TMS Therapy is a proven, effective treatment for debilitating depression. TMS Therapy uses short pulses of magnetic fields to stimulate the area of the brain that is thought to function abnormally in patients with depression
We are pleased to be able to offer NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is one of the most technologically advanced depression treatments available. This non-invasive, outpatient therapy is FDA cleared and has helped millions of depression patients who have not received adequate results from antidepressants.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
