Neurofeedback
A safe, effective treatment, neurofeedback restores your body to its natural balance
Your brain is adaptive and can correct itself and self-regulate with neurofeedback training. If you’re suffering from pain, anxiety, or certain illnesses, neurofeedback may be the answer for you.
Neurofeedback is a noninvasive, intrinsic learning process that trains your brain to restore its normal function by normalizing your brain’s electrical activity. We offer our neurofeedback training program under the supervision of Dr. Penny Montgomery, a pioneer and author in the field of neurofeedback.

How does neurofeedback work?
The brain “whispers” messages to the body through electrical impulses transmitted to the central nervous system. Sometimes these electrical impulses (brain waves) are disturbed, creating abnormal rhythmic patterns. When your brain continues to transmit these abnormal patterns, imbalances are created in your body. Since the body naturally desires balance, neurofeedback merely helps the brain bring itself and the body back into balance.
With neurofeedback equipment, these whispers from the brain are amplified and projected on a computer screen as they occur in the brain. This real-time feedback enables a skilled and precise interpretation of your brain-wave patterns.
Our neurofeedback coaches use Neuropathways™, the digital, real-time neurofeedback training program developed by Dr. Margaret E. Ayers. The electrical activity is recorded using scalp sensors, and advanced computer software allows us to see your brainwave activity on a computer screen.

Does neurofeedback hurt?
To see your brain-wave patterns on the computer screen, we connect sensors, or electrodes, to specific sites on your head. We place the sensors strategically on your head, because specific areas of your brain can be trained to normalize rhythmic patterns. The process is non-invasive and not painful at all.

How do I train my brain during neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is one of the most compelling examples of the body's ability to self-regulate and bring itself back into balance. It allows you to participate in your own health.
The high-speed neurofeedback equipment displays electrical patterns produced by your brain. Two of the most significant patterns are beta (fast) waves and theta (slow waves that ranges from 4 to 7 cycles a second). Generally, your goal is to inhibit excessive theta wave patterns and lower their amplitude. The computer helps you recognize normal patterns by producing audio and visual reinforcement when they occur. Your brain makes the appropriate corrections immediately.
The results of the training are permanent unless future injury occurs. Once your brain's normal patterns have been restored, neurofeedback training is no longer necessary. The effects of neurofeedback training are like training wheels on a bicycle. Once you learn to balance by yourself, the training wheels are no longer needed.

Can neurofeedback help my pain or illness?
Neurofeedback helps to improve functions such as concentration, short-term memory, speech, motor skills, sleep, energy level, and emotional balance. This learning process can improve function significantly when the following disorders are present:
- addictions
- ADHD
- aggressive behavior
- anxiety
- Asperger syndrome
- depression
- dyslexia
- epilepsy
- fibromyalgia
- immune dysfunction
- migraine headaches
- muscle spasms
- Parkinson’s disease
- post-stroke
- seizures
traumatic brain injury (concussions)
