How TMS Therapy Actually Works  Moods and emotions are controlled by a part of the brain that is stimulated during TMS therapy for depression. This therapy does not result in harmful side effects or memory loss, which is different from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Magnetic pulses are administered through the brain, affecting mood with no adverse …

TMS Therapy employs magnetic fields to treat mood and behavior issues. In order to deliver the right amount of stimulation, MRI-strength magnetic fields are created with the TMS Therapy system. The treatment coil is positioned on the patient’s head over the left prefrontal cortex, which is associated with mood regulation.  The magnetic treatment coil only …

How Does TMS Therapy Work? TMS therapy for depression works by stimulating a part of the brain that is involved in moods and emotions. This is not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and does not cause memory loss or harmful side effects. Magnetic pulses traveling through the brain only reach a small portion directly beneath the treatment …

How Does TMS Therapy Work? Magnetic pulses generate strong, brief magnetic fields that are identical to those generated by MRI machines. A treatment coil is placed on the patient’s head to deliver fields to the left prefrontal cortex, which is involved in mood regulation.  Magnetic pulses traveling through the brain only reach a small portion …

Depression can be treated with medication, but some may not be able to take it due to other health conditions. Others might have tried antidepressants and found that it was ineffective for them. There are also others who simply prefer not taking antidepressant medications despite their effectiveness because of the side effects or another reason …

Medications and talk therapy may have limited effects in the treatment of depression, but there is hope. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been shown to be an effective form of treatment for depression. TMS may help by stimulating a part of the brain that is involved in moods and emotions, without any memory loss or …

The  TMS Therapy system generates highly concentrated, magnetic fields which turn on and off very rapidly. These magnetic fields are the same type and strength as those produced by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The treatment coil is applied to the head above the left prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is involved …

Clinical trials have shown that TMS Therapy is both safe and effective for treating patients who had not been able to work with previous medication treatments. It was studied in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder, all of whom had not received satisfactory improvement with their prior medications. TMS Therapy & Treating Your Depression  …

Studies have shown that TMS is an effective way to treat various types of depression.  It was first studied on adult patients who had failed with previous treatments for major depressive disorder. What is TMS Therapy for Depression? TMS stands for “transcranial magnetic stimulation.” This process is used to treat depression by non-invasively stimulating the …

People who suffer from depression may sometimes feel they have hit a dead end when medications and talk therapy don’t help. The good news is our TMS facility offers the solution! Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation focuses on stimulating a part of your brain that’s involved in moods, emotions and memories. It does not require hospitalization or …
