What is MeRT?

Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is a noninvasive therapy that helps overcome brain function issues. 

It’s based on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a treatment in which magnetic pulses stimulate brain neurons to help the brain repair itself. 

MeRT is far more specialized because it alters magnetic pulse frequency and location according to your brain activity.

What conditions does MeRT treat?

MeRT is becoming well known for its powerful rapid symptom relief* in patients with:

• Autism
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Many additional disorders and diseases arise at least partly due to brain function issues, which is exactly what MeRT addresses. So, the uses for MeRT are quickly expanding. 

What is the MeRT treatment process?

The MeRT process is fully customized, so it has several steps. 

Evaluation and testing

Evaluation and testing involves a discussion of your needs, medical history, and hopes for treatment. Most importantly, an electroencephalogram (EEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG) measure your brain and heart electrical activity to paint a picture of how your brain functions.

Together, these tests can help find the cause of your symptoms. Additionally, the tests help assess your psychological state, consciousness level, and brain-heart connection. 

Analysis

Analysis involves compiling all of the data from the EEG and EKG. This information allows your medical care providers to determine where your brain is having communication difficulties. Then, they can design the best plan for your upcoming treatment. 

MeRT treatment

In MeRT treatment sessions, a magnetic coil rests lightly on your head. Magnetic stimulation is generally painless. Stimulation occurs for 6-8 seconds per minute for around 30 minutes.

Many patients have symptom improvements in the first week. Your provider charts your response to treatment using follow-up testing. They can tailor treatment further according to your needs. 

Specific results depend on your condition and brain state, and your body’s reaction to treatment. Because everyone responds differently, Wholesome Therapy Center personalizes your care. 

Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) is also available. The treatment approach uses reflex patterns to help restore nervous system problems with emotional regulation, coordination, visual tracking, recall, and other issues.

Combining the two treatments can help to maximize results. To learn more, call Wholesome Therapy Center or use the online appointment feature.
