TMS of the Carolinas is pleased to serve the residents of Raleigh from our dedicated center located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617. We specialize in providing advanced, non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, a cutting-edge treatment designed to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other specific conditions.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a breakthrough treatment for depression and other conditions. Using magnetic fields, TMS targets specific areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation, helping to restore balance without the need for surgery, anesthesia, or invasive procedures like ECT. At our Raleigh location, we utilize this FDA-approved technology to offer hope to patients who have not found sufficient relief with traditional antidepressant medications.
How TMS Therapy Works at TMS of the Carolinas (Raleigh)
Our TMS sessions are conducted in a comfortable, outpatient setting. Our trained technicians place a device near your head, which generates precisely measured magnetic pulses. These pulses gently stimulate nerve cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex, a region often underactive in individuals experiencing depression. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, and requires no downtime. At our Raleigh facility, our team ensures a personalized and comfortable experience for each patient.
Conditions Treated at Our Raleigh Center
