TMS of the Carolinas Charlotte Center
Welcome to TMS of the Carolinas, Charlotte, located at 6135 Park S Dr Suite 510, Charlotte, NC 28210. We are Charlotte's dedicated clinical center specializing in NeuroStar® transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy. Our mission is to provide effective, non-invasive treatment options for individuals seeking relief from depression and other qualifying conditions within our Charlotte location.
What is NeuroStar® TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar® TMS is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment for depression. It is designed for adults experiencing symptoms of depression that have not responded adequately to previous treatments, including medication. Our Charlotte center utilizes this cutting-edge technology to offer a safe and effective alternative or complement to traditional therapies.
How Does NeuroStar® TMS Work?
During a NeuroStar® TMS session, our trained technicians will position a gentle electromagnetic device near your head. This device uses magnetic pulses to target specific areas of your brain involved in mood regulation. Unlike ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), TMS does not require anesthesia or involve any electrical current passing through the skull. The treatment is completely painless, and most patients report only a mild tapping sensation or no sensation at all during the procedure. Typically, sessions last about 20-40 minutes and are performed on an outpatient basis.
