At our practice, we offer the most reliable TMS procedure. Our TMS therapy can provide a safe and effective way to treat your depression issues.

How Does TMS Therapy Work

During TMS therapy, magnetic pulses are delivered to parts of the brain responsible for mood. These magnetic pulses trigger neural activity in the inactive areas. Here are some benefits of TMS therapy

• The procedure involves minimal side effects
• The procedure does not require anesthesia
• The procedure does not alter your daily routine
• The procedure does not cause memory issues.

Procedure for TMS Therapy

All patients are evaluated by our experienced team to ensure that they are suitable candidates for TMS. If our specialist decides that TMS is a good fit for you, you do not need to go through anything to prepare. Our TMS therapy is carried out in an outpatient manner. You are required to sit still in a comfy chair while the procedure is going on. 

During your first visit, a machine is adjusted to fit your specific needs. The location of placing the magnet and the exact amount of magnetic pulse are determined. These settings are used all through the course of treatment. Generally, the treatment is carried out five days a week for a period of four to six weeks. You are tapered off TMS after you complete a course of treatment. Some people notice improvement quickly while others will see a positive change in their symptoms after several weeks. 

TMS is an effective procedure with few side effects. The most common side effect patients feel is headaches, and this can be treated with medication. Some patients might experience a minor burning sensation in the skull beneath the magnet during the procedure. A few patients might have facial tremors during their TMS session, but the machine can be adjusted to relieve these tremors.
