A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be shocking, painful, and overwhelming. And while some people fully recover from the initial trauma, many others face long-lasting effects. These lingering symptoms often include emotional difficulties, memory problems, persistent headaches, and more.
If you’ve suffered from a TBI, concussion, or any head injury and are still struggling with symptoms long after the event, you’re not alone — and there are options for relief.
The exceptional team at BrainCare Performance Center specializes in Magnetic e-resonance Therapy (MeRT). This highly personalized use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) restores optimal brain function and improves long-lasting symptoms after a TBI.
Book online or call the Carlsbad, California office to talk with their New Patient Coordinator today and learn if you’re a good candidate for MeRT.
“I’m back! My TBI turned me into someone I barely recognized. I was depressed, mean, and short-tempered. And I pushed through life filled with frustration and a deep sense of sadness that this was it. I just had to keep pushing through life with an overwhelming tiredness. I’m so glad I was wrong, and I think my direct reports and family are even more thankful. This treatment changed everything, and I am forever thankful.”

What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden, forceful impact damages the brain. This can occur from a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or when something goes through the skull and harms the brain. These injuries force the brain to bounce against the skull, damaging the delicate tissues.
A concussion is a mild TBI, yet it still damages nerves, bruises your brain, and disrupts your cognitive abilities and emotions.
A moderate to severe TBI may cause a skull fracture and other serious injuries, including:
• Severe brain bruising
• Bleeding under the skull
• Bleeding in or around the brain
• Fluid build-up around the brain
• Torn or stretched nerves
Your brain injuries may affect one area or the entire brain.

Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms and Aftereffects
You may think that once you’ve been treated for your head injury, that’s all there is to it. And for some people, that can be the case. But for many, symptoms last long after the original injury.
A mild TBI (concussion) can cause one or more of the following symptoms:
• Memory loss
• Confusion
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Nausea and vomiting
• Blurry or double vision
• Seizures
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Anger
• Sleep problems
• Balance problems
More severe TBIs cause all the above symptoms and others, such as difficulty speaking, loss of hearing, loss of bowel and bladder control, and muscle weakness or spasticity.

How MeRT Works to Ease Your TBI Symptoms
Treating long-term TBI symptoms can be complex, with unique symptoms for each person. That’s why MeRT is such a breakthrough.
We can begin MeRT treatment once your doctor clears you to return to activities or start rehabilitation. But even if your TBI happened a while ago, MeRT can help relieve your lingering symptoms.
We start with a detailed analysis of your brainwave patterns (qEEG) to determine where they are out of sync. With this information, we plan a tailored treatment program of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to address your specific TBI symptoms and help relieve them. This treatment can revitalize your brain function, restore cognitive health, and relieve TBI symptoms.
I’m two or three months past my last treatment, and I can honestly say that my brain is in a better place than it was before. The emotional highs and lows that I was living with have stabilized. I found it to be a very effective treatment. My cognition took off during that period, and it hasn’t slowed down since.”
