TMS of Tennessee, located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064, is dedicated to providing advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy specifically for the residents of Franklin. We are a specialized practice focused solely on delivering NeuroStar TMS Therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
Understanding NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment for depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting pills. Instead, it uses a specialized device to generate a gentle magnetic field that stimulates specific areas of the brain involved in depression.
The NeuroStar TMS system, the device we utilize at our Franklin location, is the first and only TMS therapy cleared by the FDA for treating major depressive disorder, including cases that have not responded adequately to one or more antidepressant medications (treatment-resistant depression).
How NeuroStar TMS Therapy Works at TMS of Tennessee
During a NeuroStar TMS session, you will be comfortably seated in a reclining chair. A highly focused magnetic coil will be positioned gently against your head. This coil emits rapid magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and induce small electrical currents in targeted areas of your brain.
The targeted stimulation helps to activate nerve cells (neurons) in regions of the brain associated with mood regulation that may be underactive in individuals with depression. The treatment is completely painless and does not involve any electrical currents passing through the body. Most patients describe the sensation as a tapping or tapping-like sensation on the scalp.
Our team at TMS of Tennessee Franklin is experienced in performing these sessions. Each session typically lasts about 20-40 minutes and is generally well-tolerated. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately following a session, including work or school.
