TMS of Tennessee: Advanced NeuroStar TMS Therapy at Franklin's Premier Location
Welcome to TMS of Tennessee, your dedicated center for advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064. We specialize in providing highly effective, non-invasive treatment options for individuals seeking relief from conditions like major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Our state-of-the-art facility in Franklin is committed to delivering personalized care using the FDA-approved NeuroStar® TMS system, bringing cutting-edge mental health solutions directly to the community we serve.
Understanding NeuroStar® TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting drugs. Instead, it uses focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation and cognitive function.
The NeuroStar® TMS system, the one we utilize at our Franklin location, is the first and only TMS device cleared by the FDA. It is designed with patient comfort and effective treatment outcomes in mind. The system includes a Comfort Guard™ feature that automatically pauses the treatment if the patient moves, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the session. Our advanced equipment allows for precise targeting of brain regions involved in depression, leading to potentially significant improvements in mood and overall well-being.
How NeuroStar TMS Therapy Works at TMS of Tennessee
At our Franklin practice, the TMS process begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced healthcare team. We carefully assess your condition to determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment option for you. If TMS therapy is deemed suitable, our team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
During a typical TMS session, which lasts about 20-40 minutes, you will comfortably lie in a chair within our Franklin office. The NeuroStar® device will be positioned near your head, and electromagnetic pulses will gently stimulate nerve cells in your brain's prefrontal cortex. Most patients find TMS sessions comfortable, with some describing a tapping sensation on their scalp. There is no sedation required, and you can return to your normal activities immediately following each treatment.
At TMS of Tennessee, our focus is on delivering consistent, high-quality care. Most patients begin to notice therapeutic effects within the first few weeks of treatment, although the full course of therapy, typically involving sessions five days a week for several weeks, is necessary to achieve optimal results.
