TMS

At Balance Medical Center, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is one of our favorite brain-health tools: a noninvasive, medication-free therapy that uses gentle magnetic pulses at the scalp to nudge underactive mood and anxiety circuits back into healthy rhythms. TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder when medications haven’t helped, and large clinical experience supports its safety and effectiveness under trained supervision. It’s also FDA-cleared for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), using protocols that target prefrontal/cingulate networks involved in compulsivity. Beyond these cleared indications, research continues to expand—TMS shows growing evidence for anxiety spectrum symptoms and eating-related compulsivity (e.g., binge eating), and newer approaches are improving speed and precision of targeting deeper brain networks. At Balance Medical Care our machine is the most cutting edge on the market, Exomind by BTL. With this technology and the stronger magnets it has as compared to its predecessors, we are capable of making a difference in people's lives with just 6 sessions. Your visit feels simple: you’re awake, seated comfortably, and can return to your day afterward. We pair TMS with skills-based therapy and, when appropriate, medication—because remodeling circuits is even more powerful when your daily habits and supports reinforce the change.
