TMS of the Carolinas Charlotte Center
Located at 6135 Park S Dr suite 510, Charlotte, NC 28210, TMS of the Carolinas Charlotte Center is dedicated to providing advanced, effective treatment for individuals seeking relief from depression and other qualifying conditions. We specialize in NeuroStar® transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive therapeutic option designed for those who may not have found complete success with traditional treatments like medication or psychotherapy.
NeuroStar TMS is an FDA-cleared procedure performed under the guidance of our experienced clinical team. Unlike medication, which affects the entire brain systemically, TMS precisely targets specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation using focused magnetic pulses. This targeted approach aims to stimulate nerve cells and promote the growth of new neural connections, potentially alleviating symptoms of depression without the side effects commonly associated with long-term pharmaceutical use.
At our Charlotte center, we understand that the journey to mental wellness requires personalized care. Our clinical professionals are committed to guiding you through every step of the TMS process, from initial consultation and assessment to treatment planning and ongoing support. We take the time to listen to your unique concerns and tailor the NeuroStar TMS protocol to address your specific needs.
The TMS procedure itself is comfortable and well-tolerated. During a session, you will sit comfortably while the NeuroStar TMS device gently delivers magnetic pulses to the targeted areas of your brain. You'll hear a clicking sound and may feel a tapping sensation on your scalp – sensations our team will explain thoroughly beforehand. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately following a TMS session, including work or school, making it a convenient option for managing treatment within your Charlotte schedule.
We are committed to transparency and patient education. Our Charlotte location provides a supportive, understanding environment where you can ask questions and learn about how NeuroStar TMS might be the right next step for your mental health journey. We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge to make informed decisions about their care.
