All will be well with the right treatment.

Experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion can significantly disrupt daily life due to alterations in brainwave activity. At Brain Treatment Center – Columbus, we offer Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) as an innovative, personalized approach to address these challenges.

Understanding MeRT Treatment for TBI and Concussions

MeRT is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that utilizes magnetic fields to stimulate and balance brain function. This individualized treatment is designed to improve neural communication and alleviate symptoms associated with neurological conditions, including TBI and concussions.

Personalized Assessment Process

Our treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your brain’s activity through a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG). These diagnostic tools measure brainwave frequencies and heart rate, providing insights into your neurological state and brain-heart coherence.

The qEEG identifies specific brainwave patterns and any disruptions resulting from injury. This information allows us to detect markers of brain injury and determine the exact frequency of your brain’s activity.

Tailored Treatment Protocol

Based on the assessment results, we develop a customized MeRT treatment plan tailored to your unique brain patterns and asymmetries. The therapy involves gentle magnetic stimulation of targeted brain regions to promote improved neural connectivity. When combined with appropriate therapeutic interventions, MeRT has shown promise in enhancing recovery outcomes for individuals who have suffered head injuries.

Commitment to Your Recovery

At Brain Treatment Center – Columbus, we are dedicated to restoring and enhancing your brain health. Our personalized MeRT approach aims to reduce symptoms associated with TBI and concussions, ultimately improving your quality of life.​

Please note: MeRT is considered an “off-label” treatment for TBI, meaning it is used in a manner not specified in the FDA’s approved packaging label. We recommend consulting with our medical professionals to determine if this therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
A traumatic brain injury occurs when an external force, such as a blow or jolt to the head, disrupts normal brain function. TBIs can range from mild (commonly known as concussions) to severe, potentially leading to long-term complications or death. Common causes include falls, vehicle accidents, and sports injuries.
How is TBI diagnosed?
Diagnosing TBI involves a combination of neurological examinations and imaging tests. Healthcare providers assess cognitive function, motor skills, and sensory responses. Imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are often used to detect brain abnormalities resulting from injury. ​
What treatment options are available for TBI?
Treatment for TBI depends on the severity of the injury. Mild cases may require rest and over-the-counter pain relievers, while moderate to severe TBIs might necessitate medications, emergency surgery, or rehabilitation therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Our team develops personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs to promote optimal recovery.
What is the recovery process like for someone with TBI?
Recovery from TBI varies widely among individuals and depends on factors like the injury’s severity and the person’s overall health. Rehabilitation aims to help individuals regain as much function as possible and may involve therapies to improve physical abilities, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. Our multidisciplinary approach supports patients throughout their recovery journey, adapting treatments to their evolving needs. ​
Are there long-term effects associated with TBI?
Some individuals may experience long-term effects after a TBI, including cognitive impairments, emotional changes, and physical challenges. Ongoing medical care and rehabilitation can help manage these effects. We provide continuous support and treatment adjustments to address any persistent symptoms and enhance quality of life.
