TMS of Tennessee - Franklin Location
Located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109, Franklin, TN 37064, TMS of Tennessee is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy right here in our community. We understand that finding effective treatment for conditions like depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges requires a trusted, local resource committed to your well-being.
What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder. It uses focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. Unlike traditional treatments like medication or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS does not require surgery, anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery period. At our Franklin location, we utilize this advanced technology to offer a potentially effective solution for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression.
How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Work?
During a NeuroStar TMS session, our trained technicians will position a comfortable coil against your head. This device generates a gentle tapping sound and a brief magnetic pulse. These pulses travel through the skull and precisely target a specific region of the brain involved in mood control, known as the prefrontal cortex.
Patients typically remain awake and alert throughout the entire session, which lasts about 20-40 minutes. There is no sedation involved, and most describe the sensation as a mild tapping or tapping sensation on the scalp. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and many patients report feeling more relaxed during their sessions.
Over a series of sessions, typically held five days a week for up to four weeks, the targeted stimulation helps promote neural activity in areas that may have become underactive, potentially leading to sustained improvements in mood and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about TMS of Tennessee Franklin
Q1: What is the difference between TMS and ECT?
A: Both TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) are used to treat depression, but they are significantly different procedures. ECT requires anesthesia, induces a brief seizure, and has a longer recovery period. TMS, like the NeuroStar therapy we provide at our Franklin location, is non-invasive, does not require anesthesia, does not cause seizures, and allows patients to drive themselves to and from appointments. TMS is often considered for those who have not responded well to medication or prefer a non-pharmacological option.
Q2: Is TMS therapy FDA-approved?
A: Yes, the specific NeuroStar TMS Therapy device and protocol used at TMS of Tennessee Franklin are FDA-approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder. This approval signifies that the device has met rigorous safety and efficacy standards.
Q3: How long does a typical TMS session take?
A: A standard NeuroStar TMS treatment session at our Franklin clinic typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes. This includes a brief setup period at the beginning and a short questionnaire. Many patients find they can easily fit a single session into their daily routine after work or on their day off.
Q4: Do I need a referral to start TMS therapy at TMS of Tennessee?
A: While a referral is not strictly mandatory to begin treatment at our Franklin location, we often find that an initial screening call or consultation helps determine if TMS is appropriate for you. We can discuss your medical history and symptoms over the phone. However, for some insurance coverage considerations, a referral from your primary care physician or psychiatrist might be necessary.
