PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION

 

I would like to thank you for introducing Alpha-Stim therapy to my rehabilitation practice last year. Since that time, we have been applying it as “attended electrical stimulation”, as a part of our patient’s physical therapy programs. The results have often been very good, and sometimes spectacular. It is especially rewarding to be able to offer this modality to chronic pain patients who have been unresponsive to all other therapies.

It is certainly advantageous to be able to provide in-office treatments with a device which, if effective, can subsequently be prescribed for the patient for home use. We have many patients who have been able to reduce their dependence on pain medications and have realized increased functional capacity as a result of having an Alpha-Stim at home.

In addition, because treatment is applied to the patient, vectoring through the areas of pain using hand-held probes, our therapists have commented that it offers a one-to-one, hands-on modality which fosters a closer bond between therapist and patient.

We currently have three Alpha-Stim 100 units being applied by four therapists in our facility. We appreciate your providing the machines, the supplies and the efficient processing of claims for our patients. The whole program has been of great benefit to us in helping our patients toward recovery.
