At MediSun, Our Founders Experienced
NeuroStar's Impact Firsthand!
The founders of MediSun, Monica and Alexis, discovered NeuroStar technology during a deeply personal journey. Their beloved mother, who had been struggling with Alzheimer's and was unable to function independently, became their inspiration. After just a few treatments with NeuroStar, the transformation was undeniable—her progress gave them hope and a renewed sense of possibility.
​
Moved by this life-changing experience, Monica and Alexis made it their mission to bring this groundbreaking technology to their clinics. They are committed to offering their patients the same opportunity to experience the remarkable results they witnessed firsthand, empowering others to reclaim their lives and thrive.

What is NeuroStar Advanced
Therapy (TMS)?
NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression. It is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).
​
While the exact cause of depression is not known, the leading scientific theory is that it is caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.
During a NeuroStar treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission possible.​​
​

Frequently Asked Questions
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, often referred to as TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when antidepressant medications haven’t been effective, have ceased working, or as an alternative to medication.
- What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) delivers gentle magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain to help improve mood and mental health.
- How does TMS work?
A typical initial course of treatment is about 19-37 minutes daily over 4-6 weeks, depending on the individual's needs and treatment plan.
- How long is TMS treatment?
A vast majority of commercial and Medicare plans have recognized the effectiveness of treating depressions with TMS Therapy and now cover TMS as part of their plans.
- Is TMS Therapy covered by my insurance?
TMS does not circulate in the blood throughout the body, so it does not have side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nasuea, dry mouth, sedation, etc. The most common side effects reported during clinical trials were headache and scalp discomfort--generally mild to moderate--occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.
- Is TMS Therapy a good alternative for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressant medications?
No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for a therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of an MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. Those products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells. The activation and stimulation of brain cells is a key part of why TMS is so effective.
