Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tampa TMS Services
1. What is TMS therapy and how is it performed at your South Tampa location?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. At our clinic at 3333 W Kennedy Blvd #106, the treatment is administered while you are awake and alert, seated comfortably in a chair. A magnetic coil is gently placed against your scalp, delivering brief pulses to the prefrontal cortex. The process is outpatient, meaning you can drive yourself to and from your appointments at our Tampa office.
2. Who is an ideal candidate for TMS treatment at your wellness center?
An ideal candidate is an adult who has been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and has not experienced satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication. Dr. Melissa Fickey conducts a thorough evaluation at our Tampa clinic to determine if TMS is a suitable and safe treatment option based on your specific mental health history and needs.
