ADHD

A Clinically Proven, Natural Approach

Neurofeedback is a natural approach that is backed by more than 50 years of research and it addresses the underlying factors that contribute to ADHD.

What does ADHD look like?

How can Neurofeedback help ADHD?

The goal of all Neurofeedback is to transform an unhealthy, abnormal brainwave pattern into a normal, healthy, organized pattern. By doing this, the brain becomes more stable and is able to operate optimally and efficiently.

There are answers, natural corrective solutions exist. Neurofeedback therapy specialists are able to map your brain, see exactly where the imbalance is and to what extent.

Anxiety

There Is Another Option

Neurofeedback is a solution that is able to monitor your brain function and know if you need more or less key neurotransmitters.

Autism

A Natural Approach

The symptoms of ASD (autism spectrum disorder) usually begin to emerge by age 2 or 3. This may include the inability to perceive sights and sounds adequately, resistance to change in daily routines, poor motor skills, repetitive behaviors or movements, hyper-focus on one thing, and loud outbursts.

Studies indicate that individuals with ASD have excessive connectivity in some areas of the brain and deficient connectivity in others.

What causes autism?

It develops as a result of a complex combination of factors and research is inconclusive of one main source. Studies show an accelerated increase of stress to the developing toddlers system as a result of toxic burden to the body and various other factors. The increased burden can begin in utero and beyond including exposure to vaccines, environment, diet, lifestyle, inflammation, and genetics. These all can add to the development of ASD.

Depression

Break Free From Depression and Get Your Life Back

If you have been struggling with depression, you’re not alone. More than 19 million adults suffer from depression. If you are feeling overwhelmed, worn down, fatigued, sad, isolated, foggy-brained, or disconnected, these are classic signs and symptoms that accompany depression. Research at Keck Imaging Labs at the University of Wisconsin shows that depressed people experience a reduction of activity in the left side of the brain. This is the side responsible for engaging in positive moods. When the brainwaves are abnormal, your mood can become abnormal.

Why is depression not simple?

This disorder is more than just the “blues,” or being “down in the dumps”. We all experience feelings of sadness from time to time, and this is normal and healthy. The problem arises when the sadness doesn’t stop, it doesn’t lift and it is not just temporary. This is when the problems can set in impacting every area of your life from eating and sleeping to your work, relationships, and your sense of self.

What factors are involved in depression?

Depression can develop from a complex combination of factors. These include genetics, brain chemistry, lifestyle, environment, personality, and the role that stress plays in exacerbating these elements, impacting key areas of the brain. When the left, prefrontal cortex is impacted, which operates to get us engaging in positive moods and effective social interactions, your mood can change. When the left side of the brain wave activity slows down we naturally pull away from others and lose interest in things. We want to withdraw to our bed and just lay there. Our moods become very negative. Energy is low. We either can’t sleep at all or we sleep too much. It is the way our biology protects itself when the stress and strain of life become overwhelming. A short mild depression is not necessarily a bad thing or abnormal for most people. But when it goes on for more than two weeks and begins to undermine our daily living, then it is a serious problem.

How can Neurofeedback help depression?

Neurofeedback is a drug-free, non-invasive natural approach to depression. In dealing with depression many Neurofeedback therapists place an electrode on the scalp over each side of the brain and train the individual to increase alpha brain waves on the right side while reducing them on the left. As the left side of the brain becomes more active, individuals begin to feel more positive in their moods. The abnormal brainwave activity diminishes over a period of training sessions improving brainwave patterns. When function is improved, mood is improved and outcomes are optimized.

Insomnia & Sleeplessness

Sleep Difficulties Have a Variety of Contributors

Many complex factors contribute to sleeplessness and insomnia including stress, anxiety, trauma, and habitual over-thinking resulting in abnormal brain wave function.

How bad is it for me, if I can’t sleep?

Insomnia can disrupt daily life by causing irritability, exhaustion, tiredness, and difficulty staying focused. If being tired all of the time isn’t bad enough, this affliction is also believed to be a risk factor for other diseases, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Chronic, or recurrent, insomnia is a widespread condition affecting nearly 10-15% of the global population. The longer you struggle with this, the harder it becomes to treat. That’s why it’s important to learn how to deal with insomnia as soon as symptoms present themselves and to seek medical attention for evaluation and diagnosis as early as possible.

Why am I tired all of the time?

How can I restore sleep naturally?

Neurofeedback therapy can make a powerful, positive impact on your ability to get a good night’s sleep. This technology helps to identify the brainwave imbalance that may be contributing to your inability to sleep. By retraining the brain and improving brainwave function in those key areas affected by insomnia, the brain is rewarded through Neurofeedback for creating healthier patterns. As the brain learns new responses, new patterns and pathways develop improving brainwave function as you begin to sleep better, longer.

Dementia

Improve Your Memory & Decrease Your Risk of Dementia

If you are beginning to notice the signs of brain fog, forgetfulness, declining cognitive function, mixing up your words, asking the same questions repeatedly or taking longer to perform normal tasks, these are all signs and symptoms of memory loss. These are early warning signs of abnormal brainwave function that are often associated with the inability to process information optimally. If left untreated, this can lead to dementia.

Migraines

Stop Suffering From Migraines Naturally With Neurofeedback

Clinical research has shown Neurofeedback to be one of the most effective solutions for the symptoms of migraines. Restore balance and function naturally.

How are migraines triggered?

What is causing my pain and how do I stop it?

Migraines create a high-stress state in your brain, which causes an increase in sympathetic response and a decrease in parasympathetic response. Simply stated, this means brainwave imbalance which can negatively impact normal brainwave function. If the stressful trigger of the migraine continues, the response becomes chronic. Once ongoing, it is harder and harder for your brain to re-regulate or normalize function.

How can Neurofeedback help my migraines?

Neurofeedback is a scientifically proven system that retrains the brain to create new patterns and responses to incoming triggers and stressors. This new response improves brainwave activity and function. The result is a calmer, happier, healthier brain that has fewer symptoms and flare-ups. Studies have shown more than a 54% rate of total cessation of pain and symptoms, and 99% of patients reported a decrease in pain and symptoms. When balance and function are restored, your outcomes are optimized and your health improved.

Peak Performance

Working Towards Peak Performance

You work your body — what about your mind?

Whether you are a professional athlete, a top executive, a weekend warrior, a student-athlete, a professional, or a performer, you know that peak performance is essential to your success. But how do you achieve peak performance? The more that is at stake, the greater the need for not only physical training but also brain training.

How do I gain the competitive edge?

Why does performance drop?

Let’s face it, performing at your peak comes with high demands. These physical, mental, and emotional impacts often trigger the fight or flight response within your body, which will steal your ability to succeed. When you are in a prolonged state of stress due to the high demands of performing at optimal states, your brain function is impacted. The longer the impact, the greater the imbalance, which leads to decreased function and performance.

How can Neurofeedback improve performance?

Your brain is not hardwired. In fact, it has the ability to create new neural pathways, yes your brain can learn, grow and improve all through life as a result of neuroplasticity. When it comes to improving performance, Neurofeedback is a scientifically proven system that trains the brain and allows it to create new pathways and connections. When this occurs, brainwaves are optimized which improves communication and function throughout the brain and body.

A fit body needs a fit brain — Neurofeedback can help you train your brain as well as your body, achieving total fitness.

What aspects of performance can Neurofeedback improve?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & Trauma

Neurofeedback Designed to Treat Trauma And PTSD

Trauma affects the body and brain in ways that change the underlying biology. Those who suffer from PTSD or trauma often wonder why it’s so difficult to move on from the past. Neurofeedback is a therapy that can help you address the underlying results of trauma or PTSD.

Substance Abuse Disorders

Breaking the Cycle of Addiction with Neurofeedback

Substance abuse disorders arise from addiction in the brain. Drugs cause structural changes in the brain that cause an affected person to keep abusing substances. This leads to a cycle of addiction, outside of the control of the user. Neurofeedback can help treat the underlying addiction.
