TMS is a noninvasive treatment process that directly stimulates brain structures associated with mental health conditions. This is done utilizing electromagnetic fields generated by our patented H-coil to safely reach deeper brain structures and influence their neural activity.

Typically, patients hear a tapping sound and feel a tapping sensation in the head area during TMS therapy session. To diminish the sound, the patient is provided with earplugs.

TMS treatment is normally spread out over four-to-six weeks. During this time, patients come in for sessions five times per week and each of these sessions last about 20 minutes. Depending on the mental health condition being treated, there may be additional maintenance sessions after the initial course of treatment.

TMS is a noninvasive treatment course proven to offer symptom relief for various mental health conditions. Eligibility for TMS treatment is determined by a person’s insurance provider. As TMS is safe to combine with other forms of therapy, many insurance providers consider those currently undergoing medical treatment or psychotherapy, as well as treatment-resistant clients, to be eligible for  TMS treatment.

While ECT entails electrically induced seizures, TMS therapy stimulates brain regions using brief magnetic pulses at an amplitude similar to that used in MRI systems. ECT requires anesthesia and may entail severe side effects, including memory loss, while  TMS therapy does not involve anesthesia, has no effects on memory, and is generally well-tolerated.

TMS coverage depends on the treatment type, geographical location, and insurance plan.  TMS therapy is covered by nearly all major private insurers to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). Contact us for more information on insurance coverage.
