Magnetic Brain Therapy = TMS
Magnetic Brain Therapy — A Breakthrough Treatment for Depression & Anxiety.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) targets the brain circuits behind many mental health conditions directly — no pills, no sedation, no downtime. At NeuroStim, 71.5% of our patients achieve significant improvement.
What Is Magnetic Brain Therapy?
How Magnetic Brain Therapy (TMS) Works
“Magnetic brain therapy” refers to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation — a clinically proven, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific regions of the brain. It’s the same technology used in MRI machines, precisely focused on the neural circuits involved in depression, anxiety, and OCD.
A TMS device places a magnetic coil gently against your scalp. Short magnetic pulses pass through the skull painlessly, stimulating underactive neurons in the prefrontal cortex — the brain’s mood-regulation center. Over a full course of treatment, this restores healthy neural communication and reduces symptoms at their source.
Each session lasts 15–20 minutes at one of our 16 centers. You remain fully awake and alert, sitting comfortably in a chair. No sedation, no anesthesia, no recovery time. Most patients drive themselves home and return to normal activities the same day.

Is Magnetic Brain Therapy Right for You?
▼
Magnetic brain therapy (TMS) is most effective for patients who haven’t found lasting relief from medication or therapy alone. It’s FDA-approved for Major Depressive Disorder and FDA-cleared for OCD — and growing clinical evidence supports its use for anxiety disorders as well.
TMS works alongside your current treatment. Many patients continue medication or therapy during their TMS course and find the combination more effective. Your NeuroStim clinician will coordinate with your existing care team to create a plan tailored to your needs.
*TMS is FDA-approved for Major Depressive Disorder (2008) and FDA-cleared for OCD (2018). Use for anxiety is considered off-label and supported by clinical evidence. Your clinician will evaluate your specific situation.

Yes. TMS has been FDA-approved since 2008 and has a well-established safety record. The most common side effect is mild scalp sensitivity during sessions. There’s no sedation, no surgery, and no systemic medication involved.
How many sessions does magnetic brain therapy require?
A standard course is 36 sessions over 6–9 weeks, with sessions lasting 15–20 minutes each. Most patients begin noticing improvement within 2–3 weeks.
