Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Total Veteran Healthcare can provide Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment option for a range of neurological and mental health conditions, where clinically appropriate.
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.
TMS therapy at Total Veteran Healthcare, as part of a coordinated approach to your mental health care, is available onsite, where clinically appropriate.
TMS can be used as an alternative to traditional pharmacotherapy, such as anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, or as a complementary therapy, under guidance and consultation of your clinical team.
Benefits of TMS treatment can include:
- Non-invasive
- Drug-free
- Improved mood
