How does rTMS work?
rTMS stimulates the brain and promotes ‘neuroplasticity.’ This is the brain’s ability to mend and build connections between nerve cells.
For depression, we stimulate the left side of the prefrontal cortex to help restore connections which are not working.
For anxiety, we may stimulate the right side of the brain with a slower type of stimulation to reduce its activity.
