Better brain health starts here
Regardless of age, the brain has the ability to change and adapt.
This remarkable ability is known as neuroplasticity. Neurofeedback uses this natural process to help improve brain functioning.
During a session, sensors placed on the scalp measure the brain’s activity in real time. This information is translated into auditory and visual feedback through a simple video game. The brain is able to “see” when it is producing too much or too little of certain brainwave patterns and, through neuroplasticity, begins to adjust and regulate itself. Over time, this can lead to improved symptom control and greater brain resilience.
Think of neurofeedback as exercise for the brain. By strengthening areas that are not functioning efficiently or supporting areas we want to keep healthy, the brain can learn to operate more effectively overall.
Although it may sound intimidating at first, neurofeedback is gentle and non-invasive, and most people find the process enjoyable.
Our Philosophy
We believe that each individual's needs are unique and training should be customized to address those needs. By focusing on the specific brainwave frequencies and/or sensor placements needed for the individual, we see maximum outcomes and long-term gains. Bottom line - we do not have a "one size fits all" approach to intervention because that isn't how brains work!
Just as exercise strengthens muscles, neurofeedback is a powerful way to train and strengthen the brain. One of the most exciting aspects of neurofeedback is that once the brain learns these new patterns, the changes can be permanent.
At Northwest Neurofeedback, we pride ourselves in understanding the complexity of the individual and value the opportunity to work with our clients to improve their lives.
