Benefits of Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a safe, well-studied and drug-free treatment that can help people gain greater control over the way their brain functions. It takes advantage of the brain’s ability to change, a phenomenon called neuroplasticity. Neurofeedback training helps reduce mental health symptoms, improve performance and promote a healthier and more balanced brain.

Leigh Brain & Spine electroencephalography (EEG) technology, neurofeedback provides instantaneous feedback to patients through sounds and video images. The goal is to teach patients how to inhibit certain brain wave frequencies and increase other frequency ranges, which ultimately leads to positive changes in physical and emotional states.

By providing a means to achieve better balance, neurofeedback can bring many benefits to individuals including reduced anxiety, depression, stress, muscle tension, pain and substance abuse cravings. It can also lead to improved focus and concentration, higher energy levels, more restful sleep and a better overall mood. It can even help those with developmental disorders such as autism, ADD and ADHD and other neurological conditions like seizures and migraines.

Unlike drug-based therapies, which often have unpleasant and/or unpredictable side effects, neurofeedback is drug-free. Moreover, the benefits of neurofeedback continue long after treatment sessions end because patients learn to self-regulate their brainwave patterns. As a result, neurofeedback can be used as an adjunct therapy to enhance the effectiveness of other therapies. It is important to note that results do vary from person to person. For this reason, it is critical to have a thorough initial evaluation and discussion with your healthcare provider before beginning neurofeedback training.
