What is rTMS?

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

  • It does not require medication as treatment is painless.
  • It does not require sedation.
  • You remain awake and alert during treatment.

rTMS has been FDA-approved for Major Depressive Disorder since 2008 and has been used safely in clinical practice for years.

A Veteran’s Experience​

“The treatment completely changed my life for the better. I was finally able to sleep through the night without medication, and my nightmares became few and far between. My anxiety eased, I could focus again, and I started doing the things I used to enjoy, like going to the gym, cooking, and reading. My fiancé and family said it felt like they had their ‘old’ Sarah back.”
— Army Veteran
