TMS of Tennessee - Franklin Location
Welcome to TMS of Tennessee, your dedicated center for advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064. We specialize in providing highly effective, non-invasive treatment options for individuals seeking relief from depression and other specific conditions, utilizing the FDA-approved NeuroStar® TMS system right here in our Franklin office.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). At TMS of Tennessee Franklin, we utilize the NeuroStar® TMS system, which is the first and only TMS device cleared by the FDA. This advanced technology uses focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation.
The brain naturally generates electrical impulses that control various functions, including mood. In individuals with depression, certain areas of the brain may not be active enough. NeuroStar TMS works by using these magnetic pulses to induce small electrical currents in the targeted brain regions, effectively increasing neuronal activity and neurotransmitter release. This process aims to restore the brain's natural balance and improve symptoms of depression.
How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Work at TMS of Tennessee Franklin?
During a typical NeuroStar TMS session at our Franklin location, you will be comfortably seated in a reclining chair. A small, comfortable helmet containing the magnetic coil will be positioned gently against your head near the scalp. This coil is not painful and generates a focused magnetic field. The magnetic pulses are designed to precisely target specific areas of the brain involved in mood control.
You will hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head during the treatment. Most patients find NeuroStar TMS comfortable enough to tolerate without the need for anesthesia or sedation. The actual treatment session lasts approximately 20-40 minutes, and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately afterward, including work or school. A standard course of treatment typically involves sessions five days a week for four to six weeks.
