Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation NJ: A Proven Alternative to Antidepressants

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition that hasn’t improved with medication or therapy? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that helps activate underactive areas of the brain without the side effects of medication. At HWS Center, we offer personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in NJ to help individuals achieve long-term relief from symptoms and regain control over their lives.

What Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation NJ (TMS) is a scientifically proven treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It’s commonly used for treatment-resistant depression, but it is also showing success in helping individuals with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and more.

TMS therapy is completely non-invasive. It involves placing a magnetic coil against the scalp to send precise pulses to targeted regions of the brain involved in mood regulation, especially the prefrontal cortex. There’s no need for sedation, anesthesia, or recovery time, and patients can resume normal activities immediately after each session.

How TMS Therapy Works

During each session, patients are seated comfortably while a trained technician administers the magnetic pulses through a specialized coil. These pulses help “reactivate” areas of the brain that are typically underactive in individuals with depression and related disorders.

 

Each session lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. A typical course of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in NJ includes five sessions per week for six to eight weeks, although individual treatment plans may vary. Because it’s non-invasive and medication-free, most patients experience little to no side effects—usually just mild scalp discomfort at the start of treatment.

POSSIBLE TMS SIDE EFFECTS

Most patients are fully at ease during TMS Therapy sessions, experience little to no side effects. Some report a slight tapping sensation when starting TMS, but many claim it fades as they become accustomed to the treatments. Other side effects may include mild headaches, tingling, or mild scalp or neck pain. 

 

While TMS Therapy is considered safe and fully backed by scientific evidence, a few people should not participate in TMS:

 

  • People with metal objects in the head, such as stents, clips, shrapnel, plates, or implants (braces and dental fillings are fine)
  • People with epilepsy or a history of seizures.
  • People living with a medical condition that increases one’s risk of seizures.

 

Always consult with your care team when beginning a new treatment.
