TMS of the Carolinas is proud 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 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a non-invasive treatment option designed to help individuals struggling with certain mental health conditions.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a cutting-edge therapeutic technology used primarily for the treatment of depression. During a TMS session, our specialized equipment generates a magnetic field that gently stimulates nerve cells in specific areas of the brain. This targeted stimulation can help restore balanced brain activity, leading to improved mood and overall well-being. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting substances that can cause side effects or interact with other medications.
