WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?
Neurofeedback is a therapeutic training tool that helps to exercise, strengthen, calm, and stabilize the brain. Using special computer generated game, 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.

HOW IT WORKS
Brainwaves, recorded at the scalp by conductive electrodes, are used to interact with specially created computer games. Each game is designed to strengthen certain brainwave frequencies and/or decrease others at specific sites. Auditory and visual feedback reward the client as training goals are met. There are no medications involved, and the procedure is completely painless and non-invasive.

IS TREATMENT PERMANENT?
When brainwave frequencies move into the desired frequency patterns, symptoms may be greatly decreased or eliminated. Research has shown that the results are permanent in most cases. However, it may not be possible to predict how successful training may be for every individual, but a reasonable expectation of results can usually be assessed early in the course of training.

WHY NEUROFEEDBACK?
Over 2,000 health professionals now use neurofeedback as an adjunct to existing therapise. 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:
Attention Deficit/H.D., Attachment Disorder
Learning Disabilities, Autism, Aspergers
Stress-related Disorders, Cerebral Palsy
Insomnia, Chronic Pain
Bed-wetting, Headaches, Migraines
Depression, Anxiety
P.M.S., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Oppositional Defiance
Mild organic brain trauma, Disorder
Obsessional Thinking
