- Depression
Overwhelming feelings of sadness, despair, worthlessness, and loneliness that affect sleep, diet, social relations and daily functioning are common in those with depression.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is FDA-approved and covered by many insurances for Multi-Medication Resistant Major Depressive Disorder in adults. TMS therapy has shown a clinically significant response in up to 80% of individuals who did not experience beneficial results from anti-depressants. About one-third of these individuals experience full remission.
MeRT is an individualized application of TMS that tailors treatment to meet the unique needs of your brain.
- qEEG guided therapy
People with depression typically have asymmetrical or uneven brainwave activity across hemispheres. TMS and MeRT reorganize brainwave activity across both hemispheres using magnetic waves to reduce symptoms of depression.
- Anxiety
Anxiety in moderation is normal. However, significant anxiety is uncomfortable and detrimental to one’s health. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 5 adults meet clinical standards for some form of anxiety disorder, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
- qEEG guided therapy
Individuals with anxiety disorders generally have higher levels of brain waves that are “too fast” across multiple areas of the brain. TMS and MeRT work to calm any overactive brainwave activity by resetting neural connections with gentle magnetic waves.
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism is a complex disorder that affects each person differently. People with autism may exhibit impacted language, social skills, behavior, cognition, and ability to function independently.
- qEEG guided therapy
Brainwaves of those with autism often show patterns of disorganization in the front 3/4 of the brain. Brainwaves in these areas consist of a mix of slow (Delta & Theta) and fast (Beta) frequency behavior whereas a neurotypical brain would usually have one dominant frequency in the Alpha band range. MeRT works to entrain the front of the brain to be less disorganized and increase whole brain coherence, which aims to improve sleep, social behavior and overall better quality of life for the child & the family.
- Dementia & Memory Loss
Being unable to recall events, places, and people can be frustrating and scary. We offer MeRT to treat the early symptoms and behaviors of early-stage dementia and memory loss. Although MeRT is not a cure for dementia, it can help to slow the progression of dementia as well as alleviate co-morbid symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and brain fog.
- qEEG guided therapy
Brainwave patterns of those with dementia include overall disorganized brain connectivity with unique markers on the qEEG. MeRT entrains areas of abnormal brain functioning, which may alleviate mood and cognitive changes related to increasing memory loss.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur in anyone at any age in response to highly distressing experience(s). PTSD is linked to physically altered brain functioning, which can affect various areas of a person’s life from their sleep, relationships, and daily functioning.
- qEEG guided therapy
Those with PTSD often exhibit asymmetrical or uneven brainwave activity between the front and back of the brain. Oftentimes, instead of a single alpha frequency across the brain, there are two competing Alpha frequencies in the frontal lobe and excessive Theta & Delta in other areas of the brain.
MeRT has FDA recognition as a Breakthrough Designated Device for PTSD. MeRT works to reshape abnormal Theta & Delta brainwave activity caused by trauma to a single, optimal Alpha frequency across the brain. Many with PTSD report improved sleep, cognitive processing, emotional stability, and greater sense of well-being with MeRT.
- Long COVID-19 Care & Brain Fog
Persistent and chronic symptoms following recovery from COVID-19 have been termed “Long COVID Syndrome” by medical and research experts. In many cases, the COVID-19 virus infiltrates neural tissues causing brain fog, fatigue, and more.
- qEEG guided therapy
Brainwave patterns of those with post COVID-19 symptoms include overall disorganized neural connectivity with unique markers on each individual’s qEEG. MeRT recalibrates abnormal brainwaves so that they may function at your brain’s optimal frequency. With improved brainwave functioning, symptoms and severity of Long Covid Syndrome are reduced.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Concussive Disorders
Brain injuries are debilitating. They affect everything from mood, cognition, memory, language, focus, and other functions depending on the impacted area(s) of the brain.
- qEEG guided therapy
Brainwave patterns in those with TBIs or concussive disorders include asynchronous brainwave activity across the brain with unique markers on each individual’s qEEG. MeRT reorganizes abnormal neural connections to ideal frequencies in order to reduce clinical symptoms.
- Central Sleep Apnea
Central sleep apnea occurs when breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep due to poor communication between the brain and body. Sleep apnea is often associated with poor sleep, snoring, chronic fatigue, headache, and other symptoms.
- qEEG guided therapy
Individuals with central sleep apnea linked to brainwave dysfunction may show dysregulation in the brain with excessive fast and slow brainwaves. MeRT helps by optimizing neural connections to improve brain-body communication to improve your sleep.
- Migraine
Migraines are a disabling neurological disease with varying symptoms that last anywhere from hours to days. Treating migraines can be challenging. TMS is FDA approved for the treatment of migraines with aura.
- qEEG guided therapy
People with migraines often show imbalanced brain connections that are connecting “too fast” and “too slow” in unique areas. MeRT helps to optimize communication between neurons so that they operate at your brain’s ideal speed.
For all conditions treated with TMS and MeRT, results vary per individual and are not guaranteed.
