In 30 Seconds

OCD is a brain-based condition driven by anxiety and compulsions.

TMS disrupts the obsessive-compulsive cycle by stimulating key brain circuits.

Deep TMS is FDA-approved and available at Inspire TMS Denver using the MagVenture Cool D-B80 coil.

What Is OCD, Really?

OCD isn’t just being “particular.” It’s a debilitating condition marked by:


  • Obsessions – intrusive, distressing thoughts
  • Compulsions – repetitive actions to reduce anxiety


This cycle hijacks the brain’s survival mechanisms and becomes self-reinforcing over time.

How TMS Breaks the Cycle

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) sends magnetic pulses to rebalance brain circuits involved in OCD - especially the CSTC (cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical) loop.


At Inspire TMS Denver, we use the FDA-cleared Cool D-B80 deep coil to target:


  • Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex
  • Bilateral anterior cingulate cortices


This approach rewires neural pathways without medication or sedation.
