FAQ: What does the Alpha-Stim® 100 do? What are the differences in models?

Answer: The Alpha-Stim® 100 treats physical pain of all types with application of microcurrent electrical therapy through the affected area. It also treats anxiety, insomnia and depression utilizing cranial electrotherapy stimulation applied through ear clips. The Alpha-Stim® SCS treats anxiety, insomnia and depression. The SCS is simpler to use; the 100 model is more versatile given it can treat aches and pains throughout the body using self-adhesive electrodes or probes. The 100 model also comes with three frequency options rather than just the 0.5, and it has two channel outputs rather than one, which allows one to treat pain with 2 sets of self-adhesive electrodes, or allows two people to treat with ear clips at once. Put another way, the Alpha-Stim® 100 treats the body and brain, and the Alpha-Stim® SCS treats the brain.
