TMS therapy is a non-invasive, outpatient treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells to help improve depression symptoms and other mental health conditions. TMS could provide the relief you deserve.
TMS Therapy, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy, is a non-invasive form of therapy developed by psychiatrists for the treatment of mental health conditions, namely treatment-resistant depression. It uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that have been identified as being involved in depression but also several other psychiatric disorders.
During TMS, a medical professional will place a device near the patient’s head which sends an electromagnetic pulse into the brain to increase its activity. Unlike traditional forms of psychotherapy and medication, TMS does not require any sedation or anesthesia and can be done in an outpatient setting.
TMS therapy is an FDA-approved, revolutionary new treatment option for mental health. TMS can treat a variety of psychiatric disorders. It can also be used to treat some physical conditions, such as chronic pain and migraines.
It's important to consult a psychiatrist to see if TMS therapy is the right treatment for you. We provide consultation appointments to assess just that. The psychiatrist will take into account factors such as your age, medical history, and current mental health status to determine whether TMS therapy is a good fit for your needs.
When you suffer from depression or a neurological disorder, you are not alone. Get help with depression today!

Generally, individual sessions can take anywhere from 30 – 40 minutes. We usually recommend for patients to receive five treatments a week for about 4 – 6 weeks. However, it's important to note that every patient is different, and some may need different lengths of sessions and/or courses. Your treatment can also differ based on the TMS device that is being used.
Side effects are possible but are generally minor and lessen with each treatment. This can include a headache, discomfort around the treatment area, tingling, spasms, or twitching of facial muscles, as well as lightheadedness. Only a small percentage of patients experience any side effects at all.

Deep TMS, offered by BrainsWay, is a clinically proven, non-invasive outpatient procedure for treating various psychiatric conditions such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and smoking addiction. It is FDA-cleared with minimal side effects, short treatment time (20 minutes) and no lengthy recovery period, making it easy to fit into a patient's daily routine. Discover if Deep TMS is a suitable option for your mental health.
The electromagnetic pulses used in TMS Therapy are non-invasive and painless as they pass through the scalp to stimulate nerves beneath. The strength of the pulses can be adjusted to achieve the desired result. The electromagnetic pulses used in TMS therapy cause neurons in the brain to fire faster and more frequently.
This electromagnetic stimulation increases brain activity, resulting in improved cognitive functioning, increased energy levels, and improved mood. TMS therapy has very few side effects and is covered by most insurance providers, making it an affordable option for many.
