What is rTMS?
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation.
Treatment sessions:
- Typically 20–40 minutes
- No anesthesia required
- Resume normal activities afterward
- Well tolerated by most patients
Unlike medication, rTMS works by directly targeting specific brain regions rather than affecting the entire body.
Safety & Medical Evaluation
rTMS is not appropriate for everyone. Certain implanted medical devices or neurological conditions may affect eligibility.
Before beginning treatment, a physician conducts a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine whether rTMS is appropriate.
If you have questions about eligibility, our team is available to help you better understand your options.
