Neurofeedback

The brain changes throughout life, adapting to things we have learned and experienced. In a healthy brain, new connections continually develop and broken ones are repaired. As we get older, particularly from middle age onward, changes can start to happen within the brain so that there’s a gradual decrease in mental capabilities. This is known as age-related cognitive decline, and it typically results in people becoming more forgetful and less sharp, mentally. Although brain health is important at every age, it becomes more imperative as we grow older.

It is more important than ever that we treat our brains as vital organs. Evidence is strong that people can reduce their risk of cognitive decline by making key lifestyle changes, including participation in regular physical activity, staying socially engaged, and maintaining good heart health. Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are among the twenty-first century’s greatest health, social, and economic challenges facing the United States and the world. Today, 6.2 million Americans are living with the disease. As the population ages, this staggering impact will only grow. By 2050, prevalence is projected to soar to nearly 14 million.

We can further help our brains by identifying areas which need additional support. Neurofeedback uses modern technology to teach the brain to regulate and stabilize itself to improve cognitive function, attention, mood, anxiety, sleep, and behavior. This is accomplished without the use of medication which removes risks of side affects.
