TMS of the Carolinas - Raleigh Location
Welcome to TMS of the Carolinas, your dedicated center for advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617. We specialize in providing non-invasive, effective treatment options for individuals seeking relief from depression and other qualifying conditions within our Raleigh community.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment for depression and other conditions. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting pills. Instead, our advanced TMS system uses magnetic fields to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation, which may become underactive in depression. This targeted approach aims to help restore balance and promote improvement in mood and overall well-being.
How Does TMS Work?
During a TMS session, our trained technicians will position a magnetic coil against your scalp near your forehead. This device generates brief magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and reach the brain. These pulses are designed to target specific neural pathways, particularly those associated with depression, using focused energy. The treatment is generally comfortable, with some patients feeling a tapping sensation or a slight pressure. There is no anesthesia required, and you can drive yourself home after each session.
Who Can Benefit from TMS at Our Raleigh Clinic?
At our Raleigh location, we offer TMS therapy for adults experiencing depression (major depressive disorder) that has not responded adequately to previous treatments, including medication trials or psychotherapy. We carefully evaluate each patient to determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment option. While primarily used for depression, TMS technology is also being explored and used for conditions like anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and certain types of chronic pain, subject to evaluation at our facility.
