Neurofeedback at Inspire Chiropractic & Wellness Studio
Would you like your brain to work more efficiently? Most people would, and we offer an effective, non-invasive way to do just that: neurofeedback. You can think of it as exercise for the brain. We offer this therapy through our top-of-the-line BrainCore System, which uses sensors placed on the scalp to detect the electrical currents your brain naturally produces.
These currents fall into four key frequency bands: Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta. Each band serves specific functions, but imbalances can lead to problems with thinking, emotions, behaviors, and physical processes. Neurofeedback works by helping regulate these dysregulated brainwave patterns.
How Your Brain Waves Affect Daily Life
Every activity you do requires different parts of your brain to work at different speeds:
- Beta waves help with focus and problem-solving.
- Alpha waves promote relaxation and calmness.
- Delta waves are crucial for deep sleep.
When your brain moves between these states effortlessly, you feel more focused, relaxed, and well-rested. Neurofeedback training helps your brain naturally improve this process over time.
What to Expect in a Neurofeedback Session
During a session, small sensors are placed on your scalp to monitor brainwave activity. You’ll just sit back and watch a TV show or movie of your choice while the BrainCore system detects when your brain is functioning optimally.
When your brainwaves are well-regulated, the video plays clearly. If they become unbalanced, the screen dims slightly—giving your brain real-time feedback to adjust and improve. Over multiple sessions, this positive reinforcement helps create healthier neural pathways.
Your Personalized Neurofeedback Plan
We take a structured approach to neurofeedback, ensuring that each plan is tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Assessment – You’ll complete a short online questionnaire about your symptoms and health history. This confidential process takes only 15-20 minutes but provides crucial information that helps us understand your unique challenges and goals.
- QEEG Brain Mapping – This painless electroencephalogram (EEG) test records electrical activity and brainwave frequencies. A quantitative EEG (QEEG), used by our practice applies sophisticated mathematical and statistical analysis to compare EEG results to age- and gender-controlled norms. Then, while comfortably seated in a recliner, you’ll wear a special cap that measures electrical activity across key regions of your brain during both eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions. The process takes 15-20 minutes to complete.
- Review of Findings – A few days after completing the QEEG, we’ll have you come in to review your brain map results. The detailed multi-page report illustrates your brain performance. Your doctor will discuss how the QEEG results relate to your symptoms, recommend a treatment plan, and answer any remaining questions. After that, you can choose a plan and schedule your first neurofeedback session.
- Training Sessions – Whether in-office or at home, each session lasts about 30 minutes and gradually helps retrain your brain for better function. During these sessions, you’ll watch a program of your choice while sensors provide real-time feedback, positively reinforcing optimal brainwave patterns and creating new neural pathways.
- Tracking Progress – We monitor your results through symptom tracking and follow-up brain mapping to ensure you’re getting the most out of treatment. The treatment is considered complete when you’ve finished your prescribed course and report satisfactory improvements in the symptoms that initially brought you in.
