Precisely Targeted Treatment
TMS uses advanced brain mapping to deliver magnetic pulses to the exact regions of the brain involved in mood regulation and symptom management. This precision allows our clinical team to tailor every session to your specific neurological needs.
Fits Into Your Daily Life
Each session lasts between 19 and 37 minutes and requires no recovery time. You remain fully awake and alert throughout, can drive yourself to and from appointments and return to normal activities immediately after every session.
Lasting Clinical Results
TMS Therapy is FDA-approved for depression, anxious depression and OCD. Many patients begin to notice meaningful improvements within the first few weeks of treatment, with results that can last 12 months or more.
NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to focus on specific areas of the brain that tend to be less active in people with depression. It is not ECT or electroconvulsive therapy.
While the exact cause of depression is still not fully known, the leading scientific theory is that it results from an imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that carry signals between brain cells.

Discovering NeuroStar and Her Husband’s Journey
Individuals in York may not be familiar with NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy. You may want answers to your questions before you decide to undergo treatment.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, often referred to as TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typi-cally used when antidepressant medications haven’t been effective, have ceased working, or as an alternative to medication.
TMS involves delivering magnetic pulses to specific parts of the brain.
A typical initial course of treatment is about 19-37 minutes daily over 4-6 weeks.
A vast majority of commercial and Medicare plans have recognized the effectiveness of treating de-pression with TMS Therapy and now cover TMS as part of their plans.
TMS does not circulate in the blood throughout the body, so it does not have side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, dry mouth, sedation, etc. The most common side effects reported during clinical trials were headache and scalp discomfort —generally mild to moderate—occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.
No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for a therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of an MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. Those products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells. The activation and stimulation of brain cells is a key part of why TMS is so effective.
