RIVER ROAD TMS
(TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION)
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. By activating these regions, TMS can help improve communication between brain cells and relieve symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions.
Unlike medication, TMS does not involve drugs, require anesthesia, or cause lasting side effects. Treatments are done in-office and take less than thirty minutes. Over the course of therapy, many people experience significant improvement in their mood, energy, and overall quality of life.
A Depression Treatment Alternative
TMS isn’t another medication. It’s more like physical therapy for the brain. Many patients turn to TMS after multiple medications haven’t worked. Over 4.3 million TMS treatments have been performed worldwide to date, more than 80% of patients experienced improvement in their depression symptoms. TMS is a safe, proven, and smarter way to treat depression.
