Nystrum & Associates, a provider of behavioral health care services, conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 26 to celebrate the introduction of its transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy service using the NeuroStar therapy device.
TMS uses strong magnetic fields to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood in the treatment of patients with major depressive disorder for whom medication was not effective.
The Nystrom & Associates Eden Prairie clinic, located at 11010 Prairie Lakes Drive, Suite 350, is one of two now offering TMS; the other Nystrom clinic to offer the service is Psychiatric Associates in Iowa City, Iowa.
“When people are depressed, it’s hard to function. We’re excited to offer TMS because it broadens patient access to this transformative treatment and it offers hope and remission for those who need it most,” said Mike Chappuis, Nystrom & Associates’ vice president of medical services.
