Spotlight on: Cranial Electrotherapy Workshop
A new feature to our Convention is that we'll be highlighting a different workshop each week on this blog. Keep reading for more info on workshops. This week's highlighted workshop is Safe and Innovative Interventions in the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Insomnia: Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation as an Alternative to Big Pharma, presented by Dr. Kathy Platoni and Karl Moeller on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 from 10:15 a.m. -12:15 p.m.
Why should you attend?
While medications are helpful in treating insomnia, anxiety, and depression, many patients are sensitive or intolerant of their side-effects or interactive effects. Many prefer to stay away from medications altogether. Cranial-electrotherapy (CES) is a viable alternative for clincians to suggest and use safely and efficiently. The Alpha-Stim system is a valuable tool in the clinician's toolbox. --Dr. Jerome Gabis, OPA Education Committee Member
