Once your treatment plan is in place, you’ll begin a series of TMS sessions designed to gently and effectively stimulate the areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Each session lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes and is performed right in our comfortable, private treatment rooms at the TMS Health Center. Our clinic is designed with your comfort in mind, creating a calming environment where you can relax and focus on your healing journey.
During each session, you’ll be seated in a reclining chair while a trained technician positions a magnetic coil gently against your scalp. This coil delivers rapid magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, depending on your condition and treatment plan. These pulses are completely non-invasive and do not require anesthesia or sedation. Most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping or clicking on the scalp.
Because there’s no need for recovery time, you’ll remain fully awake and alert throughout the session. Many patients choose to read a book, listen to music, or simply relax while the treatment is in progress. You’ll be closely monitored by our experienced team to ensure that each session is comfortable and tailored to your needs. TMS therapy does not interfere with your ability to drive or resume normal activities, so you can easily return to work, school, or other responsibilities immediately afterward.
These sessions are typically scheduled five days a week over a period of four to six weeks, depending on your individualized plan. As treatment progresses, many patients begin to notice gradual improvements in mood, focus, and overall well-being. Our team remains actively involved throughout the process, adjusting settings as needed and ensuring that each session brings you closer to lasting relief and a brighter outlook.
