What Is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment that has gained worldwide recognition over the past 30 years for its effectiveness in addressing mental health conditions. Approved by the FDA, TMS therapy is now available for individuals struggling with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This innovative TMS treatment provides hope for patients who have not found relief through traditional methods, using safe and targeted technology to stimulate the brain’s nerve cells without surgery or medication.
How Does TMS Work?
TMS treatment uses short pulses of magnetic energy to activate specific regions in the brain believed to be responsible for mood regulation and emotional processing. During transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy, these rapid pulses are delivered through a coil placed against the scalp, allowing magnetic fields to pass through the skull. This process generates electric currents in targeted brain areas, prompting neurons to fire and stimulating surrounding cells. By boosting activity in underactive brain regions, TMS helps restore balance and improve symptoms associated with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TMS FAQs
How painful is TMS therapy?
TMS therapy is generally not painful. Most patients report only mild discomfort, such as a tapping sensation on the scalp during treatment. Any initial discomfort typically subsides after the first few session.
Does transcranial magnetic stimulation rewire the brain?
Yes, transcranial magnetic stimulation can help rewire the brain by inducing neuroplasticity. This process involves forming new neural connections, which can improve brain function and alleviate symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions.
Do you need a referral for TMS treatment?
You do not need a referral to start TMS treatment as a private client. However, a referral may be required to claim insurance benefits for the treatment.
Can TMS cause personality changes?
TMS does not cause personality changes. It is designed to treat mood disorders without altering an individual’s core personality traits.
