Advanced Neurotherapy
Kayleigh Mack of Advanced Neurotherapy, PC, based out of Needham, Massachusetts has kindly provided us with a guest post explaining the use of Neurotherapy as a treatment for condition such as Autism.
Mack writes “. Our mission at Advanced Neurotherapy is to improve the functioning and quality of life for as many people as possible and to search for the many and varied causes of these challenges for the purpose of better treatment outcomes. The person who responded gave me your email address to ask about potentially being the subject for a blog, which we would absolutely love to be a part of.
Here is a little information about what we do at Advanced Neurotherapy. Neurotherapy can treat brain based issues and disorders including learning disabilities like ADHD, behavioral issues, brain injury, physical manifestations, and psychological disorders. Additionally, neurotherapy can be done to improve overall performance in school, work, and sports. The better the brain functions, the better the person functions. The process begins by hooking up a patient to an EEG to listen to brainwaves and analyze when and where the brain is having trouble functioning. Once the issues are identified, patients are
asked to come in once a week typically for an hour to receive the treatment, which consists of teaching the brain how to make correct brainwaves by having the patient watch a screen and receive visual and audio cues when the correct brainwaves are being produced naturally. Over time, the brain begins to function this way normally and ultimately causes a reduction of symptoms. Studies have shown neurotherapy to be a very effective treatment option for adults and children alike. In fact, in November of 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics approved neurofeedback (another word used for neurotherapy) as a Level 1 (best support) treatment for children with ADHD.
We have a variety of resources we can provide regarding research and studies around neurotherapy. Our direct Dr. Jolene Ross gives free consultations for treatment to discuss the best treatment strategy. Dr. Ross is a sought after speaker in her field, giving a minimum of three workshops a month with The Foundation for Wellness Professionals.
