Pelorus Tms

We are a TMS provider (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) with locations in Raritan NJ (near the Somerville Circle) and Cedar Knolls NJ (near Rt 10 and Rt 287). TMS is a unique non-medication therapy for Depression. TMS therapy uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses that stimulate key areas of the brain, which are underactive in patients with Depression. Treatment is delivered right in the doctor’s office. Patients are awake during treatment, and can go about their normal activities immediately after treatment is completed. Some advantages of TMS include: -FDA-cleared and proven -Not medication-based -Non-sedating -Non-invasive -Safe -Well tolerated (fewer than 5% of patients discontinue treatment due to adverse effects) -Covered by all major insurance providers -In-office treatments take about 25 minutes, and are administered 5 days/week, for approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
