Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is our clinic’s specialty. TMS helps stimulate the brain using magnetic pulses to treat major depression and other mood disorders. We use NeuroStar Advanced Therapy®, an FDA-approved technique, to offer solutions to people who continue to struggle with depression after exhausting other treatment options.

In each TMS therapy session, the patient is comfortably seated in a chair and given a cloth cap and cushioned coils. The coils will produce rapid-fire magnetic pulses, similar to magnetic pulses in MRIs. The patient might hear or feel tapping in their head during treatment. We’ll provide earplugs for your convenience.

The most common side effect is temporary, mild pain or discomfort in the treatment site. Typically these symptoms fade after the first week of treatment. Patients sometimes also report muscle twitching, headaches, and jaw pain

The FDA has cleared TMS for two conditions: depression and OCD. TMS is also being investigated as a treatment for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, bulimia nervosa, migraines, fibromyalgia, panic disorder, Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, alcohol dependence, smoking cessation, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, and autism.
