Frequently Asked Questions

At TMS Florida, we know how important it is to understand every aspect of your treatment. Below are some frequently asked questions about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. If you have more questions or would like to explore how TMS can help you, please reach out to our team today.

1. How does Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) work?

TMS therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that are underactive in individuals with mood disorders like depression and anxiety. The magnetic pulses help “retrain” the brain’s neural pathways, promoting healthier brain activity and reducing symptoms of mental health conditions. TMS is a non-invasive procedure, meaning no surgery or anesthesia is required, and patients can return to their normal daily activities after each session. If you’re curious about how TMS could work for you, we encourage you to contact TMS Florida for a consultation.

2. What is the process for TMS treatment?

The TMS treatment process at TMS Florida begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced medical team. Once we determine that TMS therapy is right for you, you’ll start a series of treatments that typically last 20-40 minutes each, five days a week, for several weeks. During each session, you’ll be comfortably seated while the TMS device delivers magnetic pulses to targeted areas of your brain. This process is painless, and you can resume your usual activities immediately after each session. Reach out to TMS Florida today to learn more about starting your TMS therapy journey.

3. Will my insurance cover TMS treatment?

Many insurance providers do cover TMS therapy, but it varies depending on your policy and individual circumstances. At TMS Florida, we work closely with insurance companies to help you navigate coverage options and ensure you receive the care you need. We also offer a free consultation to help determine if TMS therapy is the right option for you and to discuss insurance coverage and financial options.

5. Is TMS therapy safe and effective?

Yes, TMS therapy is both safe and effective. It is FDA-approved and has been widely used to treat mental health conditions since 2008. Studies have shown that TMS therapy is highly effective, particularly for individuals who have not responded to traditional medications or therapies. Common side effects, such as mild headaches or scalp discomfort, are typically temporary and diminish as treatment progresses. If you’d like to know more about how safe and effective TMS therapy can be for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at TMS Florida.

6. What is the success rate of TMS therapy?

TMS therapy has shown a high success rate, particularly for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Studies indicate that around 70% of patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms, and 30-40% achieve full remission. At TMS Florida, we are committed to helping our patients find lasting relief through customized TMS treatment plans.
