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 patients unique brain has been mapped, a trained technician places nodes on the patients head that create a magnetic field around the brain. This magnetic field generates electrical signals that target different parts of the brain.
TMS is administered around 4 days of the week over at least several weeks. Each treatment is unique, just as each patient is unique.
-
TMS can help to treat a wide variety of ailments, including
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Anxious Depression
Migraines
Smoking Cessation
TMS is a current and evolving field, and is being proven to be effective in treating more disorders and conditions all the time.

TMS is not painful!
