DISCLAIMER

Since structural disease processes can also cause the symptoms on this list, it is important to first rule out serious medical conditions with your doctor. Ask your doctor if it’s safe for you to pursue conservative, emotional therapy-based treatment that is recommended for TMS.

THERE IS HOPE

Despite the discomfort and serious nature of these symptoms, TMS does not damage your organ tissue or body structure and you no longer have to settle for just managing your chronic pain or other symptoms. These isorders are BENIGN and CURABLE!
