Description: TMS is a painless and effective clinical treatment which has truly revolutionised the way we treat mental and physical symptoms and disorders.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS is a painless and effective clinical treatment whereby the activity in the brain can be influenced painlessly and non-invasively by means of fluctuating magnetic fields. Short and harmless magnetic pulses emitted from a magnet gently placed over the head reach part of the brain, passing unhindered through the scalp and skull bone. These magnetic waves are just like those used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans.
In TMS, precise and focused magnetic pulses neuromodulate (i.e. inhibit or facilitate) nerve activity in specific targeted brain areas. This process occurs through the natural physics principal called electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic Induction was discovered by Physicist Michael Faraday in London in 1831 and has several applications in our lives.
This evidence based treatment has truly revolutionised the way we treat mental and physical symptoms and disorders over the past decades. Thanks to TMS, thousands of grateful patients worldwide finally live well as they continue to successfully overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain, migraines, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and so much more.
