NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)

What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) is an advanced therapy which uses a targeted, pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The pulses, produced through a NeuroStar FDA approved device, are delivered directly to the specific area of the brain involved in depression. 

Dr. Fickey is a nationally recognized TMS provider and has been a speaker on Neurostar TMS at numerous national conferences. Dr. Fickey and her team have performed over 20,000 treatment sessions. Dr. Fickey has also helped not only adults struggling with depression, anxious depression and OCD but she has also helped numerous children and adolescents as well. She has presented in front of the FDA in an effort to have Neurostar TMS FDA-approved in the pediatric population so that it can be covered on insurance, making it more readily available to younger patients. However, currently it is offered to the pediatric population by Dr. Melissa Fickey who specializes in child psychiatry as well as treating adults. She has seen remarkable improvements in her child and adolescent patients. Dr. Fickey has also seen significant success in children with ASD in addition to depression and anxiety.

Embracing Life Wellness Center is proud to offer NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) at our offices in Riverview and Tampa, Florida. Dr. Fickey and her staff are excited to offer this profoundly effective treatment to the community and their patients.

TMS at Embracing Life

Embracing Life Wellness Center is proud to be a Diamond Provider for NeuroStar.

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in individuals with depressive symptoms during 19-minute treatment sessions. Unlike medications that are dispersed throughout the entire body, this is a targeted treatment for depression without the common side effects caused by medications.

After someone has failed two or more antidepressant medications, the chance of getting to remission is significantly low in comparison to the response and remission rates NeuroStar offers.

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) is not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and it is covered under insurance policies. Contact us today to set up a consultation to begin achieving full remission of your symptoms.
