What is TMS?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses non-invasive magnetic fields to stimulate the areas in your brain affected by depression. During a session, you’ll wear a helmet equipped with electromagnetic coils to send painless pulses to precise locations of your brain.

What is TMS?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses non-invasive magnetic fields to stimulate the areas in your brain affected by depression.

How does it work?
During a session, you’ll wear a helmet equipped with electromagnetic coils. The electromagnet sends painless pulses to precise locations of your brain that are associated with depression.
Does it hurt?
No. You will hear a tapping or clicking sound and may feel a slight tapping motion on your forehead, but the treatment is painless. We provide earplugs to dampen the noise.
What are the side effects?
Luckily, the side effects are usually quite mild, and decrease as you go along. The most common side effects are headaches, tingling along your scalp, and facial muscle spasms during treatment. These go away shortly after each session.
Is TMS safe?
Yes. TMS is safe and approved by the FDA. It is noninvasive, and unlike other brain stimulation treatments, does not require electrodes, surgery, or anesthesia, and doesn’t cause seizures.
How long does it last?
Each treatment lasts from 20-40 minutes. Most patients are prescribed daily treatments that last from 3-9 weeks. You’ll be awake and alert during your treatment and can even drive yourself home afterward.
Does it work?

No single treatment works for everyone, but TMS has been clinically proven to help treat depression. In one study, 3 in 4 patients benefited from TMS treatment, and 1 in 2 achieved long-lasting remission from depression.

What if my depression comes back?
If your symptoms return, you can repeat your TMS treatment safely.

Want to know more?

We’d love to discuss TMS with you and determine if it’s a good fit for your need.
