Philadephia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/31/2016 -- What if there was a way to cure depression without antidepressants? With Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy, there might be. The treatment is a procedure that is noninvasive and entails the use of focused MRI-based magnetic fields to stimulate the brain's nerve cells as an alternative to improving the symptoms of depression. The Tao Institute of Modern Wellness – the integrative medicine healthcare center located in multiple cities across the Tristate area – treats patients with depression using a tailored approach that involves TMS Therapy. The facility is one of the first clinics in the South Jersey region to offer the treatment, which uses the Neurostar TMS Therapy System.
The tailored depression treatment program at the Tao Institute of Modern Wellness is customized based on the patient's needs and may include services such as acupuncture, medication management, nutritional counseling, meditation, and TMS Therapy at their centers in South Jersey and the surrounding counties. In many cases, patients will undergo TMS Therapy along with taking their antidepressant medication. However, in an announcement released by Neuronetics, Inc., it was noted that a recent study published by Brain Stimulation showed TMS Therapy could treat depression effectively without antidepressants.
The study was a 12-month duration of FDA-approved TMS Therapy given to patients who were not taking antidepressants, and about one-third of them benefitted from the treatment without the need for medicine. The findings presented that TMS Therapy, as part of a sequential approach, could be a designated treatment for depression as opposed to pharmaceuticals, which could be assigned only as a last resort. The Tao Institute of Modern Wellness has been successful in treating their patients for depression with their personalized program.
One of their patients, Rachel, explained her experience as a positive outcome: "Medication to help ease the anxiety and depression had made me feel terribly worse. TMS was my last hope and all the people at Tao made me feel very comfortable during my treatment. I've made almost a full recovery and am beyond pleased with the care I have received."
The Tao Institute of Modern Wellness operates their programs geared towards treating depression with a skilled team of practitioners including health coaches, herbalists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and psychiatrists. Individuals looking to fight depression using a natural and holistic approach can schedule a consultation for TMS Therapy at their location in Cherry Hill, NJ, or at one of their centers located throughout the Tristate province.
