BEFORE
Our team will evaluate you to determine if you’re a good candidate for this type of therapy. Unfortunately, TMS isn’t right for everyone. During the TMS evaluation, you will be asked questions about your symptoms, your medical history, and treatments you may have already tried.
DURING SESSIONS
We utilize the latest advancements in TMS which has allowed us to shorten the duration of sessions to 15 minute treatment time-frames.
During TMS sessions, there are a few things you can expect to occur including:
- removing any jewelry you have on your person
- having the TMS device fit securely to your head
- putting in earplugs to help with the sound of the machine
- relaxing while the machine is on
- hearing pulsing from the machine (like an MRI) and feeling a tapping sensation
AFTER SESSIONS
Since TMS is a completely non-invasive therapy, there is no recovery period after TMS sessions. Patients can go back to their daily routine as soon as sessions are over, which means they can drive themselves home or back to work. Side effects are uncommon and generally improve over the course of treatment, but some that are possible may include:
- minor head irritation
- headaches
- scalp discomfort
- fatigue
