TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION (TMS)
The Experience
To get the most out of your treatment, it’s important that you feel as relaxed as possible. Our spa-like space features thoughtful design elements to encourage relaxation before your session.Â
Following your session you are welcome to take as much time as you need to relax in our recovery lounge.
What will you experience?
During your visit with us, our team will make sure you feel physically and mentally ready to start your TMS journey. This graphic depicts the flow of a typical TMS appointment.
Appointment overview
Discuss any recent changes in medication, sleep, etc.
We schedule more time with you during your first session so that our technicians can accurately map out the areas of your brain for precise treatment targeting. During this calibration, our technicians will determine what is called the motor threshold, which is re-taken every appointment to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
The technician will place a special helmet on your head. Once the helmet is comfortable fastened, they will activate the stimulation.Â
Patients typically report a tapping sensation on the side of their head—some even say it sounds like a woodpecker tapping on the helmet. While not painful, the feeling may be jarring at first, but you will get used to it over the course of your sessions.Â
You are free to browse your phone, or watch calming programming on our TVs.
Once complete, you are free to resume your activities with no restrictions in terms of travel, work, or physical movement.
