TMS TREATMENT

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of mental illness do you treat?

We offer TMS treatments to patients with a variety of mental wellness challenges. Some of these include depression (or MDD), anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, postpartum depression, Bipolar, panic disorders, and suicide ideation.

Are your treatments available to children and teens?

Yes, we are unique in this. Our specific equipment and trained staff allow us to make these treatments more universally available. Generally children need to be 8+. Some exceptions may apply.

What if I don’t have a formal diagnosis?

No problem. Many of our patients reach out because they want help with their wellness even though they haven’t been formally diagnosed with anything.  

Are TMS treatments FDA Approved?

Yes. Using TMS to treat depression (MDD) has been FDA approved and rigorously tested for over 10 years. Excitingly, many new treatment protocols for additional mental health conditions have been tested and FDA approved in the last several years. 

How do your TMS treatments work?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) relies on the Faraday principle. We apply a specific and targeted magnetic field to select parts of the brain from the outside, and the brain internally converts that magnetic field into a current; providing the brain with added energy to do important things like reconnect neurons. One important consequence of this targeted stimulation is increased brain connectivity in and among core brain networks. A breakdown in network connectivity is a serious barrier to wellness. A common brain network central to many of our treatments is the Executive Network. Many of our treatments involve stimulations to the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, the Executive Networks primary hub.

What are TMS treatments like?

With no side-effects, no medications, and healing that lasts it’s an amazing solution for those who benefit! While some patients experience discomfort during treatment, many simply describe it as a unique sensation. Most sessions are 4 to 10 minutes in length with patients generally receiving between 36 - 50 sessions. Happily, the majority of patients who receive treatment benefit!

How long before I notice the benefits of your TMS treatments?

Most patients begin to feel the difference with our treatments in just a few days! But for some, it can take a few weeks. There’s a lot of factors and everyones different.

Is TMS always effective?

No. However, our pre screening protocols help us narrow down who will benefit before the first treatment is ever given. We’re serious about elevating mental wellness and only want to treat those who have a real chance of benefiting. We’re ready to help you figure out those critical decisions.

Is TMS safe?

Yes. There are no persisting side effects or impairments. TMS has been around for a very long time, with millions of administered treatments. New technology and new protocols have recently made it far more effective, but the treatment itself is time-tested and proven to be completely safe.

Is anyone precluded from receiving TMS?

Anyone who has had metal placed in or around the head is not a candidate for TMS. Examples include aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, and stents.

Do I have to have a referral from a doctor?

No. We are happy to meet with, educate, and provide treatment to anyone who wants to improve their mental wellness.

Is this covered by insurance?

We are proud to offer some of the lowest treatment rates in the Country! Our TMS Treatments are only available to cash paying patients. We accept cash, check, credit card, and other third-party financing options. We do not bill insurance.

Please keep in mind that while some may accept insurance for TMS treatments, most patients do not qualify. Only select cases of standard treatment for depression, with patients needing to meet various requirements, can be covered. Additionally, the newest, most effective FDA approved protocols for depression are not yet covered.
