Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Total Veteran Healthcare are proud to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment option for a range of neurological and mental health conditions.
TMS uses a magnetic coil to send targeted pulses to specific areas of the brain. These pulses stimulate nerve cells, regulating brain activity, helping to cultivate new neural pathways.
TMS therapy begins with a thorough evaluation of the individual’s medical history and the nature of their condition. Based on this information, our team build a personalised treatment plan for each patient.
Each TMS treatment typically lasts for 30-60 minutes. A complete course may include 35 sessions, spread over 4-6 weeks with maintenance as required, depending on your individual needs, with normal activities resumed post-treatment.
Discover the transformative potential of TMS therapy at Total Veteran Healthcare, as part of a coordinated approach to your mental health care.
TMS can be used as an alternative to traditional pharmacotherapy, such as anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, or as a complementary therapy.
