Request an AppointmentWhat Is MagVenture TMS Therapy?
MagVenture TMS Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain associated with mood and emotional regulation. For individuals living with major depressive disorder (MDD), these regions may be underactive, contributing to persistent symptoms despite traditional treatment.
Unlike medications that circulate throughout the body, TMS Therapy works by directly stimulating specific brain pathways involved in depression. Treatment sessions are performed in our office, require no sedation, and allow patients to return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
How Does TMS Therapy Work?
During each treatment session, a specialized MagVenture device delivers carefully controlled magnetic pulses through a treatment coil positioned comfortably against the scalp. These magnetic pulses stimulate nerve cells within the brain’s mood-regulating networks, encouraging healthier communication between brain regions.
Most patients remain awake and relaxed throughout the procedure. Sessions typically last between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the treatment protocol prescribed by your provider.
A complete course of therapy generally consists of treatments several days per week over multiple weeks to achieve the best possible outcomes.

What to Expect During Treatment
Before beginning treatment, your provider will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized treatment plan.
During your first appointment, the treatment area is carefully mapped to ensure magnetic stimulation reaches the appropriate location in the brain. Once treatment begins, you’ll sit comfortably while the device delivers gentle magnetic pulses.
Many patients describe the sensation as a light tapping on the scalp during the session. Treatments require no recovery period, allowing you to drive yourself home, return to work, or continue your normal daily activities immediately afterward.
