Neurofeedback

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback targets brainwaves to help train the brain to be more balanced and healthy. 

How does it work?

Electrodes are placed on the scalp to measure brainwaves, which are made up of the electrical activity of millions of neurons firing in your brain. There are different types of brainwaves and each is responsible for different mental functions such as mood, memory, movement, creativity and others. The electrodes send a signal from the brain to a computer that sends immediate feedback to the patient subconsciously modifies the brainwave function, thereby training them to work in a more desirable state. Even after the neurofeedback session has ended, the brainwaves continue to create new pathways, providing long-lasting results.

 What conditions does it treat?

Neurofeedback therapy can treat any conditions that contribute to wellbeing. It has been used to successfully treat conditions like ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, behavioral disorders, memory and sleep problems and PTSD.

What does a session look like and how long will it take?

The initial session is usually 1 to 1.5 hours as it involves the intake and history. The actual treatment lasts approximately 30-40 minutes. It’s recommended you do a minimum of 2 sessions each week, although more is encouraged for better results. Most conditions require roughly 40 sessions, although noticeable changes are often seen after 8-10.
