Conditions We Treat
Neurofeedback can retrain your brain to repair and rebalance itself so that you can function at your best—safely and without drugs. For those who suffer with ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, PTSD, learning disabilities, and more, neurofeedback works time and time again. Experience the long-lasting, healthy changes you’ve been yearning for!
Anxiety
Anxiety manifests differently for everybody. It can appear as excessive worrying, a fear of terrible things happening, racing negative thoughts and nagging doubts that won’t go away. Research into neurofeedback and anxiety has indicated the particular areas that need re-regulating to correct and remove anxiety from the brain. Neurofeedback uses the brain’s own resources to re-train the areas that control the stress and anxiety response. Through repetition and reinforcement, neurofeedback training helps to reduce feelings of anxiety to get you living a better, healthier life.
ADHD
Characteristics of ADHD such as difficulty completing tasks and poor concentration can be indications that there are areas of the brain that are out of balance. Whether the brainwaves are too fast or too slow, or too many or too few, all can cause multiple disruptive symptoms. Research into neurofeedback and ADHD in both children and adults has shown clear effectiveness in improving focus and attention, as well as other beneficial effects. Neurofeedback is a safe, medication-free method that can alleviate symptoms with little to no side effect.
Peak Performance
Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance under pressure or a professional seeking greater mental clarity, neurofeedback can help to develop these optimal brain states. Peak performance neurofeedback can also benefit those seeking to respond more calmly and efficiently to life’s stressors. After repeated sessions, the brain begins to learn new patterns associated with enhanced focus and cognitive flexibility. These changes can not only elevate professional performance, but can also lead to a better overall quality of life.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), such as impaired communication and social interaction, focusing issues, and low tolerance for change can lead to a limited quality of life. While medication can help to manage these symptoms, the relief generally isn’t long-lasting and can be accompanied by unwanted side effects. Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive, medication-free treatment that can reduce ASD symptoms and can even have a positive impact on co-occuring disorders.
Depression
Depression robs sufferers of life’s joys and creates the feeling of being trapped inside of one’s self. These feelings can become overwhelming and medication can help, but is often accompanied by unpleasant side effects. Whether the depression is from a genetic predisposition, trauma-related, or situational, neurofeedback can be helpful—without adverse effects. Neurofeedback teaches the brain, through repetition and reinforcement, to reorganize the brainwave patterns related to mood regulation. After repeated sessions, the brain learns to create these patterns on its own, decreasing symptoms of depression.
Migraines
Migraine sufferers know that when the migraine comes, the pain is all consuming. And even after the headache ends, the “fogginess’ or “migraine hangover” can continue for up to a day. After examining the qEEG, brain waves and areas can be identified that may be contributing to migraine frequency and intensity. By working in these areas, neurofeedback can help to reduce, and sometimes eliminate, migraine headaches. After repeated sessions, the brain learns to better modulate its brainwaves on its own, leading to a lessening of post migraine symptoms. This process is simple, painless, and non-invasive.
Sleep Disorders
About 1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep, robbing their bodies of the time needed for the brain to perform vital repair functions. Not getting enough or getting poor quality sleep can lead to minor effects like tiredness or greater consequences such as cognitive decline and higher risk of chronic health conditions. Neurofeedback can train your brain to better modulate the regulatory mechanisms necessary for deep and restful sleep. In addition to a personalized neurofeedback plan, an assessment of other factors contributing to bad sleep can be done. Combined with the neurofeedback, changes such as diet and exercise can help to get your sleep back on track.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Unlike a bruise on the outside of the body, there is no space for the brain to swell; therefore, any head injury can cause inflammation in the brain. This inflammation can be a result of numerous small injuries, such as head hits whilte playing sports, some so small as to go unnoticed until symptoms appear. Whether you’re looking to alleviate symptoms from a mild to severe TBI, neurofeedback can work to repair the inflammation and diminish associated problems such as fogginess, difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly, headaches, and more.
