Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) provides safe and effective treatment for depression. It is a technique that uses powerful, focused magnetic field pulses to stimulate the neurons of the brain. TMS stimulates areas of the brain that are under active because of depression. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses electro-magnetic fields to alleviate and remit depressive symptoms. Deep TMS therapy has been employed by leading physicians world-wide to successfully treat depression and other mental disorders. Brainsways state of the art TMS device is the only FDA cleared device for “Deep TMS Therapy”. Deep TMS Therapy stimulates the brain region responsible for depression almost twice as deep as other TMS devices and stimulates a broader spectrum of the brain. Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) is a revolutionary form of brain stimulation that more closely mimics the natural rhythms of activity in the neurons of the brain. Theta Bursts are short bursts of stimulation at high frequencies, with the bursts themselves being applied 5 times per second. First used in 2005, TBS has been shown to produce stronger and longer-lasting changes in brain activity, while requiring much less time to administer. Clinicians believe that TBS may eventually prove to be more effective than the older forms of stimulation in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. We are so excited about TBS stimulation that we offer “off label” TBS treatment on 2 different TBS devices- Brainsway® (“Deep Theta Burst Therapy”) and MagVita® (“Theta Burst Therapy”) for depression and a variety of other mental disorders.
