TMS therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a safe, non-invasive treatment proven to help with depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more. It offers long-lasting relief, with an average remission time of one year, making it an effective option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant conditions.
This advanced neurotherapy technique uses brief, powerful magnetic pulses to stimulate specific neurons in the brain, helping to restore healthy brain function. As an FDA-approved treatment, TMS therapy provides a drug-free alternative for those seeking relief from chronic mental health disorders.
FDA approved, TMS has become a popular treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but practitioners also find it helpful for several other mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, bipolar depression, chronic pain, insomnia, and more. The best part? TMS is covered by most insurance providers.
Treatment That Lasts:
TMS therapy is an outpatient, non-invasive treatment that has shown long-term relief from debilitating symptoms for 50-60% of patients who undergo treatment. When necessary, maintenance TMS or once a week treatments, may prevent relapses after full treatment courses.
Relief Without Side Effects:
Medicines often don't work for a third of individuals suffering from depression. Unlike antidepressants, TMS doesn't cause systemic side effects like brain fog, upset stomach, heartburn, sexual dysfunction, or other issues. No medications or anesthesia are required for TMS therapy.
It's important to know that you are not alone. Get help with depression today!
TMS leverages repetitive, electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cells and modulate activity in the brain. These repetitions target specific neurons to reduce symptoms.
A member of our expert team will measure your head before placing the TMS device and positioning a small coil a few inches away from the front area of your brain.
We tailor the length and duration of each session for your unique needs. Our team will support you every step of the way on your road to mental wellness.
Patients who receive TMS therapy often find relief from their symptoms within a week. The best part? There’s no pain involved! Patients typically enjoy TMS treatment and their ability to relax in a comfortable reclining chair within a calming, relaxing, therapeutic environment. Think of TMS therapy like a miniature MRI: Pain free magnetic stimulation, without the loud clunking sounds. It is not ECT!
Are you unsure whether TMS therapy can help you with your unique needs? Take a look at the following common problems and how TMS treatment may assist with mental wellness.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects approximately 5% of individuals. According to studies, a genetic predisposition might lead one down the road to developing OCD. TMS therapy may be a viable treatment option to help relieve the symptoms associated with OCD.
In 2008, the FDA authorized TMS therapy for the treatment of depression. It is also used to treat teens and young adults with depression instead of long-term use of antidepressants. TMS is a safe, non-invasive therapy that helps people with MDD achieve long-term remission.
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that can cause manic episodes that may ruin your life. If you have bipolar disorder, TMS therapy might be able to decrease the impact of your highs and lows. This technology uses magnetic pulses to help stabilize your emotions and restore balance to your life.
Eating disorders, such as anorexia, have been linked to brain damage or trauma in studies where the prefrontal cortex is the most notable network influenced. It causes symptoms of poor impulse control when it is underactive. TMS therapy can restore balance to the prefrontal cortex and rewire dysfunctional neural networks by stimulating them.
GAD, or generalized anxiety disorder, is characterized by persistent and severe worry or stress that affects one's daily life. GAD can manifest at any age and causes debilitating anxiety. Some medications used to treat GAD must be administered with extreme care. TMS is a highly successful long-term treatment option for GAD.
Individuals who have an excessive need for sleep during the day may be diagnosed with hypersomnia or narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is distinguished by uncontrollable drowsiness, whereas hypersomnia is defined by more difficult to resist sleepiness. TMS therapy has been used to help people with both problems.
TMS therapy relaxes the area of the brain that causes insomnia, which leads to improved sleep quality. It's also a great alternative to flooding your mind with chemicals. We understand how much better you can feel when you have a solid sleep regimen in place. TMS treatment can assist you in falling asleep faster when life throws you off track.
PPD is a serious medical condition that affects women more than it does men. PPD symptoms include feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, which can make performing daily tasks seem too difficult at times, even getting out of bed each morning may be daunting. RTMS treatment sessions or repetitive TMS may help you feel better quickly.
PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a mental illness that can be induced by frightening events. Flashbacks, nightmares, sleeplessness, and anxiety or depression are some of the symptoms. TMS therapy has been shown to strengthen connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala, lowering severity levels associated with PTSD.
Smoking issues have shown a negative impact on overall health and brain function. The many bodily consequences of smoking, such as an increased risk of heart disease or cognitive impairment owing to restricted blood flow in regions important for learning skills like memory formation, have all been demonstrated. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been studied as a treatment to help people quit smoking and it is FDA-approved.
