Tingling Away Discomfort & Pain

Doctors are taught that there are about 75 trillion cells in a human body, each having an electrical potential across its cell membrane similar to a battery. Doctors have developed a number of methods of sending tiny electrical impulses into the body in the treatment of physical and mental conditions.

Narberth chiropractor Arnold Weinberg uses the latest microcurrent electrical therapy (MET), an Alpha-Stim® 100, which looks like two pens connected by a wire.

The device, available by prescription only in the United States, is used in the treatment of conditions ranging from anxiety, insomnia, and depression, as well as acute, chronic or post-operative pain.

Although a slight tingling sensation is sometimes felt under MET electrodes, it is not necessary to feel this in order to achieve results. Many people feel nothing at all with the Alpha-Stim – except positive results.

There are over 100 research studies on cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) in humans and 20 experimental animal studies. The overwhelming majority of the scientific research is extremely positive. No significant lasting side effects have been reported.
