Staff is friendly, understanding and patient. Procedure is uncomfortable but not painful. Worth the time and commitment.

Effective therapy after years of suffering and multiple, unsuccessful medication trials. And, you could not ask for a more compassionate or skilled staff. If you feel like you've tried it all, please consider TMS here and reach out to them.

I have struggled with depression for well over a decade, and TMS made such a change in me, I hardly know what to do with myself. It's incredible. The techs are wonderful to work with, and I had truly phenomenal results.

Questions & Answers

Is this like other magnet related therapies for other illnesses?

William Houlette | Oct 12, 2019
TMS Center of the Lehigh Valley | Oct 12, 2019

No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of the magnetic fields used in magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. These products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells.

How does the therapy work?

TMS Center of the Lehigh Valley | Oct 12, 2019

The system uses short pulses of magnetic fields to stimulate the area of the brain that is thought to function abnormally in patients with depression. The magnetic field produces an electric current in the brain that stimulates the brain cells (neurons). This results in changes that are thought to be beneficial in the treatment of depression.

Can this affect my memory?

No, the NeuroStar TMS Therapy system was systematically evaluated for its effects on memory. Clinical trials demonstrated that NeuroStar TMS Therapy does not result in any negative effects on memory or concentration.

How long do the effects of treatment last?

William Houlette | Oct 12, 2019
Matthew Strunk | Oct 12, 2019

NeuroStar TMS is the only TMS system with the durability of its effects established over 12 months. In a clinical trial, 2 out of 3 patients who had either responded to treatment or completely remitted their depression symptoms reported 12 months later that they remained at the level they were at the end of the trial. Additionally, after the trial, only 1 in 3 patients needed to return for ‘maintenance’ TMS sessions.

what does TMS stand for ?
