TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION (TMS)
TMS has been FDA approved as a safe and effective treatment for Major Depression, Anxious Depression, Depressive Bipolar Disorder, OCD and PTSD even when multiple medications failed.
​
Check with your psychiatry provider to confirm if TMS is right for you for the above conditions.
​
TMS has also shown significant benefit for refractory insomnia, chronic pain, seizures and dementia and awaiting FDA approval for insurance coverage. Research is ongoing for tremors as well. We currently offer discounted self pay option.
We offer FREE comprehensive neurological exams before and after TMS treatment course to ensure maximum safety.
In case of very rare neurological side effects that may occur, neurologists are best trained to manage them.

What is TMS?
TMS is a safe, effective non-drug treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses, similar in strength to an MRI, to revitalize connections in carefully selected focused area of the brain. When these connections are reawakened, many people experience measurable relief from their conditions.
Does it work?
In a study of “real-world” outcomes (meaning actual TMS patients), 83% of people who completed the full TMS treatment cycle experienced a measurable decrease in the severity of their depression, and 62% of those completing treatment saw full remission – meaning their depression effectively “went away.”*
*Sackeim HA, et al. (2020) J. Affect. Disord. 277:65-74. Based on a real-world, retrospective study using CGI-S and a sample size of 615 patients.
Does it Hurt?
While there may be some minor discomfort at the treatment site (where the device touches your head), it generally subsides within the first week of treatment. There is no sedation, or impact on your alertness. You can read, watch TV, or talk with your treatment coordinator during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.
Does Insurance cover Treatment?
Over 300 million people have insurance plans that cover TMS, including Medicare and Tricare. Conditions and coverage can vary by insurance company, and your TMS Team Lead will help you determine your benefits and coverage.

Patient Testimonies
"Can't say enough good things about Alliance Neurology and their TMS treatment. Ryan was great in dealing with my insurance (the VA) and getting things approved to move forward. Did the full 7-week treatment and had great results with no negative side-effects. I've been sleeping much better, feel more optimistic and clear-headed and just happier overall-and it's been several months since my initial treatment. Definitely a great alternative to traditional treatment without medication!"
