A Personalize Treatment Strategy Made Just For You
First, you’ll meet with our TMS Coordinator who will review your goals and your personal history along with what TMS therapy can and can not do for you.
We will also review payment options including standard insurance criteria for insurance coverage and our self-pay options.
Next, you will meet with a North Idaho TMS & Brain Center provider for an evaluation which includes questions about your history and symptoms.
If the provider has determined that you are a candidate for TMS therapy, and you are ready to move forward with treatment, a personalized treatment plan will be developed for you.
During this appointment, we will identify the correct coil positioning and magnet strength for you to ensure we effectively administer your individual treatment.
This is a very important component to the overall effectiveness of treatment. Therefore, the visit may last up to 90 minutes. But don’t worry you can just sit back, relax in a spa-like environment, and let our skilled experts do the rest.
During treatment, you’ll relax in a spa-like environment and remain awake as the NeuroStar TMS device delivers magnetic pulses to the specific areas of your brain that regulate mood.
After treatment and with your healing process well underway, you can return to your normal daily activities WITHOUT any downtime.

THE side effects
TMS is NOT a drug, is NOT “shock” therapy, and is NOT surgery. And it doesn’t have any of the side effects associated with traditional antidepressants.
There is no sedation, anesthesia, or recovery time and for most people the NeuroStar TMS treatment is relaxing.
The most common side effect is mild- moderate scalp discomfort.
