A NOTE TO DOCTORS
Thank you for recommending the Alpha-Stim® PPM . This manual is written for the person who will be using the Alpha-Stim® PPM , but your
input will be invaluable to your patient. One way to help is to explain to your patient exactly where his or her problem is located, along with any
corresponding areas (such as the low back in the case of leg pain). You might suggest specific electrode locations for your patient’s particular
problem. Alpha-Med is available to serve the needs of your patients, and to support you in doing so. New research is constantly available that may
have a direct bearing on one of your patient's specific disorders. Feel free to write, call, fax, or email Alpha-Med for any reason at all.
