Depression treatment beyond medication.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses precise magnetic pulses to rekindle inactive neural connections and restore the brain's natural functioning. No drugs, no sedation, no "shock" treatment, no surgery — and no systemic side effects.
Waking up the circuits depression turned down.
TMS uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate the specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. Those magnetic fields induce small electrical currents that encourage neural activity — particularly effective in Major Depressive Disorder when medications haven't delivered.
A typical course is one brief session daily over four to six weeks, with the total number of sessions tailored to your response. Because nothing enters your bloodstream, TMS avoids the weight gain, fatigue, and other systemic side effects that come with many antidepressants.
Does it hurt? Most patients describe it as a light tapping on the head. No anesthesia, no sedation — you drive yourself home and resume your day immediately.
A solution beyond medication.
Effective where medication wasn't
TMS is particularly beneficial for patients who haven't found relief through antidepressants or other conventional therapies — the definition of treatment-resistant care.
Minimal disruption to daily life
Sessions are brief and require no recovery time. Most patients schedule TMS around work, school, or Fort Campbell duty days without missing a beat.

Is TMS covered by insurance?
Often, yes. Many insurance companies cover TMS therapy, especially for patients who haven't responded to traditional antidepressant medications or other treatment.
