NeuroStim TMS: World Class TMS Therapy Experts in Spokane Valley

For many, Spokane Valley is a little slice of heaven. As the largest suburb of Spokane, it offers easy access to urban delights with the calm, comfort, and convenience of suburban living. No wonder it has been ranked among the nation’s most livable mid-sized cities.

Nature lovers can’t get enough of activities on the Spokane Valley River nor of mountain sports like hiking and skiing. But even in a city as livable as Spokane Valley, the challenges of depression are real.

That’s why at NeuroStim TMS, we’re committed to helping residents of Spokane Valley overcome depression and related disorders through a highly effective, drug-free treatment known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

If you suffer from depression, you’re far from alone. In fact, in 2023, nearly 30% of U.S. adults reported having been diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. And yet, even given this frequency, this difficult illness is unfairly stigmatized and often misunderstood. For that reason, too many people fail to get help. And even if they do get help, the treatment may be ineffective or come with a raft of side effects.

At NeuroStim TMS in Spokane Valley, we’re honored to be helping our fellow community members break free from the debilitating effects of depression and discover hope through effective, lasting treatment.

Depression Treatment in Spokane Valley

Many of our patients come to us beaten down by treatment fatigue. They’ve tried it all, but nothing has worked. NeuroStim TMS offers a fresh approach with alternative depression treatment that routinely succeeds where other methods have failed.

Stubborn conditions like major depressive order (MDD), treatment resistant depression (TRD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and mood disorders have all responded to TMS in many of our patients who have not found improvement through traditional treatment methods.

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?

TMS is an FDA-approved method that operates through a device that is placed adjacent to the head. It transmits magnetic pulses to the parts of the brain that affect mood and emotion control. It is generally well tolerated and non-invasive. Many patients read or even use their smartphone during treatment.

Side effects are minimal and rare. A small number of patients report minimal scalp discomfort after the treatment, but this can be relieved with over-the-counter medications or acclamation to treatment.

In contrast, antidepressant medications can come with many symptoms that affect libido, energy levels, appetite, weight, sleep patterns, gastrointestinal function, and more.

Why Spokane Valley Patients Choose TMS Treatment for Major Depression Disorder and Other Mental Health Conditions

Depression is not just a bad mood or a bad attitude. It’s a serious medical illness that negatively influences the way you think and act. You can’t just wake up and choose to be happy one day. You can’t beat depression with white knuckles and willpower. Depression can be crippling and overwhelming, making you feel empty, irritable, and hopeless.
