TMS of the Carolinas - Raleigh Location
Welcome to TMS of the Carolinas, your dedicated provider of advanced transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617. We are committed to offering state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment options for individuals seeking relief from specific health conditions, primarily depression, within the Raleigh community.
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a cutting-edge, FDA-approved therapy designed to treat major depressive disorder in adults. For individuals who may not have found sufficient relief with traditional antidepressant medications or who prefer a non-pharmacological approach, TMS offers a promising alternative. The procedure utilizes highly specialized equipment to generate focused magnetic fields that gently stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
How Does TMS Therapy Work?
During a typical TMS session, you will be comfortably seated in a reclining chair. A small device, similar in appearance to a hairdryer, will be positioned gently against your head. This device will generate brief magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and precisely target specific regions of your brain identified as underactive during your diagnostic evaluation.
These pulses are designed to induce small electrical currents in the targeted brain areas, effectively stimulating nerve cells that play a crucial role in regulating mood. Unlike older forms of magnetic stimulation, the pulses used in modern TMS are precisely controlled and delivered non-invasively, requiring no anesthesia or sedation.
You will likely hear a clicking sound during the treatment and may feel a tapping sensation on your head. Most patients find TMS sessions comfortable and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects compared to many pharmaceutical interventions.
