The 30 Minute TUMT procedure is completed in 30 Minutes. The standard and high-energy treatments take about one hour. Patients need to arrive at least one hour and 30 minutes prior to treatment for paperwork and pre-treatment medication. Because medication is administered, patients need to make arrangements for someone to drive them home following treatment. Because general anesthesia is not required, patients may leave shortly after the treatment.
Patients mst obtain post-treatment instructions from their physician or nurse before leaving.
It normally takes up to three months before patients experience the full benefit of treatment. Many patients, however, will begin to notice improvement after several weeks. Most patients will feel heat during the treatment. This sensation is normal. The degree of heat felt during treatment will depend on whether you receive a standard, high-energy or 30 Minute TUMT treatment.
