Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Drug-Free.

Non-Invasive.

Hope Restored.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, works to alleviate behavioral disorders, such as depression and OCD, for folks who have tried other forms of treatment without any success. TMS works by delivering gentle magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain.

  • After the patient’s unique brain has been mapped, a trained technician places nodes on the patient’s head that create a magnetic field around the brain. This magnetic field generates electrical signals that target different parts of the brain.

    TMS may be administered multiple times a week for several weeks, depending on the patient.

  • TMS can help to treat a wide variety of ailments, including

    • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

    • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

    • Migraines

    • Smoking Cessation

    More research on TMS is being conducted all the time, with the list of FDA approved treatment applications steadily growing.

  • No. TMS is not painful.

    During the course of treatments, you may experience some tingling or slight discomfort. Treatments usually last between 10 and 20 minutes per session and can be stopped at any time.

  • Insurances will pay for TMS because it is effective.

    Your insurance will cover your TMS treatments if:

    • You have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

    • Our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner culsults with you and determines that you meet the criteria.

    • You have Partnership Health Plan (Medi-Cal) OR you are granted a pre-authorization through your insurance (our staff will assist with this process)
