For new patients preparing for scrambler therapy pain management in our New Jersey clinic, we’ve created specific guidelines to help prepare for treatment in order to feel comfortable and fully prepared for your treatment journey.
Patients typically undergo 10 scrambler therapy sessions, one per business day, lasting about 35 minutes. After treatment five, you will rest during the weekend and prepare for treatments 6-10 begining on the following Monday.
Pre-Scrambler Therapy Treatment
- Fill out your New Patient Forms in advance. Forward them to us by fax (973-772-2701) or scan and email to info@calmaretherapynj.com
- Email or bring print copies of lab and x-rays (EEG, MRI, CT scans, EMG) for our pre-treatment study).
- Medication usage. At least one month prior to beginning treatment, contact us with your current medication list, so the doctors can advise if any medication tapering is necessary. (In most cases, you can continue using your prescribed dosages as prescribed by your pain management specialist.)
- Treatment Recap Reports. Email us (info@calmaretherapynj.com) the name, email address and phone number of any physicians you would like us to contact with a report about your treatment.
- Refrain from using skin lotions or oils 24 hours before each treatment.
- Dress in loose, comfortable clothing and bring some entertainment to occupy you during each treatment.
- Consider journaling how you feel mentally and physcially before, during and after your Calmare Therapy.
- Make hotel reservations well in advance. We provide a list of local lodging options that received high patient ratings.
- Focus on optimal nutrition and hydration. By fueling your body with hydration, you are setting a course for an optimal treatment outcome. Focus on eating natural, whole foods that are plant-based and minimizing consuming highly processed foods.
- Find ways to help relax your mind and body. Traveling is challenging even when you feel great–it can be exhausting and painful when you are battling pain. Gather items of comfort–slippers, pillows, scented items and keep them in a handy bag with you.
- Plan for extra rest after each session and after your 10-treatment series. Your body is absorbing a wealth of new information and will need extra energy to transition. Expect to feel more sleepy after each session–this is completely normal!
- Don’t be nervous! The treatments are non-invasive and have no side effects. Our certified doctors will be with you during every treatment, every day.
