NEUROFEEDBACK / BIOFEEDBACK
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is the process of training brainwaves into healthy patterns using modern computer technology. This non-invasive and drug-free approach uses brain imaging technology to record brainwave activity and thus identify unhealthy brainwave patterns. Once irregular patterns have been identified, they can be corrected using guided audio and visual feedback to help individuals self-regulate and optimize their brain function. This unique new technology has been used for decades and has proven effective in our clinic with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, and many other disorders.
The heart of this process is our Neuro-mapping system or brain map, which allows us to image the brain in real-time. This precise, objective information reveals different aspects of brain activity, for example, if the brain is running too fast, too slow, or has connectivity issues. The database then generates a training protocol to correct abnormal patterns using neurofeedback. Then, through repetition of training sessions, the brain learns how to make normal healthy patterns independently.
Functional neurology's goal is to improve the overall functioning of the nervous system, including the brain. Neurofeedback is the non-invasive approach that encourages the nervous system to process and integrate sensory input in organized and meaningful ways, ultimately enhancing the nervous system and brain's ability to function more adequately. Each adaptive response, as it provides feedback into the nervous system, encourages maturation and organization of the nervous system and brain at increasingly higher levels. Ultimately, the individual can interact with their environment more successfully and adaptively.
Here are five conditions that can be positively influenced through Neurofeedback:
1. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
2. Anxiety Disorders
3. Depression
4. Insomnia and Sleep Disorders
5. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
It must be noted that different conditions are associated with various brainwaves, independent of the Neuro-Mapping each individual receives of their brain. Therefore, each Neuro-Map is unique, and each patient's Neurofeedback protocol is specific to their needs. Still, regardless of the condition, neurofeedback's end goal is to regulate and modulate unhealthy brainwave patterns into healthy patterns that help a person's life or condition.
Neurofeedback for ADHD
For example, individuals with ADHD may have brainwave activity with high theta brainwaves and low beta waves. Theta brainwaves are slow brainwaves that are typically associated with daydreaming and sleepiness. Excessive theta wave activity in individuals with ADHD may contribute to difficulties with focus, impulse control, attention, and hyperactivity. While low beta waves may be associated with decreased alertness, concentration, and cognitive processing. A neurofeedback treatment helps self-regulate unhealthy brainwave activity and non-invasively assists the brain in shifting into healthier brainwave patterns which may help the symptoms of ADHD.
