Your mind and body communicate in two ways: chemically and electrically.

Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are carefully researched and tested for efficacy on a chemical level, but often come with grim warnings about side effects, contraindications, and/or addiction. Alpha-Stim® takes the alternate route, operating through painless electrical stimulation.

A tiny microcurrent is generated through the device, which is approximately the size of a mobile phone, and delivered through small clips attached to the earlobes (AID model) or placed on the body at the pain site (M model).  Each treatment lasts 20 minutes.


Alpha-Stim® Benefits

  • Can be used to help treat anxiety, insomnia, depression, and chronic pain.
  • Portable device offers convenient treatments at home, work, or anywhere in between
  • Zero risk of chemical dependency or serious effects
  • FDA cleared and backed by over 140 independent clinical research studies
