Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

rTMS utilizes electromagnetic waves to directly stimulate neuron pools within the brain, upregulating targeted lobes and increasing neuronal activity. rTMS is a non-invasive method of brain stimulation that relies on electromagnetic induction using an insulated coil placed over the scalp, focused on the area(s) of the brain affected by the brain injury, stroke, or condition. The coil generates brief magnetic pulses, which pass easily and painlessly through the skull and into the brain. When these pulses are administered in rapid succession, it is referred to as “repetitive TMS “ or “rTMS”, which can produce longer lasting changes in brain activity. Due to the increased frequency with which the electromagnetic pulses are administered, our rTMS treatment lasts only 7 minutes instead of 45 minutes.

Here at Revive, we are proud to be able to provide intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS), the latest in advancements in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which is FDA approved for depression and OCD, and has proven to be beneficial for anxiety, Parkinson’s, and many other diseases and disorders. Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) is a revolutionary form of brain stimulation that more closely mimics the natural rhythms of activity in the neurons of the brain. Theta Bursts are short bursts of stimulation at high frequencies, with the bursts themselves being applied 5 times per second.
