Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Has anyone used an alpha stims micro current unit for Pain and received good results for Chiari? Most medicines do not work for me and I am trying this. It helps me so far. I am considering buying one and wanted to know if anyone else has had good results.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I got an Alpha Stim about a year ago. My experience is that using the probes for pain relief is moderately effective, but the results are pretty short term. Of course, if I'd use it regularly per the instructions, that might help! :-) Using it with the ear clips seems to really help with depression, general outlook on life, and makes me sleep better. I started out with 20 minutes a day and then backed off to every 2 to 3 days. Now I use it off and on " as needed. " My vet is using them in his practice and is seeing good results there. I've tried using mine on an aging Mastiff with arthritic hips. No dramatic change, but it seems to help some. Bottom line for me is; it's worth the cost, and consistent use seems to make it much more effective. My $.02, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
