What is Neurofeedback? Neurofeedback is a revolutionary brain training technique that can be utilized to work toward cognitive improvement. Neurofeedback involves training your brainwave patterns to help you feel more calm, relaxed, focused, and alert and in this blog post, we explore 5 reasons why it’s worth considering.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Let’s quickly explore the most popular alternatives. Traditional talk-based therapy aims to support you cognitively. There is often an emphasis on changing your thoughts, feelings, and perspectives to improve your symptoms. Medication targets neurotransmitters to improve chemical imbalances which can also improve the way you feel. These two methods may provide relief to some, but what if therapy and medication are not making a difference? This is where Neurofeedback shines. Neurofeedback is able to look at the brain holistically by recording, analyzing, and creating personalized training programs based on your brainwave patterns to improve your quality of life.

ANOTHER TREATMENT OPTION

We believe that traditional therapy and medication are essential options for people to consider when they are not feeling well. All forms of support take time and patience for them to start making a difference. With that being said, if you feel like you have talked about your problems endlessly and tried every medication, it may be time to consider additional supports like Neurofeedback.

SIDE-EFFECTS OF MEDICATION

As we have mentioned above, medication is an incredibly important option to try out when recommended by your doctor. There are those that still struggle once on medication and this can happen for a number of reasons. Medication may work at the start, but as your body gets used to it you may have to increase dosages or switch medications. The side-effects of one drug need to be supported by another (e.g ADHD medications may cause anxiousness, so you may need to start a round of antianxiety medication which may have its own set of side-effects). Neurofeedback is a great option for those uncertain about trying medication and how possible side-effects.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Since Neurofeedback rewards the brain’s positive brainwave activity, it helps the brain learn and change the way it functions. The brain has the innate ability to rewire and change itself when presented with learning opportunities. This principle is known as Neuroplasticity. Once sufficient learning is done, the brain finds a more optimal way of functioning and these results are long-lasting.

CONCLUSION

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, long-lasting option that provides a new way to analyze, address, and support the symptoms you may be struggling with to improve your quality of life.
