How Does It Work?
TMS Therapy offers a unique approach to treating depression. It stimulates specific areas of the brain that control mood and are less active in people with depression. Using a magnetic field similar to an MRI, TMS encourages brain cells to release neurotransmitters, the same chemicals that antidepressants aim to boost.
Additionally, TMS enhances the brain's connectivity, helping areas of the brain work better together. This stimulation helps these brain regions return to a more normal, functional state. TMS Therapy often provides significant symptom relief, even for those who haven't found success with other treatments.
What is TMS Therapy?
TMS or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an advanced technique that uses MRI-strength magnetic energy to target the brain regions that regulate a person's mood.
This approach to treating depression allows our staff of experts to improve the function of these areas, which in turn relieves depression.
