We understand that mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, and we are committed to offering effective, non-invasive treatment options for those struggling with certain mental health conditions.
Our practice focuses specifically on delivering NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy directly to our Franklin location. TMS is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment designed for individuals diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This means it can be an option for those who have not found sufficient relief from traditional antidepressant medications.
What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting drugs, eliminating systemic side effects like nausea, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation.
The treatment works by targeting underactive regions of the brain associated with depression. Using focused pulses, the TMS device helps to regulate these areas, potentially restoring balance and improving mood. It's a comfortable, outpatient procedure performed while the patient sits comfortably in a chair.
How Does TMS Therapy Work at TMS of Tennessee?
At our Franklin center, our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate for TMS Therapy. If appropriate, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
During a typical TMS session, you will be comfortably seated. The NeuroStar device will be positioned near your head, and electromagnetic pulses will gently stimulate your brain's prefrontal cortex. You will hear a clicking sound and may feel a tapping sensation on your scalp during the treatment. Most patients find the procedure comfortable and well-tolerated, with no anesthesia or sedation required.
Each session lasts approximately 20-40 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Treatments are typically scheduled five days a week (Monday through Friday) for four to six weeks. Our team will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you understand each step and addressing any questions you may have.
