More About NeuroStar
Advanced Therapy TMS
Backed By Proven Research
During a NeuroStar Advanced Therapy treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. The result of these magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission achievable.
Trusted By Professionals
Since the FDA clearance of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS in 2008, insurance coverage for eligible patients has increased significantly. Including most Medicare and Tricare plans nationwide. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS is not a first line of treatment, it is an alternative option for those who are not responding to or cannot tolerate the side effects of medications.
TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
How TMS works
Since the 1980s, treatment for depression has consisted mostly of antidepressants. Lots of people have felt better from antidepressants, but they don’t work for everyone. TMS therapy isn’t an antidepressant medication. Instead, it works by using gentle magnetic pulses.
Unlike medications, which affect the entire body as they pass through the blood-brain barrier, TMS therapy targets depression at the source. That means you don’t have to put up with drug-related side effects, such as gastrointestinal problems, trouble sleeping, or weight gain.
Unlike other forms of brain stimulation, TMS therapy is non-invasive and non-sedating. Treatment sessions take place in our private centers and you can drive yourself to and from treatment. You can go back to work or school right away.
Your Care Team – providers, patient consultants, TMS technicians – are here for you. We work with you every step of the way to ensure you’re getting the care you need. Your TMS Technician will be with you during treatments and you’re free to chat with them or just sit and relax.

What People Are Saying
Practice reported patient outcomes
Kristi
“It’s like coming out of a shell. There are so many people who suffer from depression who can be helped by NeuroStar.”
Kelly
"There was one day that I walked outside and it was as if the sky was bluer. I would tell people that are considering NeuroStar as a treatment option to stay patient. In my case, it did not work right away. So I had to keep going to treatments, and it eventually worked for me. There are so many opportunities for me and none of this would be possible without NeuroStar TMS"
Tod
"I finally reached for help to help myself, and with the NeuroStar treatment, it changed my life. It's being satisfying to know that something works."
