rTMS
rTMS stands for “repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.” It’s a treatment that uses magnets to help improve how your brain works. The procedure is non-invasive, meaning nothing goes inside your body.
The human brain is inherently an electrical organ that functions through the transmission of electrical signals between nerve cells. rTMS treatment works with your body’s natural processes by simply increasing the number and frequency of such transmissions. rTMS employs magnetic energy to stimulate an area of the brain that regulates mood.
How does it work?
A special machine sends gentle magnetic pulses to certain parts of your brain. These pulses can help “wake up” areas that may not be working as well as they should, like the parts that control mood, focus, or movement. It’s similar to giving your brain a little workout to help it feel better and function better.
Who is it for?
People sometimes use rTMS to help with depression, anxiety, or other nervous system issues when other treatments haven’t worked.
Why is it good for self-care?
It’s a safe and painless way to help your brain stay healthy without taking medications. Plus, it can improve your mood and overall well-being.
Taking care of your nervous system is important for feeling your best, and rTMS can be a part of that!
