The Acuity Difference
At Acuity TMS, we work with each patient individually at our brain health center to provide treatment that works best for their specific needs. Our team is dedicated to creating individualized treatment plans that are based on their specific symptoms, experiences, and goals. Through our treatment plans, our patients can receive treatments that can significantly improve their brain health but aren’t available at many clinics.
TMS Therapy
Approximately 60% to 74% of people with depression experience a clinically meaningful response with TMS. About one-third (1/3) of these individuals experience a full remission, meaning that their symptoms go away completely.
How it Works
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses—similar to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine—to awaken parts of the brain that are underactive in depressed people.
How Safe is TMS
TMS is an exceedingly safe procedure. The most common side effect is mild headaches. A consultation to ensure optimal medical safety is conducted by our Psychiatrists of medical doctors for each patient.
Understanding Depression
Every connection matters. Depression occurs when your brain’s vital areas become inactive. TMS reconnects neural pathways in specific networks within the brain. More importantly, it reconnects you to your life.
