What is TMS Therapy?

A Breakthrough Approach to Treating Depression

How TMS Therapy Works

If medication and psychotherapy haven’t brought the relief you need, TMS Therapy offers a non-invasive, FDA-approved option to help lift the fog of depression.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a breakthrough treatment for depression that doesn’t rely on medication. Using a magnetic pulse, TMS targets areas of the brain that regulate mood, helping to restore activity in the regions affected by depression. For those who have tried traditional antidepressants without success, TMS can offer a new path forward.

Why Choose TMS Therapy?

FDA Cleared
The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) first approved TMS therapy as a treatment for depression in 2008.
Non-Drug Option
Repetitive TMS therapy is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation specifically designed to treat depression. It can be safely used alongside an existing medication regimen without the need for additional medications.
Non-Invasive
TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.

Not ECT
Unlike ECT, TMS does not require anesthesia, and the patient remains awake during the treatment.
Covered By Most Insurance
Most insurance companies cover TMS therapy.
Proven To Work
Research indicates between 70-80 percent of patients who complete TMS report some improvement and almost half of all patients who complete TMS report complete remission of depressive symptoms.

What Does the Process Look Like?

TMS therapy involves sitting comfortably in a chair while a small magnetic device is placed on your head. Over several weeks, you’ll come in for short sessions, typically five days a week, each lasting about 20 minutes. These magnetic pulses help reawaken areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. The treatment is non-invasive and may fit easily into your daily routine.
