How TMS Works
TMS is a noninvasive treatment provided while the patient is fully awake and comfortably seated in a specialized TMS chair. A magnetic coil, similar to those used in MRI machines, is positioned on the front left side of the patient’s head. Most patients experience this as a gentle tapping sensation on the head.
Simple Yet Effective Depression Treatment
Our Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy facility, conveniently located NEAR Slinger, utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive regions in the brains of depression sufferers. This non-invasive method is administered while patients are fully conscious and comfortable, with routine activities resumable right after the session. The sensation felt from the strategically-placed magnetic coil on the head is often compared to a light tap. Patients from Slinger and other parts of SE Wisconsin area have easy access to our world-class TMS therapy services.
