Why use neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a safe, non-invasive method for resolving a wide variety of conditions. By training the brain and nervous system to function more effectively and efficiently, neurofeedback helps reduce or eliminate the underlying causes of many chronic conditions like ADHD, migraine headaches, sleep disorders, anxiety and more.

Neurofeedback training is an experiential process similar to learning to play a musical instrument or hit a tennis ball. The client practices various brain management skills by interacting with a computer based feedback system. The system monitors the brainwaves of the individual through sensors placed on the head. Information (feedback) is displayed to the client in an interesting, timely and meaningful way that encourages fast and effective changes.

For example, a client may “play” a computer game that responds to changes in brain activity. When the brain is working better the game moves more quickly and/or a rewarding sound or image appears.

		Just as the skills learned in riding a bicycle stay with you forever, the learning that takes place through neurofeedback training is also permanent. Once an individual learns to change brain and nervous system reactions, these skills become automatic, ready to call on anytime, anywhere.

Medications may provide temporary improvement in an individual’s symptoms, but often produce unwanted side effects and rarely correct the underlying causal factors. This necessitates the continued use of medications as long as the symptoms remain.

Neurofeedback is a training process that takes 20 to 40 sessions. Once those sessions are completed, the ongoing benefits continue indefinitely.
