What Is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an advanced treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions associated with mood regulation.
TMS is FDA-cleared for the treatment of certain depressive disorders and is performed in an outpatient setting without surgery or anesthesia.
Unlike medication, TMS does not circulate throughout the body. Treatment is delivered through a specialized device while patients remain awake and comfortable in a treatment chair.

How TMS Works
Depression is an electrochemical dysfunction that causes reduced brain activity. TMS boosts brain activity.
TMS utilizes MRI-strength magnetic fields to deliver gentle magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve circuits in the brain involved in mood regulation and the treatment of depression. It activates regions of the brain that exhibit reduced activity during depressive episodes.
