TMS: Safe, Effective And Innovative Treatment
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an effective, safe and drug-free alternative treatment for depression and many other conditions such as anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Tinnitus.
TMS has been used to treat thousands of individuals worldwide and in 2021 Medicare approved funding in Australia. It has been researched for over 30 years and has shown long lasting benefits with no long term side effects.
TMS therapy targets the area of the brain that is responsible for mood control and helps improve the brain’s ability to regulate mood. TMS is particularly effective for people who have experienced limited success with common treatments including medications and psychological therapy.
At TMS Gold Coast, we utilise cutting edge technology and highly trained and experienced clinicians to deliver high quality TMS therapy to our patients. We aim to give our patients an opportunity to reach full and holistic recovery which may include a life free from depression.
