TMS Therapy in Los Angeles

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Are you struggling with depression, OCD, or anxiety? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation may offer a new path to relief. At Ketamine Clinics LA, we offer cutting-edge TMS in Los Angeles.

TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses a magnetic field to stimulate specific areas of the brain to alleviate symptoms of various mental health conditions. TMS Therapy is not to be confused with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), commonly referred to as “shock therapy.”

Unlike ECT, TMS is drug-free, painless, and requires no downtime.

If you are looking for TMS therapy in Los Angeles we can help.

How Does TMS Work?

TMS Therapy utilizes a specialized coil placed directly above the patient’s head. This coil generates focused magnetic pulses that stimulate the neurons in the targeted brain region. This process is non-invasive, painless, highly localized, and doesn’t involve systemic side effects like medications. This can help rebalance brain activity and improve communication within these regions, leading to a reduction in symptoms.

A standard course of TMS Therapy consists of approximately 30 treatment sessions, five days per week, over 6 weeks, with each session lasting from 3-20 minutes. Relief typically begins within the first 10-15 days and success rates range from around 70-80%.

The Accelerated Protocol, sometimes referred to as the “Saint Protocol” or “Stanford Protocol,” consists of 10 treatment sessions per day, once per hour, over the course of five days, with each session lasting about 3 minutes. While not covered by insurance, it offers rapid relief and has a success rate of 70-85%.


TMS Therapy Near Me: Who is a Candidate?

If you’ve tried traditional treatments like medication or therapy without success, TMS therapy may be a viable option. Our team at Ketamine Clinics LA can help you determine if TMS is right for you.

TMS Therapy is an FDA-approved treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults. It has also shown promising results for conditions like:

  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • And more

At our TMS clinic, we assess your unique needs to determine if TMS Therapy is the right choice. We also work with insurance providers to help navigate coverage requirements.

As with any treatment, you may pay out of pocket in the event your insurance denies coverage for your care, or you wish to undergo an off-label protocol.
