NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy Welcomes Tampa Bay Parents

What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?

NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy (TMS) is an advanced therapy, which uses a targeted, pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The pulses, produced through a NeuroStar FDA approved device, are delivered directly to the specific area of the brain involved in depression.

Embracing Life Wellness Center is proud to offer TMS at our offices in Riverview and Tampa, Florida. Dr. Fickey and her staff are excited to offer this profoundly effective treatment to the community and their patients.

TMS stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in individuals with depressive symptoms during 19-minute treatment sessions. Unlike medications that are dispersed throughout the entire body, this is a targeted treatment for depression without the common side effects caused by medications.
