Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment used to help patients struggling with depression and other mental health conditions. TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Unlike traditional medications, TMS Therapy does not require anesthesia, surgery, or sedation. Patients remain awake and alert during treatment and can return to their normal daily activities immediately after each session.
TMS Therapy is commonly recommended for individuals who have not experienced sufficient improvement with antidepressant medications or who may have experienced unwanted side effects from medications.
How Does TMS Therapy Work?
TMS Therapy works by delivering targeted magnetic stimulation to areas of the brain associated with depression and emotional regulation. These magnetic pulses help activate underactive brain regions and improve communication between nerve cells.
Treatments are performed in a comfortable outpatient setting and typically last between 20–40 minutes per session.

What to Expect During Treatment
During a TMS session, patients sit comfortably in a treatment chair while a specialized device delivers magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain. Most patients are able to relax, read, or listen to music during treatment.
A full course of TMS Therapy typically involves multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on the patient’s individualized treatment plan.
