When depression and mood disorders show resistance to other therapies, TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) may prove a practical option. At Tru Health and Wellness, we offer this non-invasive therapy by qualified and experienced experts to improve depressive symptoms when other treatments don’t give desired results.
WHAT DOES TMS THERAPY INCLUDE?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation involves the repetitive use of magnetic pulses that stimulate your brain’s specific nerve cells responsible for controlling mood. This non-invasive, FDA-approved method allows magnetic pulses passage through the skull to painlessly stimulate cells within the brain. The procedure improves communication and coordination between different brain parts, which positively impacts your mood.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
How exactly TMS works is still unclear, but its stimulations seem to place a lasting impact on brain functions, which eases symptoms of depression and uplifts mood . Passing magnetic pulses through your brain may appear scary, but the strength and type of these pulses are similar to those used by MRI equipment. So they are considered safe for TMS therapy. Unlike other electrical therapies, this treatment does not need sedation and has no side effects and downtime.
Our trained and qualified expert at Tru Health and Wellness delivers TMS treatment after careful assessment of your condition. We keep you informed about the procedure and the number of sessions required for the treatment depending on your treatment response and various other factors.
According to different research studies , 1 out of 2 patients significantly recover from depression symptoms following TMS therapy, and 1 out of 3 patients completely recover from symptoms of major depression.
