Do you have any questions?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is FDA-approved for treating major depressive disorder and other mental health conditions.

The treatment involves placing a magnetic coil on the patient's scalp, which delivers targeted magnetic pulses to the prefrontal cortex. This stimulation helps enhance brain activity and alleviate symptoms of depression.

TMS Therapy is suitable for adults with major depressive disorder who have not found relief from traditional treatments like medication or psychotherapy. It may also be an option for those who prefer a non-invasive, drug-free treatment.

During a session, you'll sit comfortably while the magnetic coil is placed on your scalp. The session lasts about 20-40 minutes, and you'll be awake and alert throughout. Treatment sessions are typically conducted five times a week for 4-6 weeks.

Most patients experience only mild side effects, such as a slight headache or scalp discomfort. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve shortly after the session. Serious side effects are very rare.

Patients may start to notice improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks of beginning treatment. However, individual results vary, and some patients may require a full course of treatment to experience significant benefits.

Many insurance companies cover TMS Therapy, especially for patients with major depressive disorder who have not responded to other treatments. Our team can help verify your insurance coverage and discuss payment options.

In most cases, patients can continue their current medications during TMS Therapy. However, it's essential to discuss your specific situation with our medical team to ensure the best treatment plan for you.
