Neurofeedback is a therapeutic training tool that helps to exercise, strengthen, calm, and stabilize the brain. Using special computer-generated games, the brain learns to adjust certain brainwave activities for improved functioning. Over time, the brain learns to function with greater control and stability.
This non-invasive, drug-free, safe, and effective form of treatment helps to create healthy brain functioning. Cited by numerous research studies, neurofeedback has helped people with many conditions when no other therapies seem to work.
Over 2,000 health professionals now use neurofeedback as an adjunct to existing therapies. Genetic predispositions, prolonged stress, physical and psychological trauma and/or substance abuse can alter the central nervous system, pushing it out of normal range into deregulation. Research has indicated that specific brainwave imbalances are associated with many conditions such as: Anxiety, Asperger's Syndrome, Attention Deficit/H.D., Attachment Disorder, Autism, Bed-wetting, Cerebral Palsy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Depression, Headaches, Insomnia, Learning Disabilities, Mild organic brain trauma, Migraines, Obsessional Thinking, Oppositional Defiance, P.M.S., Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Stress-related Disorders.
Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG) is a highly sensitive and sophisticated assessment tool used to evaluate a persons brainwaives. qEEG is somtimes reffered to as brain mapping, qEEG measures electrical patterns at the surface of the scalp. A patient's performance can be statistically compared to determine whether or not brain functions are abnormal, to what degree, in what location, and in which frequency bands
