At Achieve TMS East we treat Major Depression and OCD with deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), and are committed to providing the best possible care to all our patients. Deep TMS utilizes a magnetic coil that is placed on the patient’s head. The coil produces a magnetic field that pulses directly to the brain where mood is regulated. The stimulation activates the neurons in the brain to open up neural pathways in the brain. Deep TMS produces results with fewer side effects than medication. We have locations across MA and CT and we are the largest dTMS provider in New England.
