TMS Therapy

About TMS

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive and groundbreaking approach designed to address certain mental health disorders when other treatments have yielded limited results. This state-of-the-art treatment harnesses the power of magnetic fields to stimulate specific nerve cells in the brain.

TMS therapy consists of a series of treatment sessions. Patients generally receive five sessions per week for four to six weeks. If conventional treatment methods have not yielded the desired improvements in your depression, TMS therapy offers a viable alternative. This method can be transformatively effective and enhance your quality of life.

The Science of the Treatment

During a TMS therapy session, an electromagnetic coil, comfortably encased in a helmet, is positioned near the patient’s forehead. This coil emits painless magnetic pulses, stimulating specific nerve cells in the brain responsible for mood regulation and, consequently, depression. It can also activate areas of the brain with reduced activity linked to this particular mental health disorder. Your personalized TMS treatment plan, including coil placement and magnetic energy dosage, will be determined after a thorough evaluation by our medical experts.
