Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) brings unique challenges that deeply impact not only individuals but also their families. At Brain Treatment Center Ashburn, we’re committed to supporting these individuals through MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy)—an innovative, individualized therapy that has shown promise in improving symptoms related to ASD. Our approach isn’t just about addressing behaviors but enhancing overall quality of life, helping each individual reach their potential in a meaningful way.
How MeRT Makes a Difference for ASD
MeRT is a specialized type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that uses non-invasive, customized magnetic pulses to improve connectivity and activity in the brain. By analyzing each person’s unique brainwave patterns, we can adjust treatment to support areas associated with ASD-related symptoms, like social engagement, communication, and emotional regulation.
Studies have suggested MeRT’s potential in treating specific ASD-related challenges, helping improve social interactions, and reducing anxiety in social contexts, along with supporting developmental progress in areas like focus and emotional response. To learn more about the evidence behind MeRT for ASD, take a look at our MeRT research information page that highlights key findings.
Brain Treatment Center Ashburn: A Holistic Approach to ASD
Our center offers more than just MeRT—we focus on a holistic approach to health. Alongside MeRT therapy, we also provide a comprehensive functional health program that examines over 400 biomarkers, covering critical areas of physical and neurological health. This assessment is tailored to the individual, helping us understand underlying factors that may contribute to ASD symptoms.
Functional Health Testing: A Comprehensive Look at Wellness
Through advanced functional health testing, we’re able to gain valuable insights into areas that may impact an individual’s overall well-being, such as:
• Food sensitivities: Identifying inflammatory reactions that could affect behavior and comfort.
• Environmental toxin exposure: Understanding the impact of toxins that might disrupt neurological functions.
• Gut health and microbiome: Exploring digestive health, a key factor for many individuals with ASD.
• Vitamin and mineral levels: Ensuring nutrients essential for cognitive function are at optimal levels.
• Genomic and enzyme function: Personalizing care by identifying any genetic factors affecting wellness.
• Mitochondrial, metabolic, and cellular health: Supporting energy production and healthy brain activity.
This program not only adds to the success of MeRT therapy but provides families with actionable insights into what can help their loved one feel and function better day-to-day.
Taking the First Step Toward Healing
Choosing the right support for ASD can feel overwhelming, but with our integrated approach combining MeRT and functional health insights, we’re here to help individuals and families achieve a higher quality of life. Whether through subtle improvements in mood or significant changes in social engagement, our mission is to empower meaningful progress for each person.
