How does TMS treatment work for patients in Torrance?
South Bay Offices From Crenshaw to Madison
Our directory has six TMS listings in Torrance, spread across four addresses. You will find them in the Crenshaw Boulevard medical offices on the north side, on West Carson Street and Torrance Boulevard near the Del Amo area, and on Madison Street in south Torrance. Patients come from Redondo Beach, Gardena, Lomita, Carson and the Palos Verdes Peninsula, often by way of the 405 or the 110.
Mapping the Right Spot and Dose
At your first treatment, the provider places the coil over the motor area of your brain and finds the lowest setting that makes your thumb or fingers twitch. That reading is called the motor threshold, and it sets the dose. The team then measures forward to the area linked to mood. The map is saved, so each later session lines up the same way.
How TMS Fits With Medication and Therapy
TMS does not replace the rest of your care. Most people keep taking their current medication, and many keep seeing a therapist during the course. Several Torrance offices offer virtual psychiatry and virtual therapy, which can help you keep those visits going without extra driving. Your prescriber and TMS team should talk so any medication changes are planned, not rushed.
Fitting Visits Into Shift Work
Many people in Torrance work early, late or rotating shifts at refineries, aerospace firms and hospitals. Since treatment means daily weekday sessions for around six weeks, check which clinics open early or stay late. Torrance Transit and Metro buses serve the main boulevards, and most of these office buildings have parking on site.

What conditions bring South Bay residents to TMS clinics in Torrance?
South Bay residents ask about TMS for a range of concerns: Depression, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar. Of these, depression is the primary FDA-cleared reason for TMS, mostly for people whose medicines did not bring relief. A provider looks at your history at an evaluation before saying yes.
Which insurance plans do Torrance TMS offices list?
Plans listed here include Humana, Magellan Health, Aetna, Blue Shield of California, plus Anthem Blue Cross. Medicare and Medi-Cal follow their own rules, so have the front desk confirm your coverage and explain any prior authorization steps before you schedule.
Do I keep taking my antidepressant during TMS?
Usually yes. Most people stay on their current medication during a TMS course unless the prescriber decides otherwise. Do not change any dose on your own. Share your full medication list at the evaluation so the team can plan around it.
How long does each Torrance appointment take?
A standard visit runs between 20 and 40 minutes, plus a few minutes to check in and get seated. Theta-burst appointments need just a few minutes of stimulation. Your very first visit runs longer because the team measures your motor threshold.
Can I go to work right after a session?
Yes. You stay alert, and no sedation is used, so you can drive and return to your job. Tenderness on the scalp or a light headache is what people notice most, and seizures are rare.
