TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
WHAT IS TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION?
Don’t let the name fool you. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) might sound scary, but in reality it is an FDA-approved, non-invasive and highly-effective treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions. TMS alleviates the symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in about 70-80% of patients. And what’s better? It’s covered by most health insurance plans.
HOW DOES TMS WORK?
TMS delivers electromagnetic impulses to stimulate cells in the part of the brain responsible for processing emotions.
Those who suffer from depression and anxiety exhibit reduced brain activity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). TMS stimulates brain waves in this area of the brain.
Through TMS, the activity level in the patient’s vmPFC returns to normal, thereby reducing the symptoms of depression and PTSD.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
TMS requires no medication, no anesthesia and no needles. It’s an FDA-approved treatment with a 70-80% success rate.
Rapid Relief
A full course of TMS treatment is 6-8 weeks, though most patients experience results within 14-days…or sooner!
Non-Invasive
TMS is gentle, non-invasive and designed to generate positive outcomes…without pain or discomfort.
