Laguna Hills, Ca. 92653 June 8, 1990 I am a retired 69 year old dentist trained in Oral surgery. I purchased the Alpha-Stim CS to treat a recurring pain and spasticity in both sternocleidomastoid muscles which did not respond very well to the traditional treatment. By placing one electrode pad on the muscle origin and its mate toward the muscle insertion and the other set of pads in the contra-position, I gave the most painful left muscle two 20 minute 0.5 Hz treatments. There was a very noticeable relief of pain. I treated the less painful right muscle in the same manner and the pain was almost fully relieved. It took four days of treatment to relieve all of the pain and stiffness. In addition to the above results and a bonus which I cannot explain, a left sub-deltoid bursitis which had been bothering me for about four months completely disappeared the morning after the first muscle treatment. I have been bothered with an intermittent tinnitus since about 1950. It became continuous in about 1965. I was unaware that there was any successful treatment of this annoying complaint until reading about it in the Alpha-Stim manual. The noise in my left ear was a constant loud whistling and the right ear a less noisy ringing. By placing the ear-clip electrodes on my earlobes and the pads at the level of my upper posterior teeth and using 0.5 Hz for two 20 minute treatments for about a week, the ringing noise disappeared completely and the whistling noise was reduced about 85%. Thank you for developing this new instrument. It certainly has made my life much more enjoyable. Sincerely yours, |
