TMS of the Carolinas is pleased to serve the residents of Raleigh from our dedicated center located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617. We specialize in providing advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a non-invasive treatment option designed to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression and other specific mental health conditions.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a cutting-edge therapeutic technology used to treat depression and other conditions. It works by using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex, an area often underactive in individuals experiencing depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting drugs, making it an appealing option for many seeking relief from their symptoms.
Our Raleigh TMS Treatment Process
At our Raleigh location, our experienced team is committed to providing a comprehensive and comfortable TMS experience. The process typically begins with a thorough evaluation to determine if TMS is appropriate for you. If you are a suitable candidate, our clinicians will explain the procedure in detail.
During a TMS session, you will be comfortably seated in a reclining chair. A small device will be placed gently against your head, generating a gentle tapping sound and a mild tingling sensation on your scalp. You will remain fully awake and alert throughout the session, which usually lasts about 20-40 minutes. Most patients find the procedure well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
At TMS of the Carolinas in Raleigh, we tailor the TMS protocol to your specific needs, ensuring the most effective treatment possible. Our goal is to help you achieve significant improvement in your mood and overall quality of life.
