TRICARE covers mental health care for active-duty military service members, retirees, and their families. Although coverage is wide-ranging and comprehensive, specifics vary depending on your TRICARE plan and your location. Some services may require a referral or preauthorization.
Our treatments don’t require sedation or the use of any drugs or medications.
All of the equipment used in our treatment protocols is fully cleared through the FDA.
Our protocols use magnetic pulses to retrain brain activity, which are non-invasive and pain-free.
Our sophisticated diagnostic tools include an EEG brain scan that reveals your brain wave function, activity, and performance. We also use a comprehensive cognitive brain assessment from Cambridge Brain Science. In some cases, an MRI is also done.
These tests are then reviewed by Dr. Mark Liker for evaluation. Then, once diagnostics are complete and evaluated, you will have a one-on-one review to discuss our findings.
At BrainStim, we provide gentle, non-invasive, drug-free treatments to optimize brain function.
Using precise diagnostic testing we can identify patterns that may indicate differences from normal brain function. We then tailor your treatment to address those areas and improve brainwave connectivity and function. We do this all with care, compassion, and dedication to your health and wellness.
Patients with PTSD have brain markers that we can see in their EEG studies. These markers cause disruptions in the brain. We can treat those disruptions and strengthen healthy brainwave activity. And we have seen some incredible results with this treatment.
TMS can also help relieve chronic pain by modifying the neural circuits associated with pain signaling.
When a patient suffers from anxiety, they will usually show an imbalance in brainwave activity. With TMS, we work to identify imbalances and strengthen healthy brainwave activity in order to reduce anxiety symptoms.
Highly individualized TMS can help relieve depression, particularly when other treatments have achieved little or no results or when drugs have caused unwanted side effects. Additionally, TMS is FDA-cleared to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD).
How the SAINT Protocol Differs from Standard Protocol TMS to Treat Depression
Instead of the traditional six weeks of treatment with standard TMS, SAINT treatment lasts a total of five days. This is due to the type of TMS used and the precise targeting of that treatment.
The SAINT protocol delivers 1800 pulses per session instead of 600 with standard TMS.
In the Stanford study, researchers found that 90.5% of the participants in the treatment group were no longer depressed
Patients receive 10 sessions per day, each lasting approximately 10 minutes, instead of one per day lasting approximately 37 minutes.
Each session is separated by a period of 50 minutes, so the sessions build upon each other and amplify the antidepressant effect.
In essence, a patient receives the same “dose” of brain stimulation but in much shorter treatment sessions and over a condensed period.
The other key to the SAINT protocol is the specificity of the treatment target. In the Stanford study, researchers used a functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) to narrow in on the precise area to target in each patient’s brain. They then placed the TMS coil in the exact location to best inhibit a deep structure of the brain called the subgenual cingulate cortex, which is overactive in people experiencing depression.
The results from this cutting-edge treatment protocol have been so impressive that the FDA has now cleared the SAINT protocol for commercial application .
I have been struggling with insomnia for the past 6 years. Most doctors have just prescribed me medications with horrible side effects. I then found Brainstim Centers. I received 36 treatments and I could not have imagined such improvement in my sleep. I went from averaging 4 hours of sleep a night to 8 hours a night after the treatment. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Special shout-out to Christy and Alex.
TMS treatments here were VERY helpful to my daughter! She noticed a lot of improvement in focus and depression symptoms. The staff are very friendly and caring. Their follow-up is also exceptional, as they maintain relationships with their patients long after treatments are completed. We are so very appreciative of all they have done for her!!
