Your brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons that govern its functions through electrical oscillations or brain waves. Unfortunately, internal or external forces can interrupt normal brain wave activity and lead to dysfunction. These forces include:

• Head trauma, such as a concussion or traumatic brain injury
• Multiple sports-related head injuries
• High levels of chronic or acute stress, emotional trauma, PTSD
• Depression, major depressive disorder (MDD)
• Illnesses or diseases such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease
• Developmental disorders like autism, ADD, ADHD
• Learning disorders
• Drug or alcohol addiction
• Cognitive decline, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease
• Multiple sports injuries (head hits)
• Anxiety
• Sleep disorders
• Congenital problems

These disorders may cause mild to severe brain dysfunction. And while some can continue with their daily routines, others become incapacitated and experience a poor quality of life.

MeRT can effectively treat this brain dysfunction and provide relief from so many conditions.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is just that — traumatic. First, you have the initial trauma of the impact. Then you have the trauma that often comes afterward, affecting your emotions, mental clarity, memory, and so much more.

Sometimes people can recover well after a concussion or other head injury. Other times, however, things just keep getting worse — and affect every aspect of life. We understand. That’s why we’re so proud to offer MeRT treatment for the common after-effects of a TBI or concussion.

Studies show that altered neural circuits in the brain can cause changes in brain function and contribute to TBI symptoms. Our innovative MeRT program allows us to correct patterns of dysfunction in the brain before they become detrimental.

Plus, many people with traumatic brain injuries go through other therapies to help them regain function and cope with their injury or disability. MeRT treatment can be used with these therapies — and can often improve their effectiveness.

If you have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), you know how hard it can be. And while some people will eventually recover after a traumatic experience, many won’t. The debilitating symptoms can last for years.

MeRT is an entirely new approach to treating Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. This non-invasive, drug-free treatment can help relieve many of the debilitating symptoms that come with PTSD.

Studies show that altered neural circuits in the brain can cause changes in brain function and contribute to PTSD symptoms like anxiety and depression. MeRT works directly on these altered brainwaves to get them back in sync.

After receiving MeRT treatment, many patients report considerable relief from their PTSD symptoms — and can truly live their lives again.

Mina Paiman, MD, is board-certified in Family Medicine with a focus on developmental delays/disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She has helped families learn to identify when their children are not meeting milestones and emotionally supports them through this process, as it’s a very difficult time for coping and acceptance. 

Doing this work with ASD opened her heart to a community of children and parents needing compassionate education and assistance. Dr. Paiman learned the challenges these families face, and she continues to learn about new services where families can receive support through early intervention, developmental pediatrician referrals, and diagnostic testing.

Dr. Paiman initially discovered the Brain Treatment Center after hearing about their treatment modalities for traumatic brain injury (TBI). This was very personal, as her husband, a United States Army veteran, received a TBI in Afghanistan. She learned more about the conditions our heroes suffer from, like PTSD, depression, and TBIs, and how MeRT can drastically improve symptoms.

From there, Dr. Paiman discovered how MeRT can help many conditions. She has since worked with adults and children suffering from anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, COVID-19, insomnia, and more.

She has an extensive history of working in the healthcare field, including a career as a Registered Nurse prior to pursuing medicine. As a nurse, she learned the importance of bedside manner. Currently, she is a candidate for Early Intervention mentor roles.  

Our clinic will be able to provide you with all of the documents you would need to submit to your health insurance company for any possible reimbursement.

There have been some patients who have reported receiving some reimbursement for EEGs, clinical evaluations, and treatment, but this is largely dependent on your type of health coverage. Medicare patients have reported that their coverage does not reimburse for the treatment itself.

We accept all major credit cards and you can also apply for CareCredit.
