According to the National Institute of Mental Health, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is defined as a common chronic and long-lasting disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and/or behaviors (compulsions) that he/she feels the urge to repeat over and over.
While anyone may experience these repetitive compulsions, OCD is characterized by negatively affecting your life and is diagnosed by a doctor. If you have undergone treatment for OCD unsuccessfully, you may be a good candidate for TMS.
Obsessions typically follow a theme. Some of the most common include:
Your compulsions tend to follow the theme of your obsessions. You may repeatedly wash your hands to eliminate germs, frequently reorganize items on a shelf (even though they’re already in perfect order), or constantly check to be sure the door is locked.

Some insurance providers will cover the cost of OCD treatment, though most will not. Contact our office to learn what options you have.
TMS has been shown to significantly reduce intrusive thoughts, ruminations, and compulsive behaviors. We target specific areas in the brain involved in the OCD circuit to reduce the symptoms experienced by those with OCD.
TMS was FDA-approved for OCD in 2018, making it a scientifically backed option for treatment-resistant cases.
TMS works by using magnetic impulses to either inhibit overactive areas of the brain or excite underactive areas of the brain. The energy that is emitted stimulates neurons in the brain and can aid in relieving symptoms related to mood, energy, and cognitive function.
Many patients experience no side effects while undergoing TMS. Some patients report having a headache the first few days, which can go away with over-the-counter NSAIDs.
Sessions relatively quick, with many lasting up to about 30 minutes, including set-up and stimulation. Staff will place a tracker on your face, and a coil on your head. You will feel mild to moderate taps on your head that have been described as a "woodpecker" sensation. Our staff aims to be punctual and efficient with your treatment as we know many of our patients can have busy lives.
Every patient is different. Some feel better right away, and some feel better after a few weeks. Your provider/technician will talk more with you about all of the normal reactions.
Each insurance company has different acceptance criteria, so please contact our offices so that we can run eligibility and benefits to tell you exactly what your financial obligation would be assuming you qualify for treatment. In the event you would not qualify for insurance, we can help you with either a payment plan or work with a third party called CareCredit with offers interest free payment plans.
