Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy
Our TMS Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression and PTSD. It uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain, improving mood and alleviating symptoms of mental health conditions.
Effective Treatment for Depression and PTSD
TMS Therapy is particularly beneficial for Olympia residents who haven’t found success with traditional treatments like medications or talk therapy. By directly targeting the brain’s mood-regulating areas, TMS offers a more focused and effective approach to treating these conditions.
This treatment is especially valuable for those who have struggled for years to find relief, providing a new avenue for improving mental health. TMS has been shown to help patients experience significant improvements, even when other methods have fallen short.
Non-Invasive with Minimal Side Effects
Unlike medications that can cause a range of side effects throughout the body, TMS is a localized and non-invasive treatment. It requires no surgery, no anesthesia, and no recovery time, allowing you to continue your daily activities without interruption.
This makes TMS a safer and more comfortable option for many Olympia residents. Patients appreciate that they can receive treatment without the downtime or risks associated with more invasive procedures.
Administered by Experienced Professionals
Our TMS treatments are provided by a team of highly trained clinicians, all under the expert guidance of Dr. David Penner. With a strong commitment to patient-centered care, our team ensures you receive the highest standard of treatment.
