What are the types of TMS Treatments you focus on?

At Palmier TMS & Behavioral Health in Missouri, we offer a range of TMS – or transcranial magnetic stimulation – treatments that are designed to help clients who suffer from a variety of mental health concerns. TMS treatments are non-invasive procedures that employ magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain. However, TMS should not be confused with ECT – or electroconvulsive therapy – which requires anesthesia and is a considerably more involved process that’s reserved for more serious conditions.

TMS treatments are FDA-approved and can be used to effectively treat many different conditions, including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TMS Post-Concussion Treatment

Concussions are common injuries in many kinds of accidents, including traffic and slip and fall accidents, and they’re as dangerous as they can be painful. Concussions can also lead to post-concussion syndrome, which goes well beyond mere headaches. TMS treatment offers a promising alternative treatment protocol, which is often used in conjunction with traditional medical treatments, can accelerate recovery, and offers excellent results without side effects.

TMS Depression Treatment

Depression refers to prolonged bouts of sadness or apathy that are the result of changes in brain chemistry and affect both mind and body. TMS can speed up the treatment process and can reduce symptoms in many forms of depression, including the following:

• Dysthymia or persistent depressive disorder
• Postpartum depression
• Seasonal affective disorder
• Psychotic depression

TMS Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety refers to a condition that includes intense and persistent feelings of fear and dread that are often accompanied by excessive worry, and that can interfere with daily living. TMS treatment can improve the success rate of more traditional therapies.

TMS Bipolar Therapy

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition featuring serious changes in mood that are accompanied by shifts in levels of activity and energy, and that can impact one’s ability to enjoy life. TMS treatment can bolster the effects of medication for treating the depressive phase of this disorder.

TMS Obsessive-Compulsive Therapy

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves intrusive thoughts that prompt repetitive behaviors that sufferers have difficulty controlling and that go well beyond mere habits or rituals. TMS Treatments can improve the quality of patients’ day-to-day lives and work well with traditional treatment protocols.

TMS Mood Disorder Therapy

When moods begin to modulate behaviors and affect emotional balance, they can lead to depressive symptoms and are classified as disorders that interfere with daily living. TMS treatments are FDA-approved for depression and related mood disorders and offer a safe alternative or addition to traditional therapy and medication.

TMS Autism Spectrum Therapy

The autism spectrum is an umbrella that covers a wide range of patient experiences and symptoms, which affect how individuals learn, communicate, and act. There is widespread support in the scientific community for the potential benefits of TMS for those on the autism spectrum.

TMS Treatment Benefit Many Who Suffer from Mental Health Conditions

TMS offers non-invasive treatments with very few – if any – side effects for those experiencing mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression. It’s not only painless but is also FDA-approved, and in many situations, TMS works well when combined with more traditional medical approaches.
