TMS of the Carolinas, located at 6135 Park S Dr Suite 510, Charlotte, NC 28210, is dedicated to providing advanced, effective treatment for individuals seeking relief from depression and other neurological conditions using the FDA-approved NeuroStar® transcranial magnetic stimulation. Our clinical center in Charlotte focuses on delivering personalized care within a state-of-the-art facility, utilizing cutting-edge technology to target specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation and cognitive function.
What is NeuroStar® TMS?
NeuroStar® TMS is a non-invasive treatment option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, which require daily pills and can have systemic side effects, TMS therapy uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex, the area often underactive in depression. At our Charlotte center, we utilize the NeuroStar® system, known for its precision and comfort, to deliver targeted treatment sessions.
How Does TMS Therapy Work at TMS of the Carolinas?
During a typical TMS session at our Charlotte location, you will be comfortably seated in a reclining chair. The NeuroStar® device will be positioned near your head, and a highly trained technologist will administer gentle magnetic pulses. These pulses generate a magnetic field that safely passes through the skull to reach specific brain regions. You may hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your scalp during the treatment, but most patients report minimal discomfort. Sessions usually last between 20 to 40 minutes and are typically well-tolerated, allowing many patients to return to their daily activities immediately afterward.
