Then he Tried a NEW Treatment for his Traumatic Brain Injury.
David suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2011. As a result of his injuries, he had become unable to help his wife care for their home or their two young children. His persistent symptoms included:
- severe daily headaches
- intense neck pain
- severe light sensitivity
- tension headaches that radiated into his jaw
- nausea
- acid reflux
- sciatica in his left leg
- excessive sweating with no physical exertion
- poor or no sleep
- angry outbursts
- uncontrollable anxiety
- deep depression
- low concentration and memory loss
He was desperate.
Everything changed when I started treatment. Within two weeks, I was sleeping better. I was off all 12 of the meds I was on when I began treatment, and I was starting to enjoy life again. After the first month, I was socializing with people again. I was able to work out for the first time in years, and I started to help my wife with the bills and our budget. As I write this, I completed my sixth week of treatment. I have had a 60–70% reduction of the symptoms I listed above and have a whole new lease on life. I can focus and feel good about myself. My confidence is back. I laugh again. Most importantly, I can feel the love for and from my family again.”

What is TBI?
MeRT Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury or Concussion
MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, is a cutting-edge treatment that combines:
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS, an FDA cleared therapy),
- Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG), and
-
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) to analyze and treat tailored to each patient’s unique brain pattern.
I’m two or three months past my last treatment, and I can honestly say my brain is in a better place than it was before. The emotional highs and lows I was living with have stabilized. My cognition took off during that period, and it hasn’t slowed down since.” – Nick Hardwick (Retired NFL Center, Chargers)

“The brain seems to be responding to these injuries in the same way…”
“What we’re finding is that the brain responds to insult the same way. It can be chronic sleep deprivation or the mechanical injury of head-to-head contact on a football field. Additionally, the brain can be exposed to repeated blast injuries in the military. Or, it can be from a blow to the head of any kind. The brain seems to be responding to these injuries the same way. …

Do you have a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Concussion?

Some of the more common symptoms that can occur with a Traumatic Brain Injury or Concussion include:
- Loss of consciousness
- Headaches
- Fatigue or lethargy
- Dilated pupils and vision changes
- Dizziness
- Memory problems
- Confusion
- Cognitive decline

Often a TBI can cause brain swelling, hematoma (blood clot), or bleeding within the brain. Sometimes it can be life-threatening. Anyone with a TBI or concussion of any kind should go to the emergency room as soon as possible. Early intervention is crucial. This is to help avoid complications and to avoid the injury from worsening.
What are Some of the Long-term Effects of TBI/Concussion?
TBI produces both acute and more chronic consequences that lead to permanent disabilities. This can increase long-term mortality and reduced life expectancy.”

TBI Treatment: What to Expect on your First Visit
Starting as a new patient at Summit Brain Health initially involves two appointments, both of which are about 45 minutes to an hour in length. Your first appointment is when your testing takes place, and the second appointment is when you have your consultation with Dr. Geraci.
Testing
At the first appointment, we will collect your new patient paperwork, and our neurotechnician will complete your qEEG and EKG testing. During this test, we place a cap on your head to measure the electrical activity in your brain and map out any areas not performing as they should. We also place a lead on your chest to capture the EKG data.
This testing is simple and painless, and we perform it right here in our office, then send the data to our scientists and clinical teams. They, along with Dr. Geraci, carefully analyze the test results to identify any dysregulation occurring in the brain. Based on their analysis, we develop a treatment plan customized to your specific condition and schedule your treatment.
Consultation and Assessment
Your second appointment, after your qEEG/EKG, is a consultation with Dr. Geraci. He will be able to answer any questions that you may have and let you know more about what to expect during your treatment. He will also go over your medical history, along with symptoms.
Treatment begins on a Monday and ends on a Friday each week. We repeat the qEEG after every 10 treatments. We also monitor clinical progress. Appointments are 30-40 minutes long. We closely monitor any clinical changes being realized by the patient, and the qEEG/EKG confirms what changes are occurring in the brain. The treatment sessions generally last 30-45 minutes each day.
If you are a patient who will be traveling from out of town, we aim to schedule your qEEG/EKG on a Friday, then schedule your consultation and first treatment session for the following Monday.
The full duration of treatment usually lasts for 6 weeks.
For patients who prefer to have their first and second appointments before deciding to move forward with treatment, we are happy to work with you on this.
Insurance Coverage
We do not accept insurance at our clinic, nor do we file it on your behalf. We are happy to provide you with the appropriate paperwork at the end of your treatment period so that you can submit it to your insurance company to see if they will provide any reimbursement. Please note, however, that neither Medicare nor Medicaid offer any reimbursement coverage for MeRT treatment.

Life can be frustrating and isolating for those affected by brain disorders—and their loved ones. In fact, many have lost hope for any relief. However, there IS hope: MeRT has helped many patients restore their brain function, reclaim their lives, and feel passionate about living again.
We understand what you may be experiencing, and our goal is to help guide you through the healing process. To that end, we will provide you with quality care in a warm and compassionate environment.
It’s important to note that many of the clinicians and technicians employed by various clinics that offer MeRT have gone through treatment protocols themselves and have realized first-hand what the treatment has done for them. As a result, they are passionate about helping you to heal.
Our New Patient Coordinator is available to answer questions about how MeRT can help you or your child. During your call, she’ll take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, explain costs, and put your mind at ease. She can also assist you in getting scheduled should you decide to move forward with treatment.
