Our clinic has the BrainsWay Deep TMS machines ensuring our patients the widest range of FDA approved TMS treatments in the region. Our focus is the utilization of the most effective TMS technology in psychiatric medicine for depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Deep TMS works by delivering a series of repetitive, brief and highly focused magnetic pulses, used to stimulate specific neural networks in the brain associated with the condition being treated. This stimulation and strengthening these neural pathways helps restore more balanced brain activity.
