FAQ:
Does TMS hurt? Many people wonder about TMS therapy’s potential pain and side effects.
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that does not require surgery or penetrating the skin. Instead, it relies on magnetic fields to stimulate nerves in specific parts of the brain. This type of treatment is designed for things like major depressive disorder, PTSD, and OCD when other treatments are not effective.
This form of treatment is designed to serve as one part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It is still essential that individual clients utilize lifestyle changes such as improved exercise and nutrition in addition to therapy to achieve maximum results with TMS treatment.
Despite any discomfort that might be experienced during or after sessions, several positive outcomes are associated with TMS therapy. Professionals with whom you work should help manage your discomfort during your sessions and facilitate open communication with you before your sessions to manage your expectations and help you reduce any anxiety.
