Razzino and Associates, LLC is pleased to provide Alpha-Stimulation, also known as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), for the relief of symptoms related to anxiety, depression, insomnia, and PTSD. Alpha-Stim is a clinically proven, highly effective, FDA-approved form of treatment that acts as a complementary addition to psychotherapy.
Why Alpha-Stim?
Your moods and emotions are controlled through electrochemical signals in your brain. When these signals aren’t functioning properly, the hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate your emotions can become unbalanced. Alpha-Stim works to modulate the brain’s electrochemical signals, which can safely and effectively improve anxiety, depression, and difficulty sleeping.
How Does Alpha-Stim Work?
When painlessly attaching clips onto your earlobes, the Alpha-Stim device generates a waveform that is the same frequency as an alpha brainwave, which has been compared to the relaxed state that individuals desire to achieve during meditation. The waveform returns cells within your body's central nervous system back to their baseline, significantly reducing bothersome symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Sessions are typically 20, 40, or 60 minute long.
What Does Alpha-Stim Feel Like?
Alpha-Stim users have described the sensation as being awake, but relaxed, or, "the peace you feel on awakening or just before falling asleep." Most users notice an immediate reduction in symptoms during the very first treatment. Alpha-Stim’s effect is cumulative, meaning each treatment session is potentially more and more effective. The benefits of Alpha-Stim are often felt for several days after a session has concluded.
Who Can and Cannot Have Alpha-Stim?
All ages and types of clients can use it, except for pregnant women and those with implanted devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, etc). Clients who might benefit from Alpha-Stim include ones who don't take medications, are apprehensive about medications or side effects, or their medications aren't effective enough.
I'm Interested, How Can I Try Alpha-Stim?
You can call to set up your first appointment to discuss treatment and try your first Alpha-Stim session at no extra cost! Please call 703-533-7779 to set up an appointment.
After my first session, what are the fees associated with continuing Alpha-Stim?
The hand-held device is loaned on a monthly-basis at a cost of $150.00 per month. This allows unlimited use for the individual during that period. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check,and credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover).
