Treating pain with MET
The Alpha-Stim® PPM uses microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) for those suffering from acute, chronic or postoperative pain. The Alpha-Stim® PPM works with the body on a large variety of ailments, including difficult-to-treat problems.

Alpha-Stim® PPM microcurrent technology produces residual and cumulative results, far superior to previous traditional milliampere transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices. When you turn off a traditional TENS the pain returns. The Alpha-Stim® PPM is significantly superior because MET works with tiny currents, closer to the type and amount of electricity that naturally occurs in the body. By comparison, the electric current used by typical TENS devices is thousands of times greater than natural body current.

A slight tingling sensation is sometimes felt under the electrodes, but it is not necessary to feel this in order to achieve results. Many people feel nothing at all with the Alpha-Stim® PPM except positive results. MET is applied through easy to use probes or self-adhesive electrodes. Specific treatment protocols are included with each Alpha-Stim® PPM. Alpha-Stim® technology is backed by more independent research than any other device in its class.

For those whose budget allows for it, we recommend the Alpha-Stim® 100 instead of the PPM for a couple of reasons. First, the Alpha-Stim® 100 includes probes as well as AS-Trodes for treatment of pain, which allows for additional and more cost effective ways of treating pain over time. In addition, the Alpha-Stim® 100 will also treat anxiety, depression, and insomnia, which so often accompany pain conditions and which are so prevalent in our society.
