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 (TRD). At our Raleigh facility, we are committed to offering state-of-the-art care within a compassionate and professional environment.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge, FDA-approved treatment for depression that does not require surgery or medication. Using a specialized device, our trained technicians deliver precisely targeted magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. This stimulation helps to activate nerve cells that may be underactive, potentially leading to improved mood and reduced depressive symptoms.
Our Raleigh TMS Treatment Process
At our Raleigh location, the TMS process begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate. If you are cleared for treatment, our team will explain the procedure in detail. During a typical TMS session, you will remain comfortably seated and awake. The TMS device will be positioned near your head, and pulses of magnetic energy will be directed to specific brain regions. You will hear clicking sounds and may feel gentle tapping sensations on your scalp during the treatment, which lasts approximately 20-40 minutes per session. Most patients find TMS comfortable enough to tolerate without significant discomfort.
