TMS of the Carolinas - Raleigh Location
Welcome to TMS of the Carolinas, serving our Raleigh community from our dedicated center located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617. We specialize in providing advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a non-invasive treatment option designed to help individuals suffering from specific mental health conditions.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge therapeutic technology used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorders, and other conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting drugs. Instead, it uses focused magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex, an area often associated with depression and anxiety.
How Does TMS Work?
During a TMS session, our trained technicians will position a device over your scalp. This device generates brief magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and reach the targeted areas of your brain. These pulses are designed to trigger nerve cells to send more signals than they would naturally, effectively "awakening" underactive regions associated with mood regulation.
The procedure is completely painless and does not involve any electrical currents passing through the body. Most patients find the sensation similar to a light tapping or tapping on the head. While some may experience a mild tingling or tapping sensation, there is no anesthesia required, and patients remain awake and alert throughout the treatment.
