Is The Alpha-Stim the same thing as a TENS?
Alpha-Stim technology is nothing like TENS. All white pills are not alike. Nor are all 5 mg white pills alike. Just like the chemical ingredients that make up drugs differentiate one from another, it is our unique proprietary waveform that makes Alpha-Stim technology so effective. TENS has limited effectiveness, and just like eyeglasses, TENS has no residual effect — it only works while in use. But the biggest problem with ordinary TENS is tolerance, just like in drugs where you have to constantly increase the current to a point where it becomes ineffective at safe levels. Alpha-Stim technology treatments can usually be given in only a few minutes a few times a week. The results are long-lasting and cumulative. Alpha-Stim technology is also less expensive than even the cheapest TENS when long term use of TENS electrodes are factored in. Alpha-Stim felt electrodes may be reused on a single patient.
