Get Started
Neurostar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. It uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain, providing relief from symptoms without the need for medication. Neurostar TMS Therapy is FDA-approved and has been proven effective in clinical studies.

How Does Neurostar TMS Work?

Neurostar TMS Therapy delivers magnetic pulses to the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain known to regulate mood. These pulses stimulate nerve cells, enhancing brain activity and helping to improve symptoms of depression. The treatment is painless, does not require anesthesia, and is conducted in a comfortable outpatient setting.

Benefits of Neurostar TMS Therapy

  • Non-Invasive: No surgery or sedation required.
  • Medication-Free: An alternative for patients who cannot tolerate antidepressants.
  • Proven Effective: FDA-approved with positive results in clinical trials.
  • Minimal Side Effects: Most patients experience no side effects or only mild ones, such as a slight headache or scalp discomfort.
  • Short Treatment Sessions: Each session lasts about 20-40 minutes, with patients typically undergoing treatment five days a week for 4-6 weeks.
