I have had neck and back problems for years as a result of lifting injuries in my job as a nurse. My chiropractor's  diagnosis is chronic cervical sprain with associated myofascitis.

I go to my chiropractor regularly for adjustments, but often the muscle spasms quickly pull me out of alignment. I have tried a number of things over the years to keep the spasms down--yoga, stretching and exercise, and antispasmodic drugs, which leave me groggy and cause rebound tightness. My chiropractor started using the Alpha-Stim CS on me for 20 minute treatments in his office and I always felt much better after this, and wished that I could wear the unit for more than the brief office visit. I finally got my own Alpha-Stim CS, and it makes a big difference. After a night of lifting at work, I am often left with spasms in my neck and back. Now I come home and use my Alpha-Stim CS--it decreases my spasms and relaxes me all over. I get restful sleep without any medicine, and wake up without any grogginess. I use the unit while  doing stretching exercises and end up with looser muscles and less pain. I also find that my chiropractic adjustments hold for longer periods with regular use of the Alpha-Stim CS. It is also very effective for my headaches from eye strain and computer use. I especially like the ear clips--they induce a meditative state.

It is a wonderfully versatile healing tool, and I use it with great respect and appreciation.

Sincerely,
Karen Stanaker
