We understand if you have questions about your treatment,such as how comfortable it will be, how long it will take, and whether it will truly make a difference in treating your mental health. These normal questions to have, and we can give you the answers you need.
For more information, schedule your consultation for NeuroStar TMS therapy with AMS Health and Wellness. Your first TMS session could be the beginning of a transformative journey toward a happier, healthier you. The team at AMS Health and Wellness can help make that happen.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy works by improving your brain activity to ease your depression, anxious depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms by physically stimulating your brain. Medications do the same thing; however, they work to improve your brain functioning by regulating your chemical balance internally.
TMS treatments work by safely activating your brain’s nerve cells with gentle magnetic pulses delivered through a specialized NeuroStar treatment device. The device improves your brain activity in areas associated with depression, anxious depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder and alleviates their symptoms.
During your first TMS session at AMS Health and Wellness, you will be welcomed into our modern, comfortable, state-of-the-art facility. Our highly trained and compassionate TMS technicians will guide you through the TMS process, explaining each step and answering your questions and concerns.
Your treatment will take place in one of our private treatment rooms, facilitated by one of our TMS technicians. Since this is not a surgical treatment, no sedation is required. You will be alert, awake, and relaxed the entire time.
Once you are seated in one of our comfortable, cushioned treatment chairs, our TMS technician will direct the special NeuroStar treatment wand to certain regions of your brain. The device will be gently tapped on your skull and send gentle magnetic pulses that target areas of your brain involved in mood regulation, emotion, and behavior. This process is completely non-invasive. Your session could be as short as 19 minutes and requires no downtime or recovery time. You are free to leave and go about your daily activities after your treatment as you please. For most of our patients, this process is almost entirely painless. In fact, many of our patients find the process relaxing, and choose to read, scroll on their phones, or listen to music during treatment.
Over the course of your treatment regimen, which usually spans 36 daily sessions, you will gradually notice improvements in your mood and overall well-being. Every patient is different. Some will notice effects after the first or second TMS session, whereas most patients will experience effects after the entire treatment program.
