What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge therapeutic technology used primarily for the treatment of depression. During a TMS session, our trained technicians use a device that generates a magnetic field to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. This stimulation helps to restore healthy brain activity patterns, potentially alleviating symptoms of depression when medication or traditional therapy has not been fully effective.
