How to Get Started With NeuroStar's Advanced TMS Therapy
We offer outpatient NeuroStar TMS treatment with non-invasive treatment sessions spanning over a few weeks after insurance approval. The duration of each treatment session varies based on individual needs and response to treatment.
Step 1:
Initial Evaluation
We begin by evaluating the patient's needs and develop a personalized treatment plan that involves gathering information about the patient's medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments while conducting a psychological evaluation.
Step 2:
Insurance Authorization
Before beginning TMS treatment, it is important that we determine if the patient's insurance will cover the cost of the treatment. Our mental health professional will work with the patient to obtain the necessary authorization and ensure that all insurance requirements are met.
Step 3:
Brain Mapping
Brain mapping is a crucial step in the TMS treatment process, as it helps to determine the specific areas of the brain that need to be targeted for optimal results. This step involves using non-invasive imaging techniques to map the patient's brain and determine the best location for the TMS coils.
Step 4:
TMS Treatment Sessions
The final step is to implement the TMS treatment. This treatment lasts rougly 7 weeks. During each session, the patient will sit comfortably while a TMS machine delivers brief magnetic pulses to the targeted areas of the brain. The entire process is non-invasive and typically less than 20 minutes.
Step 5:
Relief From Depression
Finally, experience the relief of overcoming depression as TMS therapy stimulates nerve cells in the brain to improve mood regulation.
