Personalized TMS Treatment in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota
Living with depression that continues despite medication or therapy can feel discouraging. It does not mean that you are out of options. Deep TMS offers a different approach by using magnetic stimulation to influence brain activity associated with depression. It may be used alongside medication management and therapy as part of a broader mental health treatment plan. Our team will review your symptoms, diagnosis, previous treatments, health history and goals to determine whether Deep TMS may be an appropriate next step.
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or Deep TMS, is an FDA-cleared treatment that delivers magnetic pulses to areas of the brain associated with mood regulation.
During treatment, you remain awake and sit comfortably while wearing a padded helmet containing a specialized magnetic coil. Deep TMS does not require anesthesia or hospitalization, and most patients can return to their normal activities after each appointment.
Deep TMS may be considered for adults who:
Traditional TMS typically uses a smaller coil placed against one specific area of the head. Deep TMS builds on the same noninvasive approach but uses an advanced H-coil housed inside a cushioned helmet. This specialized design is made to reach broader and deeper brain networks involved in depression, allowing treatment to go beyond the more focused stimulation used by traditional TMS.
The cushioned helmet delivers magnetic pulses to targeted brain networks while you remain awake and comfortable.
Deep TMS is designed to engage a wider area of the brain than traditional figure-eight TMS coils.
Treatment does not require anesthesia or a recovery period. Sessions are typically about 20 minutes, and most patients can return to work, drive, or continue their normal activities afterward.

Many insurance plans provide coverage for TMS treatment for eligible patients with depression. Coverage depends on your plan, diagnosis, previous treatment history and prior-authorization requirements.
Insurance companies may require documentation of previous antidepressant medications, therapy or other treatments before approving care. Our team can help review your insurance information and explain the authorization process, but final coverage decisions are made by your insurance company.
Coverage for Deep TMS used specifically for OCD may be more limited and should be confirmed before treatment begins.
You do not need a referral to contact The Remedy and ask about Deep TMS. Your insurance plan may still require a referral, prior authorization or documentation of previous treatment.
In many cases, yes. Deep TMS may be provided alongside psychiatric medication and therapy. Do not stop or change medication without speaking with your prescribing provider.
You may feel tapping, pressure or muscle movement around the scalp or face during treatment. Some patients experience temporary headaches or scalp discomfort. Tell your treatment technician if you are uncomfortable so adjustments can be considered.
Deep TMS does not require sedation or anesthesia. Most patients can drive themselves and return to their normal activities after treatment.
TMS and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) are different treatments for depression. During TMS, you remain awake while magnetic pulses are delivered to specific areas of the brain. Anesthesia is not needed, and most people can return to their normal activities after treatment.
ECT is performed while you are asleep under anesthesia. It uses a small, controlled electrical current to create a brief, carefully monitored seizure as part of the treatment. Because ECT requires anesthesia, it involves more preparation and recovery time and is often considered for people with severe symptoms or when other treatments have not helped.
Our team can help you better understand TMS and whether it may be an appropriate option for your needs.
