Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS™), is a noninvasive treatment process that directly stimulates brain structures associated with mental health conditions. This is done utilizing electromagnetic fields generated by our patented H-coil to safely reach deeper brain structures and influence their neural activity.
Deep TMS™ can help individuals struggling with depression, OCD, and other mental health conditions. If traditional treatments like medication or therapy haven’t provided the relief you need, Deep TMS therapy could be the solution you’re looking for.
