What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive therapy that helps regulate brainwave activity. By measuring brainwaves and providing real-time feedback, neurofeedback trains the brain to function more optimally, improving emotional regulation, cognitive performance, and overall mental health.

What are the benefits of Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback can improve:

• Focus and concentration

• Mood stability

• Sleep quality

• Stress resilience

• Memory and cognitive function It also enhances overall well-being and supports emotional regulation, helping people lead more balanced, fulfilling lives.

How does Neurofeedback work?

During a neurofeedback session, sensors are placed on your scalp to measure your brain’s electrical activity (EEG). The data is processed and displayed visually (such as through a game or video). When your brain activity aligns with desired patterns, you receive positive feedback, encouraging the brain to self-regulate and achieve balance.

What conditions can Neurofeedback treat?

Neurofeedback has been shown to help with various conditions, including:

• Anxiety and depression

• ADHD and learning disabilities

• Autism spectrum disorders

• Sleep disturbances

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• PTSD and trauma

• Chronic pain

• Cognitive decline or memory issues

• Peak performance enhancement for athletes, executives, and creatives

Is Neurofeedback safe?

Yes, Neurofeedback is a safe and non-invasive procedure. It has been used for over 50 years with no reported long-term side effects. Unlike medications, there are no chemicals involved, making it an excellent choice for people seeking natural healing methods.

How many sessions of Neurofeedback will I need?

The number of Neurofeedback sessions required varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people notice improvements within a few sessions, while others may need 20 to 40 sessions for optimal results. During your initial consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

Can Neurofeedback help with peak performance?

Yes, neurofeedback is often used by athletes, executives, and creatives to enhance focus, mental clarity, and stress management. By training the brain to operate in an optimal state, neurofeedback can improve attention, reaction times, and emotional resilience, helping individuals achieve peak performance.

What can I expect during a Neurofeedback session?

During a session, you’ll sit in a comfortable chair while sensors are placed on your scalp to monitor brainwave activity. You’ll engage in visual feedback, such as watching a movie or playing a simple game, while your brain adjusts its activity in response to positive feedback. The session typically lasts 30-60 minutes and is non-invasive and typically relaxing.

How does Neurofeedback differ from other brain optimization techniques?

Neurofeedback specifically targets brainwave patterns, giving you real-time feedback to train your brain for self-regulation. Unlike medication, which can alter brain chemistry temporarily, Neurofeedback promotes long-lasting changes by teaching your brain how to operate more efficiently. It can also be combined with other therapies such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for enhanced results.

Is Neurofeedback covered by insurance?

Neurofeedback is sometimes covered by insurance, particularly if it is used to treat conditions like ADHD, anxiety, or traumatic brain injury. However, coverage varies based on the provider and the specific treatment plan. Check with your insurance provider to determine if neurofeedback is covered for your condition.

Can children benefit from Neurofeedback?

Yes, neurofeedback is safe and effective for children, particularly for those with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, or learning disabilities. Children often find the feedback engaging and enjoy participating in the interactive nature of the sessions. 

How long do the benefits of Neurofeedback last?

The benefits of neurofeedback are often long-lasting because it teaches the brain to self-regulate, creating new, healthier neural patterns. Once these patterns are established, they tend to persist, though some individuals may benefit from occasional "tune-up" sessions to maintain results. 

How do I get started with Neurofeedback?

To start neurofeedback, schedule an initial consultation with our clinic. During this appointment, we’ll assess your goals, review your medical history, and create a customized treatment plan to ensure neurofeedback is tailored to your specific needs.
