Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Ascension St. Elizabeth’s campus now offers TMS. This noninvasive procedure uses repetitive magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to help with symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions. While these conditions are treatable, some methods aren’t for everyone. TMS is a therapy used when other methods of treatment have not been successful.

This treatment is conducted directly in your doctor’s office and allows you to return to your everyday activities after receiving treatment.
