Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neurostimulation procedure used for therapeutic and research purposes. It stimulates nerve cells in your brain with magnetic fields. There are many advantages to TMS, and it has been studied and used as a therapeutic intervention for various neuropsychiatric conditions—including major depressive disorder (MDD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Because no medications or electric shock are used, treatments are considered to be extremely safe.
Our team is here to answer any questions you may have about NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy in Franklin, Tennessee and is excited to help you get your life back.
When you are struggling with depression and are not finding relief with any of the traditional treatments, you may want to try NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy treatments in Franklin. Instead of drugs and electric shock therapy that can create more problems, your brain can actually heal.
Focused magnetic pulses, similar to an MRI, reignite dormant synapses in your brain and help it function properly. Certain areas in your brain control your mood, and when the synaptic connections in these areas are underactive, depression and chronic pain can occur.
TMS works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A magnetic field is generated when an electric current travels through a coil. When this coil is placed near the scalp, it induces electrical currents in the underlying brain tissue.
TMS can be used for both diagnosis and research purposes because it maps brain function by stimulating different areas of the brain and observing the resulting effects on motor or sensory functions. It is used as a diagnostic tool to assess the excitability of the motor pathways in certain neurological conditions. It is widely used as a research tool in neuroscience to investigate brain function, cognition, and the effects of brain stimulation on various tasks and behaviors.

Our team in Franklin is dedicated to sharing the benefits of NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy as an alternative to mainstream medicine for treating depression. You can be treated and not have to experience the problems associated with medications and electric shock therapy.
This is a non-invasive procedure, meaning that it does not require surgery or the insertion of instruments into the body. Because no drugs are involved, there are no side effects like those associated with most psychiatric medications—such as sexual problems, brain fog, fatigue, and dry mouth. Because this is not electric shock therapy, there are no adverse reactions like fatigue, nausea, jaw pain, blood pressure spikes, and anesthesia-associated risks.
As long as it is administered by trained professionals—like our team in Tennessee—you will be safe throughout the entire process.
TMS treatment is highly personalized based on individual responses and brain mapping results. It allows for the precise and targeted stimulation of specific areas of the brain. The coil can be positioned over a particular region to influence the neural activity in that area.
Fast results are another advantage. You do not have to wait for extended periods of time to get relief. This is an in-office treatment that lasts as little as 19 minutes a day for seven weeks. Because TMS therapy gets to the root cause, you can see significant improvements—such as improved mood and a desire to engage with others—in under two months.
Non invasive and non systemic.
Typical treatment consists of 5 sessions per week over 7 weeks.
