Neuromodulation is an innovative, evidence-based therapy that uses targeted electrical or magnetic stimulation to alter nerve activity and restore healthy brain function. It is most often used to help individuals whose symptoms haven’t responded to traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy.
At our practice, neuromodulation is part of a comprehensive care model, offering new hope for people struggling with conditions like treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ADHD, Tourette’s, Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, and more.
What Is Neuromodulation?
Neuromodulation involves stimulating the nervous system using devices that deliver electrical or magnetic impulses. These impulses help “reset” or modulate abnormal neural activity, improving communication between different parts of the brain and reducing symptoms.
While it’s not a cure, neuromodulation can significantly reduce symptom severity, enhance quality of life, and support long-term recovery. It is especially useful when conventional treatments fall short or pose risks due to side effects or long-term use.
Neuromodulation Therapies We Offer
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is FDA-approved for depression and OCD, and ongoing research supports its effectiveness for other mental health conditions.
eTNS (External Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation)
Designed for pediatric patients ages 7 to 12 with ADHD, this at-home device provides low-level electrical stimulation to the trigeminal nerve during sleep. It’s a drug-free, FDA-cleared option for reducing ADHD symptoms.
Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback)
This brain training technique uses real-time feedback from EEG sensors to teach self-regulation of brain activity. It is a noninvasive option used to improve focus, emotional control, sleep, and more.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS applies a constant, low electrical current to targeted brain areas. It is used as a stand-alone or adjunct treatment for depression, anxiety, and ADHD, especially for individuals who cannot tolerate medications.
Alpha-Stim
This FDA-cleared device offers relief from anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain through Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES). Alpha-Stim is noninvasive, portable, and clinically proven.
Who Can Benefit from Neuromodulation?
Neuromodulation may be recommended if:
You have a chronic mental health or neurological condition.
Your symptoms have not improved with traditional medications or therapy.
You are looking for a drug-free or complementary treatment option.
You are seeking relief from conditions like depression, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, or Tourette syndrome.
