What is Neurofeedback

The brain is constantly growing, changing, adapting, learning, and evolving.

TRADITIONAL NEUROFEEDBACK

WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?

NON-INVASIVE THERAPY

Neurofeedback is an educational tool used to promote relaxation. It is a non-invasive therapy (no scalpel required) that trains the brain to regulate itself and perform more efficiently. The brain learns how to speed up or slow down its frequency, resulting in improved brain function.

Neurofeedback is not a treatment for any specific condition. Instead, this process improves overall brain function, resulting in an improvement in many conditions and symptoms.

LOW ENERGY NEUROFEEDBACK SYSTEM (LENS)

Here at Gentle Currents, we use the Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS), a safe and effective neurofeedback therapy. Whereas traditional neurofeedback requires your involvement in retraining the brain, with LENS the software does all the work and removes blockages that may be causing your symptoms.

The goal is a more relaxed, less stressed, better functioning and focused individual.

MEDICAL AND NON-MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

Neurofeedback has medical and non-medical applications. Here are some of the conditions and symptoms that respond well to neurofeedback treatment:

  • Autism spectrum disorders/Asperger syndrome

  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Teeth grinding

BENEFITS

Because neurofeedback does not focus on curing a specific ailment, this unique technique may be of benefit to people who are already healthy, and are interested in peak functioning and an improved capacity to handle stress.

The result of neurofeedback treatment can be greater relaxation, a sense of ease and emotional resilience.

Benefits include:

  • Increased attention and focus
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved cognitive performance
  • Decreased anxiety and depression
  • Reduced hyperactivity
  • Reduced irritability and mood swings
