We are pleased to say that NeuroStar TMS therapy is both safe and effective in treating your mental health condition, such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Clinical research shows minor side effects such as discomfort at the treatment site. Compared to antidepressants and other medications, NeuroStar TMS is a safe option. There’s no need for sedation or anesthesia. This FDA-cleared treatment is trusted by doctors because of its safety when delivered by trained professionals—like the TMS technicians at our practice.
At Genesis TMS and Wellness, we aim to get you started on treatment as quickly as possible—so you don’t have to wait to experience relief.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is a safe and well-researched mental health treatment, backed by extensive clinical studies and research and development. Some patients experienced mild, temporary discomfort, but these were easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
A wealth of robust clinical evidence supports the safety of NeuroStar for conditions like depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression with comorbid anxiety, as long as it is administered properly, as intended, by trained medical professionals. At Genesis TMS and Wellness, our skilled team—including our expert TMS technicians—ensures your comfort throughout the process. For most patients, the experience is well-tolerated.
For some patients, TMS therapy can be a better alternative to medications and traditional therapy. Unlike antidepressant medications, which often come with side effects like weight gain, fatigue, eating or sleeping disruptions, or sexual dysfunction, NeuroStar has not been shown to produce the side effects of medication,
While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other forms of therapy can be very helpful for our patients, it often takes time to show results and requires regular sessions. NeuroStar, however, could provide noticeable improvements after just a few weeks, with quick sessions lasting as short as 20 minutes.
What makes NeuroStar particularly safe is its non-invasive nature. As there is no surgery required, there are no incisions, anesthesia or sedation, or recovery time needed. Plus, NeuroStar TMS therapy is FDA-cleared, so you can trust that it’s safe when administered by a trained professional.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS is considered to be a very safe treatment option for patients seeking relief from their mental health symptoms. NeuroStar is endorsed by clinical specialists. It is FDA-cleared, non-surgical, and is unlikely to cause adverse side effects commonly seen with medication.
