TMS of Tennessee - Franklin Location
Welcome to TMS of Tennessee, your dedicated center for advanced NeuroStar TMS Therapy located right here in Franklin, TN, at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064. We are committed to providing state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment options for individuals seeking relief from treatment-resistant depression and other qualifying conditions within our local community.
What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a breakthrough, FDA-approved therapy designed to treat Major Depressive Disorder in adults. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, which often require weeks to become effective and can come with unwanted side effects, NeuroStar TMS targets specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation using focused magnetic pulses.
How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Work?
During a NeuroStar TMS session, our trained technicians will position a comfortable coil against your head. This coil generates precisely measured magnetic pulses that gently stimulate nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain crucial for controlling mood and behavior. The treatment is completely painless, non-invasive, and does not require any medication. Most patients hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on their scalp during the procedure.
Typically, a standard course of NeuroStar TMS Therapy involves daily sessions, Monday through Friday, for approximately four to six weeks. Each session lasts about 20-40 minutes, allowing many patients to complete their treatment during their lunch break or after work. Our team at the Franklin location is dedicated to making your TMS therapy experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.
