TMS of the Carolinas, located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617, offers advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. We provide a specialized, non-invasive treatment option for individuals seeking relief from depression and other conditions typically managed with TMS.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared therapy used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS targets specific areas of the brain identified as underactive using functional MRI scans. Through focused magnetic pulses, TMS stimulates these regions to promote neural activity and potentially alleviate symptoms of depression.
How Does TMS Work?
During a TMS session, our trained technicians will position a magnetic coil against your scalp, near the area of your brain that shows reduced activity. The device then generates brief magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and into the brain tissue. These pulses create tiny electrical currents that stimulate nerve cells in the targeted region, mimicking the effects of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with no sedation required, and sessions typically last between 20-40 minutes.
