In the next step of our process, we use a patented, scientific approach with the neurophysiological data gathered through testing to develop a highly customized treatment plan aimed at encouraging healthy brain communication and function. Your treatment plan may involve one or more treatment protocols depending on primary diagnosis and comorbidities involved. Regardless of the protocol, we will use your own brain frequency to personalize the treatment.

The third step of our process involves neuromodulation. In simple terms, we will use noninvasive magnetic waves directed at specific areas of the brain that are not communicating or connecting as they should, to gently stimulate or inhibit those regions.

With thorough diagnostics that isolate exactly what is happening in each patient’s brain, we develop your customized treatment plan. Our aim is to stimulate and “wake up” regions of the brain affected by a variety of neurological conditions and increase the connectivity and communication of neuropathways.

Whichever protocol you are receiving, a vast array of benefits, improvements, and, in many cases, miraculous achievements have been seen.

You will sit in a comfortable reclining chair while a trained technician carefully positions a simple device on your head. This device, called a coil, produces a magnetic field to induce mild magnetic currents in the targeted regions of the brain. Most patients describe the stimulation as a mild to moderate tapping sensation on the head.

A typical appointment is 30 minutes long from start to finish.

The neuromodulation equipment used has been cleared by the FDA in the treatment of depression and OCD and may be used off-label for other disorders in the practice of medicine.

We will perform additional testing after the first stages of treatment, allowing us to assess progress and make any needed modifications. In this way, we are always taking the best and most exacting approach, based on the current neurological state.

While most TMS centers will only ask you how you feel after you have completed your treatment, BrainStim strives to seek scientific evidence to show brain changes on top of patient-reported improvements. Once treatment has completed, BrainStim completes another round of diagnostics (MRI, qEEG, and psychometric testing), to compare with pre-treatment assessment to fully understand how the brain has changed following treatment. A final report outlining these changes in detail is shared with each patient. 

We recommend monitoring your brain health every six months with a routine electroencephalogram (EEG). This proactive step will allow our team of providers to make recommendations for any follow up treatments needed to maintain your optimal brain health.
