Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation 

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)is a series of brief, repetitive magnetic pulses that are used to stimulate our brain cells. Magstim TMS is used to treat depression for patients who have had no success with medication. According to studies, approximately 58% of patients respond positively to TMS therapy. The benefits of TMS treatment are a minimal side effects, non invasive, and has been proven as a treatment for depression. TMS treatment includes 4 to 6 treatments that take less than an hour each day, 5 days a week. The way the TMS machine works is the patient is fitted for a cap on their head. Short pulses of magnetic energy are focused at the limbic system structures. Then the pulses trigger electrical charges, causing neurons to become active. Once the limbic system structures change, so do your emotional and behavioral patterns! This is why we need to do these treatments so frequently.
