What Is NeuroStar?

NeuroStar TMS therapy has helped hundreds of thousands of people like yourself find relief from depression, OCD, and anxious depression, especially when other treatments have not worked. It can be life-changing, offering a chance for our patients to achieve a much better quality of life.

NeuroStar TMS is known for its safety and effectiveness in treating various mental health conditions. It is a top choice for many of our patients and can offer immense benefits like being non-surgical (so no scars or anesthesia) and free from major side effects of medications. However, it is not necessarily right for every person.

If you are evaluating whether TMS therapy is right for your needs, consider both the pros and cons before deciding. Our specialists can give you personalized advice with your best interests at heart to help you make an informed decision.

The Pros of NeuroStar TMS Therapy

The treatment is efficient, with sessions lasting as little as 20 minutes and a full course of treatment typically completed in under two months for most patients. Another pro of TMS therapy is there is no downtime or recovery time required, and it does not cause any kind of systemic side effects of medication—making it much safer than medication. Additionally, NeuroStar has been clinically proven to provide long-lasting results, with improvements that can persist for up to a year.

Potential Cons of NeuroStar TMS Therapy

  • Deep brain stimulators
  • Cochlear implants
  • Vagus nerve stimulators

These devices may interfere with the treatment. NeuroStar is also not recommended for children under the age of 15.
