Welcome to TMS of Tennessee, your dedicated provider of advanced NeuroStar TMS Therapy located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064. We are committed to serving the residents of Franklin with state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment options designed to address specific mental health conditions. Our practice is focused solely on delivering high-quality care right here in our community, utilizing the latest advancements in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to help improve lives.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a breakthrough treatment developed by NeuroStar, the leading manufacturer of TMS devices. It is FDA-cleared and represents a significant advancement in the treatment of depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, which can take weeks to become effective and often come with unwanted side effects, NeuroStar TMS Therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free alternative.
How does NeuroStar TMS Therapy work? Our specialized TMS device uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate targeted areas of the brain involved in depression. The treatment is delivered through a comfortable, handheld device placed against the scalp. Patients typically receive sessions daily for up to four to six weeks. A crucial aspect of the NeuroStar system is its patented "Cortexilium" coil, which is designed to conform comfortably to the unique shape of each patient's head, ensuring precise targeting of the brain areas most relevant to their condition.
The procedure itself is generally well-tolerated. Most patients hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on their scalp during the treatment. There is no surgery, no anesthesia, and patients can drive themselves to and from their sessions. Furthermore, NeuroStar TMS Therapy does not require a change in lifestyle or diet, and patients can continue taking their current medications unless advised otherwise by their doctor during the course of treatment.
At TMS of Tennessee, located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064, our experienced team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the TMS process. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if NeuroStar TMS Therapy is appropriate for you. If it is, our team will work closely with you and your referring physician to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
We understand that choosing a treatment for depression is a significant decision. Our goal at TMS of Tennessee is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive environment. We are committed to helping Franklin residents facing treatment-resistant depression find relief and regain control of their lives through the effective, non-invasive power of NeuroStar TMS Therapy.
