Non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for depression that hasn’t responded to medication.
At Pacific Pain & Wellness Group, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a safe, effective treatment option for adults struggling with treatment-resistant depression. If you’ve tried antidepressants or talk therapy without success, TMS could be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.
What Is TMS and How Does It Work?
TMS is an FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. These magnetic pulses trigger electrical activity in nerve cells, encouraging the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—chemicals often depleted in people with depression.
Over time, repeated stimulation helps reset brain circuitry, reducing symptoms of depression and improving mental clarity and emotional well-being.
What to Expect During TMS Treatment
- Session Time: Less than 30 minutes
- Frequency: 4–5 sessions per week
- Duration: 6–8 weeks total (approximately 36 sessions)
During each session, patients sit comfortably while a magnetic coil is positioned over the scalp. Most patients remain awake and alert, and can return to normal activities immediately afterward. TMS does not require anesthesia, and side effects are typically mild—such as light scalp discomfort or headache.
Is TMS Right for You?
You may be a candidate for TMS therapy if:
- You’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
- Antidepressants or other treatments haven’t provided relief
- You’re seeking a non-drug alternative for depression
Clinical research shows that over 60% of patients experience a significant improvement in symptoms, and approximately 1 in 3 achieve full remission after a full course of TMS.
