MeRT Therapy for Sleep Disorders
in Houston
Discover the power of MeRT therapy—an innovative, non-invasive treatment for sleep disorders that optimizes brain function. Using personalized, EEG-guided rTMS, MeRT targets disrupted brainwave patterns linked to insomnia, restless sleep, and fatigue. By restoring healthy neural activity, MeRT helps improve sleep quality and overall well-being. With customized plans for each individual, MeRT offers hope for both children and adults struggling with sleep issues.
Understanding Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders impact millions of people across the U.S., and Houston is no exception. Whether it’s insomnia, sleep apnea, or chronic sleep deprivation, these conditions disrupt the 24-hour cycle that governs our circadian rhythms and can lead to serious health consequences.
Common Types and Causes
- Sleep apnea
- Restless leg syndrome
- Chronic insomnia
- Nighttime awakenings
- Disruption of sleep cycles
Common causes include stress hormone imbalances, neurological conditions, and injury to key neural circuits.
Impact on Health and Daily Life
Lack of quality sleep affects:
- Cognitive function and decision-making abilities
- Emotional stability and mood regulation
- Physical health, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and chronic disease
- Long-term neurological health
What is Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT)?
At Making It Possible (MIP) in Houston, Texas, we offer MeRT therapy—an innovative, non-invasive, and drug-free treatment rooted in neuroscience and supported by sophisticated diagnostics.
Overview of the MeRT Approach
MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, uses low-frequency magnetic fields to stimulate areas of the brain showing irregular brainwave activity. Through targeted magnetic pulses, we help improve brainwave synchronization—restoring optimal brain function and supporting the body’s natural sleep cycles.
How MeRT Differs from Conventional Treatments
- Tailored to each person
- Utilizes qEEG (quantitative EEG) and EKG to map brainwave activity
- Unlike medication, MeRT avoids side effects and supports restorative sleep naturally
Post-Treatment Care and Follow-up
Post-treatment care and follow-up are essential components of the MeRT therapy journey. Our dedicated team ensures that patients receive ongoing support and assessment after their treatment sessions. This commitment to continued care helps families track progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan, ensuring the best possible outcomes for each patient.
Steps Involved in MeRT Treatment
1. EEG/EKG Testing
- Initial qEEG and EKG testing to analyze electrical signals
- Review of brainwave recordings to pinpoint brain dysfunction
- Collection of patient intake paperwork
2. Initial Diagnostic Assessment
We conduct:
- One-on-one consultation with our experienced clinician
- Review of symptoms and sleep issues
- Identification of Delta wave pattern abnormalities
3. Personalized Treatment Protocols
- Individualized treatment plan
- Focused on your unique brain wave oscillations
- Informed by neuroscience and patient tolerance
4. Monitoring and Progress Evaluations
- Follow-up EEGs to measure the effects of treatment
- Adjustments to treatment parameters
- Tracking improvements in sleep quality, mood, and memory
Health Benefits of MeRT for Sleep Disorders
Improving Sleep Quality and Duration
- Increases time in REM sleep
- Encourages light sleep to deep sleep stage transitions
- Promotes consistent sleep schedules
Mitigating Cognitive Decline
- Boosts cognitive abilities
- Enhances decision-making abilities
- Supports memory retention in older adults
Reducing Mood Disturbances
- Stabilizes emotional highs
- Regulates stress levels by reducing elevated cortisol levels
- Improves mental health outcomes
The Role of Hormones in Sleep Regulation
Understanding Melatonin and Cortisol
- Melatonin, the sleep hormone, is produced by the pineal gland and helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle
- Cortisol, the stress hormone, must remain low at night for restful sleep
How MeRT Influences Hormonal Balance
- Aligns brainwave patterns to encourage healthy melatonin production
- Helps normalize cortisol levels through improved brain performance
Patient Experiences and Testimonials
Success Stories and Outcomes
Many MeRT patients in Houston report:- Improved quality of sleep
- A renewed lease on life
