TMS of Tennessee Franklin: Your Local Partner for Advanced NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Welcome to TMS of Tennessee Franklin, located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109 in Franklin, TN 37064. We are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, specifically NeuroStar TMS, right here in our community. Our mission is to offer effective, non-invasive treatment options for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other qualifying conditions, utilizing the latest advancements in mental healthcare technology.
Understanding NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. NeuroStar TMS Therapy, the leading branded TMS system, is FDA-approved for treating major depressive disorder in adults, including those who have not responded adequately to traditional antidepressant medications.
At our Franklin location, we utilize the NeuroStar system because it is designed with specific safety features and delivers precisely targeted magnetic pulses. The system includes an ECoG (electrocorticogram) sensor, which is a gentle, non-invasive sensor placed against the patient's scalp during the first session. This sensor helps the TMS device measure the patient's individual threshold for a magnetic pulse sensation, ensuring subsequent sessions are comfortable and effective.
Unlike older TMS systems, NeuroStar features a unique "HeliMag" coil designed to focus magnetic energy more precisely on the targeted areas of the brain, potentially leading to shorter treatment times and improved outcomes. The therapy is completely painless, does not require anesthesia, and has no known negative interactions with medications.

The TMS of Tennessee Franklin Treatment Process
Your journey with us begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We will conduct a thorough assessment of your depression symptoms, medical history, and previous treatment experiences. This evaluation helps us determine if you are a suitable candidate for NeuroStar TMS Therapy.
If you are cleared for treatment, our next step involves a personalized treatment plan. Using the ECoG sensor during your first session, we calibrate the NeuroStar device to your specific brain anatomy and sensitivity. This ensures the magnetic pulses are delivered precisely where they are needed for optimal results.
Actual TMS treatment sessions are typically scheduled daily, Monday through Friday, for about 4 to 6 weeks. Each session lasts approximately 20 to 40 minutes. During the session, you will sit comfortably in a chair wearing ear protection as the TMS device delivers focused magnetic pulses. Many patients find the sensation described as a tapping or clicking feeling on the scalp, which is generally well-tolerated.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after each TMS session, including work, school, or other responsibilities. There is no recovery period required. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your life while effectively addressing your depression.
