At Orion TMS, we create customized treatment plans based on your unique needs. We believe in providing comprehensive and innovative solutions to address a wide range of mental health challenges. That's why we are proud to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy as part of our specialized treatment options.
TMS Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment offering remarkable success in treating various mental health conditions for adults and adolescents. It is a form of brain stimulation therapy, utilizing electromagnetic pulses to activate nerve cells and potentially alleviate symptoms associated with neurological and mental health conditions.
TMS is a breakthrough treatment in the field of psychiatry. It has provided newfound hope for those struggling to find relief through conventional therapies. TMS may be right for you if conventional psychiatric medications are not helping, you experience impairing side effects from medications, or your daily life is disrupted by symptoms of a mental health condition.
TMS may not be suitable for you if you have implanted metallic devices or non-removable metallic objects around your head, implants controlled by physiological signals (like a pacemaker), epilepsy, a history of head injury, or other significant neurologic problems. Your safety is our top priority, and our team will help you explore alternative treatment options if needed.
Orion TMS specializes in TMS Therapy Treatment for the North Chicago suburbs.
Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) that employs an advanced stimulation pattern involving high-frequency bursts within the theta range. The theta wave plays a role in learning processes and memory creation that effectively guides the brain to relearn pathways that may have become inactive or overactive.
Due to this methodology, TBS sessions are significantly shorter (3 minutes) than standard TMS sessions (19 minutes), producing equal benefits with minimal risk of adverse side effects. These shorter sessions are an excellent fit for individuals wanting efficient treatment without compromising results (or their busy schedules).

Using state-of-the-art technology and evidence-based approaches, the team at Orion TMS is committed to helping you embark on a journey towards improved mental well-being. While TMS is FDA-approved for depression and OCD, research shows impressive results in treating several other conditions off-label. Take the first step towards a brighter future today.

Approximately one in five people are afflicted with OCD. Genetics have been implicated in its causation, although a communication break down between brain regions responsible for decision making and emotion control (particularly the frontal lobe), as well as other factors, has also been discovered. TMS may help to cure the distressing symptoms of OCD.
—
TMS therapy was approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression in 2008. It is also used to treat adolescents and young adults with depression instead of long-term use of antidepressants. TMS is a powerful, non-invasive therapy that can aid people in overcoming severe depression.
—
TMS may assist you in alleviating the effects of your manic episodes if you have bipolar disorder. If you have bipolar disease, TMS treatment might aid in the management of your highs and lows. This therapy employs magnetic pulses to keep your emotions stable and help maintain emotional balance in your life.
—
Researchers have discovered that eating disorders such as anorexia affect the brain. The striatal, frontal, and limbic brain networks are particularly susceptible, with the prefrontal cortex being the most notable. TMS can restore balance to the prefrontal cortex and reset disrupted neural pathways by stimulating it.
—
Many individuals claim to be nervous or anxious in today's society but that does not imply they have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. GAD is a debilitating, chronic anxiety disorder that interferes with everyday functioning and can strike at any age. TMS therapy can be used as a long-term treatment alternative to medication for GAD.
—
Insomnia can be a terrible burden to live with. It involves persistent problems falling asleep and staying asleep, which are frequently linked to poor sleeping habits or chronic illness. Difficulty going off shift at night or waking up during the day might indicate insomnia; you may feel weary and irritable as a result of these disruptions to your regular routine.
—
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops as a result of frightening events. Flashbacks, nightmares, sleeplessness, and anxiety or sadness are symptoms. TMS promotes neural connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the region responsible for emotional control, especially the amygdala, which helps decrease PTSD severity.
—
Drugs and alcohol can be dangerous to your mental and physical health. They also wreak havoc on families and relationships. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction, specialized therapy such as TMS may help with long-term, drug-free relief from cravings. We can assist you in this process.
—
There is no doubt that smoking addiction has a negative impact on our general health and brain function. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been investigated as a smoking cessation therapy and has shown positive results, with deep TMS treatment for smoking cessation being licensed by the FDA in 2020. Stop smoking with help from TMS.

TMS therapy is typically recommended for individuals who have not experienced significant improvement with traditional treatments such as medications or therapy. Candidates often include those with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety. A comprehensive assessment by a qualified healthcare professional will determine if TMS therapy is suitable for you.
During a TMS session, you'll be comfortably seated while a magnetic coil is placed against your scalp. The coil delivers repetitive magnetic pulses, creating tapping or clicking sensations on your head. Sessions usually last around 20-40 minutes, and you can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment.
TMS therapy is generally well-tolerated and has fewer side effects compared to some other treatments. Common side effects may include mild scalp discomfort or headache, which typically diminish over time. Severe side effects are rare, but your healthcare provider will monitor your progress closely throughout the treatment course.
A standard TMS treatment course consists of daily sessions for several weeks, usually ranging from 4 to 6 weeks. The exact duration may vary based on your individual needs and treatment response. Your healthcare provider will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
TMS therapy is usually included in the coverage of many insurance plans. It’s advisable to reach out to your insurance provider to confirm your eligibility.
For those without insurance coverage, we offer competitive self-pay rates. To learn more about these options, please reach out to us for detailed information.
We only provide the TMS intervention and the necessary evaluations related to this. It is important that any other doctors working with you during our treatments communicate any medication changes.
At Orion TMS, our neurocare and psychiatric services promote mental wellbeing across the Chicago suburbs. We specialize in offering personalized treatment plans that target depression and can help you attain a fulfilling life.
