Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES)

Service Description

WHAT IS IT?? Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES) therapy uses low-intensity electrical currents delivered via electrodes to the head (often earlobes) to treat anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain, aiming to balance brain activity, reduce stress, and improve mood by modulating nervous system pathways. HOW DOES IT WORK? Tiny electrical currents (microcurrents) are applied to the head through electrodes placed on the earlobes. The current is thought to influence neurotransmitters and brain regions like the limbic system, potentially increasing calming parasympathetic activity. WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS? - Anxiety & Stress: Helps calm the nervous system, reducing feelings of anxiety and stress. - Insomnia: Promotes relaxation and better sleep quality. - Pain: Effective for chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, by reducing pain perception. - Depression: Can alleviate depressive symptoms, though the FDA seeks more robust data for this indication.
