Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment

An Effective New Way to Recover from a Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be a life-changing event. The initial injury is not only immediately painful, but it can also cause a wide range of symptoms, including physical, cognitive, and emotional problems. In some cases, these symptoms can last for months or even years.

Many treatments and therapies exist. to help with the after-effects of a head injury. However, sometimes you can still have debilitating symptoms long after the original injury. That’s where MeRT® comes in.

Know that you’re not alone — and that help exists.

MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, is a new, non-invasive, drug-free treatment for those lingering TBI symptoms. This treatment protocol is a customized use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on comprehensive diagnostic testing of your brain.

Scientific research reveals that when certain neural circuits in the brain are affected, it can lead to changes in brain function and contribute to the symptoms experienced in traumatic brain injury (TBI). MeRT therapy specifically addresses these altered brainwaves, restoring communication and promoting better overall brain functioning.

This well-tolerated treatment can also be used alongside other therapies for TBI recovery and can improve their effectiveness.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a sudden change in brain function due to an external force, such as a blow to the head. TBI can result in a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe. And it can happen to anyone — regardless of your age or state of health.

Causes of a TBI include:

• Falls
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Sports injuries
• Assaults
• Explosions
• Penetrating head injuries

TBI can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the severity of the injury and the symptoms present.

Mild TBI, also known as a concussion, is the most common type. Symptoms usually go away within a few weeks, but some people may experience long-term problems.

Moderate TBI can cause more severe symptoms, and it may take months or even years for someone to fully recover.

Severe TBI can cause permanent brain damage and disability. People with severe TBI may need lifelong care.

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for TBI. Treatment will vary depending on the severity of the injury and the symptoms.

How a TBI Affects Your Brain

Traumatic brain injuries are more common than you may think and can have long-term effects if not fully treated. However, treating TBI can be complex, with unique symptoms for each person.

Here are some of the ways a TBI can affect brain function:

• Cognitive abilities: TBI can impact memory, attention, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Motor skills: TBI can affect coordination, balance, and physical movements.
• Sensory processing: TBI can disrupt vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
• Emotional and behavioral changes: TBI can lead to mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and difficulties with emotional control.
• Communication and language: TBI can affect speaking, understanding, reading, and writing.
• Social and interpersonal functioning: TBI can disrupt social skills and relationships.
• Sleep disturbances: TBI can cause difficulties with sleep patterns.

That’s why recovery and rehabilitation are so vital when you have a TBI — and why MeRT is such a breakthrough treatment. First, we begin with a comprehensive analysis of your brainwave patterns to determine where they are out of sync. We then plan a tailored treatment program to neuromodulate your brain waves and help improve brain communication and organization.
