hand-held probes, our therapists have commented that
it offers a one-to-one, hands-on modality which fosters a closer bond
between therapist and patient.
We currently have three Alpha-Stim 100 units being applied by four
therapists in our facility. We appreciate your providing the machines, the
supplies and the efficient processing of claims for our patients. The whole
program has been of great benefit to us in helping our patients toward
recovery.
