What is rTMS?
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) opens up exciting possibilities beyond pain relief. This cutting-edge technique utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, targeting the areas associated with various conditions, from chronic pain and concussions to Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, tinnitus, and related mental health issues. Our Toronto clinic is dedicated to providing long-lasting relief and enhancing your well-being.
Discovering the Diverse Benefits of rTMS
- Beyond Pain Management: While at its core, rTMS is a powerful tool for managing pain, its benefits are versatile. Addressing the root causes of chronic pain helps to alleviate symptoms and contributes to an improved quality of life.
- A Holistic Approach: rTMS can be an adjunctive treatment for conditions like concussions, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, and tinnitus.
- Mental Health: rTMS has been found to treat mental health challenges associated with pain and other physical conditions.
rTMS Is Designed for Convenience and Efficiency:
- Personalized Treatment Plans: In your initial session, the doctor will tailor a treatment plan to address your specific needs, determining your brain’s target area(s) and the appropriate treatment intensity.
- Brief Sessions: Each rTMS session usually lasts about 5-15 minutes, causing minimal disruption to your daily schedule.
- Professional Oversight: Our proficient technicians perform the treatment under the watchful eye of a doctor, ensuring its safety and effectiveness.
- Patient Comfort: We strive to keep you comfortable throughout your session, although you might encounter some noise and tapping sensations during the procedure. You can halt it at any point if necessary.
- Independent Departure: You are usually free to drive home after your session. However, some individuals find it challenging and opt for a companion’s company.
Addressing Key Considerations and Potential Risks
It’s important to remember that rTMS might not be suitable for everyone. If you have specific conditions such as epilepsy, ferrous metallic implants in your skull, recent drug use, unstable medical conditions, or pregnancy, consult our team to determine whether rTMS is safe for you.
Potential Side Effects: While these are rare, being well-informed is crucial. Possible side effects may include involuntary blinking, facial muscle contractions during treatment, dizziness, lightheadedness, mild headaches, and seizures in extremely rare cases. Our experienced team is committed to addressing your concerns and ensuring your safety.
