TMS

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Offering a new hope for patient's with depression.

Benefits of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

TMS uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate the Left Dorsolater Prefrontal Cortex, the part of the brain the controls emotional response.

TMS is very safe and non-invasive. Patient’s are awake, aware, and anesthesia is not required.

Unlike medications, TMS does not cause any systemic side effects and its most common side effect is a headache.

TMS was approved as a safe and effective treatment for Major Depressive Disorder by the FDA in 2008.

TMS is covered by most insurances and is available for those who prefer to pay out of pocket.

Up to 60% of patients respond to the treatment, and around 25% will be depression free.
