Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an entirely non-invasive procedure widely used in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. TMS creates a magnetic field that induces a tiny electric current in a specific part of the brain associated with mood regulation. This current is generated by an electromagnetic coil that delivers gentle pulses through the scalp.
One of the greatest advantages of TMS is that it does not require sedation and is virtually pain-free. Patients remain awake and alert throughout each session and can return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Typically, TMS treatment is performed four to five times per week over the course of several weeks, with each session lasting about 40 minutes.
If you feel that the medication you take to manage your depression is not helping, or if you would prefer a non-medication approach, TMS may be right for you. While TMS is an FDA-approved treatment, not all insurance plans cover it yet, so our team is happy to help you understand your options. For those who do use medication as part of their care, we also provide thorough medication management. To learn whether TMS could be a good fit, call us at (754) 294-4357 or request an appointment online today.
