How Does NeuroStar Work?

Mental health disorders, including depression, anxious depression, and OCD, impact the well-being of your brain, especially in regions that regulate mood, emotion, and behavior. Patients with these conditions often experience lowered brain activity in vital areas, contributing to their symptoms.

NeuroStar aims to stimulate these regions of the brain with electromagnetic waves. This wakes up your brain and improves activity.

NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy is performed at our clinic by our fully licensed TMS technicians in regular sessions over a seven-week treatment course. The length of your session will depend on the nature of your treatment plan, but it can be as short as 19 minutes.

Several benefits to NeuroStar are worth highlighting, including the following:

  • Completely non-surgical, does not require anesthesia or sedation of any kind
  • You will be awake, alert, and comfortable throughout your treatment session
  • You can leave the clinic immediately after you are done and continue with the rest of your daily activities
  • Nationwide insurance coverage, including Medicare and Tricare.

This treatment is ideal for patients seeking an alternative to medication. Discover how NeuroStar TMS Therapy could work with a one-on-one consultation at Scott A. Fleischer M.D. P.C. & Associates in Fort Washington.
