Breakthrough Depression Treatment in the Peninsula
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy offers hope when other treatments haven't worked. FDA-approved, non-invasive, and with minimal side effects. Serving Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
Unlike other treatments, TMS therapy is completely non-invasive and doesn't require any surgical procedures. You remain awake and alert during the entire treatment.
TMS has been FDA-approved since 2008 for the treatment of depression and has shown significant results in clinical studies and real-world applications.
Unlike medications, TMS therapy has minimal side effects. Most patients report only mild discomfort during treatment, which typically subsides after the first few sessions.
