“A different person arises out of a regulated brain”

What is Neurofeedback?
Also known as EEG biofeedback, neurofeedback is a non-invasive, research-supported learning technology to restore balance and regulate brain activity. Neurofeedback uses computer technology to measure brain waves and provide feedback signals. This passive conditioning trains a dysregulated brain to exhibit more regular activity to treat and eliminate target symptoms by conditioning specific patterns of electrical wave activity in particular regions of the brain. Too much or too little of these different brain waves can result in many undesirable symptoms, including but not limited to:
Anxiety
Depression
Difficulty with Attention
Memory Issues
Poor Sleep
Emotional Dysregulation
Brain Fog
Dissociation
Is Neurofeedback Effective?
Many studies have been conducted on neurofeedback and its effectiveness in treating a wide variety of issues.
The success rate commonly quoted by clinicians and published scientific research for neurofeedback for specific conditions is 75%-80%, although additional scientific research is needed.
Research shows neurofeedback is a safe and non-invasive procedure that demonstrates improvement in the treatment of many problems and disorders such as :
ADHD
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Acute & Developmental Trauma
Depression
Epilepsy
ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
Bipolar Disorder
PTSD
Learning disorders (dyslexia, apraxia and more)
Post-stroke recovery
Traumatic Brain Injury
Parkinson’s
Chronic pain
“Neurofeedback should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas. In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would be universally accepted and widely used.”
