Overview
At Axon Integrative Health, we’re passionate about harnessing the power of the brain to heal and thrive. Neurofeedback therapy, guided by qEEG brain mapping, is one of the most effective tools we use to help clients optimize their brain health and achieve lasting relief from various conditions. Imagine your brain as an orchestra. Each instrument (or brainwave) needs to play its part at the right time to create a harmonious symphony. When one section is out of tune, it disrupts the entire piece—this is where neurofeedback comes in to help.
What Are Brainwaves, and What Do They Mean to Me?
Your brain is a busy hub of electrical activity, producing patterns called brainwaves. These waves come in different speeds, much like gears in a car, each suited for specific tasks:
- Delta waves are the slowest, like first gear, and dominate during deep sleep and restoration.
- Theta waves are dreamy and reflective, aiding creativity and daydreaming.
- Alpha waves help you relax and reset, like cruising on a calm highway.
- Beta waves are the fast-paced go-getters, keeping you alert and focused.
- Gamma waves are the top gear, associated with high-level cognition and learning.
When these brainwaves are balanced, you’re able to adapt and respond to life’s challenges with ease. If they’re out of sync, it can lead to issues like poor focus, anxiety, depression, or difficulty recovering from trauma.
What Is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is like a personalized workout for your brain. Using real-time feedback from a qEEG brain map—a sort of GPS for your brain’s activity—we can identify areas that may be overactive or underactive. During a neurofeedback session, you’ll sit back and relax while your brain “plays” a game or watches a video that responds to its activity. Over time, this feedback helps your brain learn to self-regulate, improving function and promoting resilience.
What Does Neurofeedback Help?
Neurofeedback has shown remarkable benefits for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Supporting brain recovery and rewiring neural pathways.
- Dysautonomia, POTs: Regulate the nervous system, helping to encourage balance of the autonomic nervous system, blood regulation, and gut health.
- Anxiety, Stress, and Depression: Calming overactive fight-or-flight responses and improving emotional balance.
- Sleep Issues: Encouraging restful sleep by retraining the brain’s natural rhythms.
- Focus and Attention Problems: Enhancing concentration and reducing distractions, ideal for ADHD.
- Chronic Pain and CRPS: Training the brain-body connection to restore proper communication and signaling, reducing pain and restoring function.
- Functional Neurological Disorder (FND): Positively changing how the brain processes trauma and it’s relation to the brain-body connection.
- Chronic Illnesses: Managing symptoms of Lyme disease, mold toxicity, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson’s disease (PD).
- Dementia and Cognitive Decline: Supporting memory and mental clarity.
- Trauma and PTSD: Helping the brain process and integrate past experiences for greater calm and resilience.
How Can Neurofeedback Help Me?
Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or simply want to enhance your brain’s performance, neurofeedback can be a game-changer. Here’s what it could mean for you:
- Better Brain Health: Optimize neural connections and improve your overall sense of well-being.
- Nervous System Regulation: Gain control over stress responses, bringing more calm and balance to your life.
- Improved Focus and Productivity: Sharpen your ability to concentrate and achieve your goals.
- Enhanced Emotional Resilience: Cultivate calmness and confidence, even in challenging situations.
- Restorative Sleep: Fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed.
