TMS Therapy for Brain Treatment

TMS delivers short pulses of electromagnetic energy into the brain, stimulating the nerve cells associated with treatment-resistant depression and other mental health disorders. The goal of TMS is to disrupt the firing pattern of certain neurons to reset dysfunctional processes in the brain. By altering unhelpful brain patterns, TMS can improve the symptoms of many different conditions and enhance your mental, emotional, and physical capabilities.

TMS has been shown to treat:

Major depressive disorder

TMS is currently FDA-approved to minimize the symptoms of treatment-resistant depression. If you’ve already tried traditional antidepressant medications, therapy, and other coping strategies with little to no success, ask Dr. Armstrong if TMS is right for you.

Sleep Disorders

Studies show that poor sleep quality can have a negative influence on your physical and mental health. Disrupted intracortical excitability may be to blame for conditions such as insomnia, according to new research. By inhibiting this process, TMS can help calm the brain and promote restful sleep.

COVID Brain Fog

Approximately 40% of individuals with COVID report long-term side effects, most notably brain fog and cognitive impairment. New studies show that TMS therapy may help stimulate blood flow to address COVID brain fog and vision problems that can result from the infection.

Concussions

TMS may be an effective treatment for post-concussive headaches and depression. If you’re experiencing the negative side effects of a concussion, talk to Dr. Armstrong about TMS.

Perimenopause (Mommy Brain)

Among the many challenges of perimenopause, or “mommy brain,” is depression. TMS has been shown to relieve the symptoms of depression related to perimenopause. Whether you experience fatigue, low libido, or brain fog, TMS can help you take back control of your life.

Autism & ADHD

Disrupted brain activity plays an important role in the development of mental health disorders, like autism and ADHD. By restoring neuronal activity and leveling brainwaves, TMS can help minimize many of the symptoms of autism and ADHD. Improving concentration, minimizing anxiety, and reducing impulsivity are just a few ways TMS can help treat autism and ADHD.

Memory Problems

Poor sleep quality can diminish your brain health and increase your risk of brain fog, dementia, and difficulty concentrating. If you frequently experience sleep disturbances, you may have trouble retaining new information. TMS improves the neuronal activity in your brain to restore healthy cognitive function and prevent memory loss.

Brain treatment is completely non-invasive and requires no anesthesia or downtime. You can drive yourself home immediately after the procedure and resume your normal activities right away. Headaches, lightheadedness, and mild scalp pain are common side effects of TMS that should subside quickly.
