Help Unlock Your Brain’s Potential
MeRT: Transform Your Life by Balancing Your Brain
Your brain contains about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons), which communicate via brainwaves across specific pathways. The more often you use a pathway in the brain, the stronger it gets.
But when forces disrupt brain activity, these pathways can become weaker — or completely unused. Forces can be internal or external and may include:
- Trauma to the head, such as a concussion
- Depression or Major Depressive Disorder
- Emotional trauma or high amounts of chronic or acute stress
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Illness or disease such as stroke or Parkinson’s
- Developmental disorders such as autism, ADD, and ADHD
- Dementia
- Anxiety
- Sleeping disorders
Even after experiencing one or more of these forces, some people can still function in life. Others, however, have no quality of life whatsoever.
That’s what makes MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) such a breakthrough: MeRT can restore the unused, weakened pathways in the brain and, by so doing, restore balance. And MeRT does this without medications or invasive procedures, making it a safe, effective, and lasting solution to symptoms of brain dysfunction.

Conditions We Treat
A variety of neurological conditions can be treated. Click to learn more…
WHAT IS MeRT?
MeRT is non-surgical, non-invasive, painless, and completely drug-free. This breakthrough treatment combines the technologies of:
- Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG), also called “brain mapping,” a diagnostic tool that measures electrical activity in brain wave patterns. Performing a qEEG allows us to tailor your therapy to exactly your brain patterns.
- Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG), a test which records the electrical signal from the heart and shows Brain/Heart relationship.
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This is where the magic happens and inactive pathways are stimulated.
The key to MeRT is the initial testing with the qEEG. That’s because the EEG report will show any imbalance in brainwave activity, which will differ from patient to patient.
Once we see the imbalance in brainwave activity, we can then develop a personalized treatment plan to strengthen healthy brainwave activity using our customized magnetic stimulation, using FDA approved equipment designed specifically for this use. The TMS equipment delivers gentle magnetic pulses to those specific areas of the brain which are not functioning as they should be. This can improve brain connectivity and communication, and in many cases, has greatly reduced symptoms.*
Currently, MeRT is FDA-approved to treat Major Depressive Disorder. Treatment for all other conditions such as Autism, Concussion and PTSD is considered “off label.” However, we expect FDA approval soon for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The Steps of MeRT Treatment
The MeRT treatment protocol involves four specific steps: Testing and Evaluation; Analysis and Treatment Plan; Assessment Period; and Progress Evaluation.
Please click the boxes at right to learn more about each step of MeRT treatment.
Testing and Evaluation
At your first appointment, we will perform the qEEG and EKG. These tests measure brainwave frequencies, heart rate, and brain-heart coherence.
By doing these tests, we can see the unique frequency pattern within your brain. The tests are simple, non-invasive and painless, and we perform them right in our office.
Then, once we complete the tests, we send them to our team of scientists and doctors to evaluate the results.
Analysis and Treatment Plan
We use a scientific and patented approach when analyzing your test results. This analysis combines expertly honed algorithms with years of historical data to create a report that can help us determine the best path forward.
Based on this analysis, we develop a customized treatment plan and schedule an assessment period to determine if you will benefit from treatment.
Assessment Period
During the two-week assessment period, you will receive therapy five days a week. In each session, you’ll sit in a comfortable chair while a highly trained technician places a magnetic coil on your head.
The sessions are fast since you typically spend 30 minutes in the chair each time. And the specific time of stimulation is just six to eight seconds every minute.
Progress Evaluation
We’ll monitor your results as you progress through your daily treatments. This enables us to track improvements and confirm how you’re feeling. Then, after your two-week assessment period, we’ll perform a new qEEG and EKG to review your progress.
If you respond positively to treatment during the assessment period, then we’ll schedule additional treatment in two-week intervals. Most conditions require six to eight weeks of MeRT treatment for the best results.

“It was absolutely terrifying to not know what was wrong with me or how to fix the problem. [MeRT] not only identified the deteriorated state of my brainwave activity, but restored its function… I consider the healing I experienced to be a miracle.” – US Army Veteran
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MERT
What will exclude me from receiving treatment?
Please let your provider know if you have any of the following:
Pacemaker, defibrillator, vagal nerve stimulator, VP shunt/Magnetic intracranial shunts, deep brain stimulator implant, epidural cortical stimulator, steel shunts/stents/filters, cranial metal fragments (ie. shrapnel, excluding titanium), aneurysm clips/coils, cochlear implant, pregnant or breast feeding, primary or metastic brain cancer, magnetic dental implant, ocular implants
Conditions that are acceptable but require close attention:
History of seizures, titanium shunts/stents, spinal cord stimulator, hearing aids, magnetic ink tattoo, bipolar disorder type 1&2, Baha implant
What the side effects?
You may experience a temporary headache, insomnia/fatigue, possible increased irritability, etc. Please inform your provider for treatment options.
How long is the treatment period?
Every case will vary. You may feel some clinical response within the first 2 weeks. However, for complete effectiveness of treatment, anticipate 4-6 weeks of therapy.
Many of these veterans had traumatic brain injuries or concussions. And many experienced PTSD because of their experiences. Dr. Won discussed some of the incredible successes achieved with MeRT treatment.
MeRT Treatment Featured on The Broken Brain Podcast
Mark Hyman, M.D., is a highly respected physician and best-selling author. He founded the Cleveland Clinic Functional Medicine Clinic and created a podcast called The Broken Brain, focusing on anything that could affect the brain and overall health.
MeRT was featured on an episode of The Broken Brain as an exciting new treatment. In this episode, Dr. Erik Won, President of Wave Neuroscience, talked about how he used MeRT to treat members of the military.
We highly recommend you watch this informative podcast.
MeRT Treatment for Autism Featured on “The Doctors”
