PTSD Treatment with MeRT
Move Past the Trauma
for Good
Would you like to stop reliving past traumatic events?
Be free of stress, anxiety, and depression?
Feel you can move forward in life?
MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is a non-invasive, drug-free protocol that uses sophisticated diagnostics to develop a highly tailored treatment plan.
We use magnetic waves to gently stimulate precisely targeted areas of the brain which can result in significant symptom improvement.
Breakthrough Treatment
New Hope for Treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
According to the American Psychiatric Association, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects around 3.5 percent of US adults every year — and an estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime.
If you have experienced PTSD, you know the pain it can cause. The nightmares, flashbacks, inability to concentrate, jumping at any loud noise—the list can go on and on. And it can seem impossible to move forward in life.
And you may have tried many ways to treat your PTSD, such as therapy or medications, but the trauma still haunts you. You can feel stuck inside your head with no way out.
However, there is hope. It’s called MeRT or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and lasting. And it’s had some spectacular results when treating PTSD.*

Non-Invasive and Drug-Free
The MeRT Approach to PTSD Treatment
MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, combines three procedures:
1. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS, an FDA cleared therapy),
2. Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG), and
3. Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG).
The EEG is key to the success of the MeRT treatment. Here’s why:
Patients with PTSD have markers that are clearly visible in their EEG studies. The EEG can show us an imbalance in brainwave activity. Then, through a highly personalized treatment plan, we strengthen healthy brainwave activity. This treatment can result in a significant reduction of PTSD symptoms.
Plus, many people who experience post-traumatic stress also suffer from conditions such as depression and anxiety. MeRT treatment can address those conditions as well. *

Could You Be Suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
When a person has experienced or seen a terrifying life event, they can suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. That event may involve a real or perceived threat of injury or death.
This can include:
- a natural disaster like an earthquake or tornado
- military combat
- physical or sexual assault or abuse
- an accident
PTSD can also arise after exposure to trauma over a long period of time. This can include childhood abuse or long-term abusive relationships.
Some people can recover from extreme trauma in time. But others carry the traumatic stress with them for months or years. And in some cases, the symptoms can get worse over time.
PTSD can happen to anyone at any age. And having PTSD doesn’t mean you’re flawed or weak.
And while PTSD may improve with medication and therapy, 20-50% of all patients don’t respond to conventional treatments. Yet, TMS—a key component of MeRT—has shown some remarkable results.*

What To Expect
How to Find Out More About MeRT
MeRT is a relatively new treatment, so you may have many questions as to whether it’s the right treatment for your PTSD. We understand, and we’re here to make it as easy as possible for you to get the information you need. We also know that this is not a light decision to make.
Your first step is as simple as a phone consultation with our New Patient Coordinator. You can discuss symptoms and history, ask all the questions you want, and have her explain the treatment in full. This includes all fees and protocols.
Once you decide to take the next step, we then set up two separate appointments. Each of these appointments will last 45 minutes to an hour. After this, we have an assessment period where the actual procedure and monitoring take place.
EEG Testing
On your first appointment, we perform the qEEG and ECG/EKG. These tests are simple and painless and done right in our office. For the EEG, we place a cap on your head to measure the electrical activity in your brain. This will map out any areas which are not performing as they should. Additionally, in the EKG, we attach electrodes to your chest to record the heart’s electrical signals.
Once we perform the test, our team will carefully analyze the results. Based on this analysis, we develop a treatment plan customized to your specific condition and schedule your assessment period of treatment.
Consultation
Your second appointment, after your qEEG/EKG, is a one-on-one consultation. You can do this either in person or virtually from the comfort of your home. We will discuss your test results and treatment protocols, answer any questions you may have, and let you know more about what to expect during your assessment period of treatment.
Assessment Period
The next step is the Assessment Period, where we will perform a short period of treatment, followed by a new EEG to see how you are responding to the treatment. We determine progress based on the new EEG results compared to the initial one done and symptom improvements.
If there is a positive response to treatment during the assessment period, you will have likely noticed some improvements starting to take place. At that point, we will schedule additional MeRT treatment in two-week intervals.
At the end of every two weeks, we will perform a qEEG/EKG to monitor your progress; you will have a consultation to confirm that changes are still showing on the testing.
Most conditions treated with MeRT provide noticeable and long-lasting results after four to eight weeks of treatment; however, each patient is different, and results may vary.
