How Alpha-Stim at Bright Horizons Psychiatry Works
What is Alpha-Stim therapy?
Users typically describe the sensation as mild tingling or no sensation at all. Sessions last around 20-60 minutes and can be done daily or as prescribed.
Alpha-Stim therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) to manage anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain. It works by delivering microcurrents of electricity to the brain via electrodes placed on the earlobes or scalp. These electrical impulses are designed to mimic the body's natural electrical activity, promoting a state of relaxation and balance in brain activity.
Anxiety: Reduces symptoms by calming overactive neural activity.
Insomnia: Improves sleep by promoting relaxation and regulating brainwave patterns.
Depression: Enhances mood through neuromodulation.
Pain Management: Helps alleviate chronic pain by affecting pain perception pathways.
