SERVICES FOR VETERANS AND
ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY
An estimated 15.2%-22.8% of troops returning from service have sustained at least one Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). That means about 320,000 individuals have experienced the dizziness, headache, memory loss, and other symptoms that accompany a TBI, leaving them at risk for post-concussive syndrome (PCS) or future neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, CTE, or Parkinson’s.
As a veteran or active military member, you may have experienced numerous stressful situations during your time in service. These experiences can have a lasting impact on your mental and cognitive health, leading to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. At Kaizen Brain Center, we specialize in helping veterans and active military members improve their brain health and overall well-being.
Our team of experts understands the unique challenges that veterans and active military members face when it comes to brain health. We provide personalized treatment plans that are tailored to each individual’s specific needs and goals. Our approach combines innovative treatments such as Spravato (Inhaled Ketamine), TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), neurofeedback, with other evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness training and lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise and sleep)
TMS is another non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. This can help improve symptoms of depression and anxiety by increasing the activity of the prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain that is associated with mood regulation.
Ketamine can help relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that trains your brain to function more efficiently. By monitoring your brain waves in real-time, we can identify areas of the brain that may be underactive or overactive and provide real-time feedback to help you learn how to regulate your brain activity. This can help improve symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression, as well as enhance cognitive function.

In addition to these advanced treatments, we also offer evidence-based therapies such as CBT and mindfulness training. CBT can help you identify negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Mindfulness training can help you learn how to focus your attention and reduce stress and anxiety.
