Neurostar® TMS is a non-drug, non-invasive TMS treatment in Minnesota that gently reactivates the brain circuits behind mood — no medication, no sedation, no downtime.
Neurostar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses focused magnetic pulses — similar to those used in an MRI — to gently stimulate the underactive nerve cells in the mood-regulating regions of the brain. As a top TMS clinic in Monticello MN, we provide targeted TMS therapy to help you find relief.
It’s an outpatient treatment that requires no medication, no anesthesia, and no sedation. You stay fully awake, and you can drive yourself home and return to your day right afterward.
Outcomes for patients completing a full course of NeuroStar treatment, as reported by NeuroStar clinical data. Individual results vary.
Depression is a biological condition. TMS gently “wakes up” the underactive brain circuits behind it — like physical therapy for the brain.
We precisely locate your optimal treatment site using NeuroStar’s motor-threshold protocol — care tailored to your brain.
A magnetic coil is positioned comfortably over the left prefrontal cortex, the region that regulates mood.
Gentle, focused pulses stimulate underactive neurons — reactivating dormant neural connections.
Over the course, repeated stimulation restores healthier connectivity and improves mood regulation — with lasting effects.
NeuroStar is FDA-cleared for several conditions — a proven option when medication alone hasn’t been enough.
For adults with major depressive disorder — especially when antidepressants haven’t brought relief.

Each treatment takes about 19 minutes. You relax in a comfortable chair, fully awake the whole time.
A typical course is about 36 sessions over roughly six weeks, usually five days a week.
No sedation and no recovery time — you can drive yourself and get right back to your day.
Most people feel a light tapping on the scalp. Any mild discomfort typically fades after the first week.
Unlike medication, Neurostar® TMS doesn’t travel through your digestive system or affect the rest of your body — so it treats depression at the source, without the common side effects of medication.
Because Neurostar® doesn’t go through the digestive system or affect the rest of the body, it avoids the common side effects associated with antidepressant medications.
Neurostar’s unique figure-8 coil focuses treatment precisely where it’s needed — right at the source of depression in the brain.
Neurostar’s patented Contact Sensing technology ensures you receive the prescribed dosage — every treatment, every pulse.
For many, TMS succeeds where medication couldn’t — and without the trade-offs.
No pills and none of the systemic side effects like weight gain, drowsiness, or sexual dysfunction.
No surgery, no anesthesia, and nothing like ECT — you stay fully awake and alert.
