Providing Safe and Effective NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy
Providing Safe and Effective NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy
At Mid Florida TMS Centers, we are proud to provide NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a revolutionary new FDA cleared treatment for Depression in adults. TMS is clinically proven to improve the symptoms of depression that did not respond to prior antidepressant treatments and does not cause any of the side effects commonly associated with antidepressant medications. NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy is a safe, effective option for those who have not responded to or are intolerant of antidepressant medications or just prefer a non-pharmacologic approach to treating their depression.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, effective, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate neural networks in the brain. The treatment is proven to improve the symptoms of depression without the risk of long-term side effects, unlike many anti-depressant medications.

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS is The Right Choice
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
