Autism is a complicated disorder that impacts how a child’s brain develops, leading to issues with communication, self-regulation, repetitive behaviors, and social skills. Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is a revolutionary treatment for autism that has had amazing results and is bringing hope to families across the country.
How Can MeRT Improve the Quality of Life for someone with Autism?
MeRT stands for Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, a therapy that is used to treat Insomnia, Anxiety/Depression, PTSD, TBI, and a wide range of other issues that stem from brain activity imbalances like ADHD and Autism. Naples Vitality uses gentle magnetic stimulation to enhance neurological development and help the brain to heal and open pathways that otherwise would not be accessible.
MeRT treatment starts with a QEEG ( Quantitative Electroencephalogram) that uses sophisticated brain imaging to locate the areas of the brain that are not communicating. This is then used to customize a protocol of gentle magnetic waves that are created specifically for your brain. Once the protocol is created the MeRT treatments can begin. Using electromagnetic pulses can stimulate specific areas of the brain and encourage them to start communicating.
Though only approved by the FDA for Anxiety, Depression, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the Department of Defense completed extensive studies on how MeRT treatment has been able to help hundreds of veterans. It has also been featured on the TV show “The Doctors” as a form of Treatment for Many children with Autism who have experienced some miraculous results in their overall function after going through MeRT treatment. “The Doctors” interviewed neurologist Spencer O. Miller, MD, who has been utilizing this treatment, and some moms of kids with Autism give their testimonials as well.
Autism Decreases Neural Connectivity in the Brain
If your child has been diagnosed with autism, their behaviors and lack of communication skills can be difficult to understand and adjust to. While autism is a very complex condition, we know that it is rooted in the brain.
While the brain of a neurotypical individual has well-organized, balanced brainwave activity, people with a developmental delay often have abnormal brainwaves in the front three-fourths of their brain. There is often a mix of slow and high-frequency behavior. However, every person with autism has a unique brain — even if they share the same symptoms as someone else. There is no one size fits all treatment for autism and other developmental delays, and that is why a unique approach is necessary.
