What is MeRT?
MeRT, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Therapy, is a highly customized use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS, based on sophisticated diagnostics. It is a non-invasive, painless, and drug-free option for the treatment of a wide range of neurological conditions. MeRT protocols start with a quantitative EEG or qEEG. The qEEG allows us to see patterns of dysfunction that identify varying disorders of the brain, such as learning and behavioral issues, emotional disorders, brain injury, and others. The qEEG done on each patient provides us with a map that guides each individually tailored treatment.
The equipment used for treatment with MeRT is FDA-cleared. It generates magnetic waves that allow us to gently stimulate specifically targeted areas of the brain. MeRT Treatment protocols have seen some incredible success in improving conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injuries and Concussions, Depression, Anxiety, Sleep Disorders, and many more. Our Platform analyzes brainwave data to deliver targeted treatment parameters and give you the best outcomes possible. By combining our deep expertise in neuroscience with machine learning analysis, we can decode and classify functional indicators in the brain that can be changed by using individualized treatment tools.
How can MeRT help you?
The brain is composed of approximately 100 billion neurons. It’s interesting because the brain works through populations of neurons interacting with each other. One of the ways that they interact is through tiny electrical oscillations or brain waves. If we can positively affect injured or non-neurotypical brains, we may not be far from improving connections in healthy brains and enhancing intelligence in a generalized way. The quality of behavior between your neurons can be disrupted by many things; you may have a sleep disorder, congenital condition, chemical trauma / addiction, an acute injury to the head, and high amounts of stress / emotional trauma. Disruptions can be minor or significant – everyone has different thresholds of tolerance, but what is amazing is that with a little nudging in the right direction, the brain can be improved.
Through the measurement and analysis of your brainwave activity, we identify disruptions to your brain network and build treatment parameters specifically tailored to your needs. In most cases we can visibly reshape brainwave activity, regardless of what may have caused the disruption to begin with. The MeRTSM platform is a patent protected process that is currently undergoing rigorous research by the Department of Defense and several private institutions. Studying brainwaves is the future of care for so many illnesses and disorders. By assessing the communication quality between the networks of neurons in your brain, we are informed about how you might be experiencing the world.
