Attention disorders feature decreased attention span, impulsivity, and both under and over-arousal of the nervous system. ADHD is often associated with functional impairments that may affect learning and academic success, interpersonal behavior, and/or overall performance and quality of life.

BrainSpa’s clients have reported improvements in focus, organization, distractability, irritability, and mood. Neurofeedback has been ranked a Level 1 treatment by the American Association of Pediatrics for many years (click on first journal article below).

Anxiety is the result of over-arousal in your nervous system, which is controlled by your brain. It is a maladaptive mechanism used by the neural network to balance nervous system activity. Anxiety disorders are characterized by a variety of neuroendocrine, neurotransmitter, and neuroanatomical disruptions. If you are looking for a medication alternative* or a way to support the efficacy of your current medication, connect with us today to learn how. BrainSpa’s neurofeedback brain training can help you be more ‘present’ in each moment and clients have reported decreases in the nervous system activity associated with anxiety, tension, and worry.

Depression is the result of under-arousal in your nervous system, which is controlled by your brain. It is a maladaptive mechanism used by the brain to balance nervous system activity. Depression affects the dynamic connectivity among neuroanatomical structures involved in regulation of mood and stress response. BrainSpa clients report being more ‘present’ in each moment and feeling less apathy, rumination, and hopelessness.

Pain is a signaling system in the brain that alerts us that there is a problem, but it can easily sound the alarm too loudly especially as healing continues over a longer period of time or the injury site does not recover 100%. Chronic pain can be life changing for many and living with it can create surrounding symptoms that impact quality of life. Our clients have reported that BrainSpa’s gentle neurofeedback has helped to improve feelings of hope and teach the brain to reset the signaling system on it’s own. If you are looking for a medication alternative* or support for your current dosage to potentially prevent further increases, brain training could be right for you. Connect with us today to discuss how neurofeedback could benefit your wellness goals.

Athletes and academics have one thing in common: they need focus. Psychologists call this being present in the moment and athletes call it being in-the-zone which translates to calm, relaxed, and focused. Rumination about past failures or anxiety about the end result is useless when taking a test or hitting that winning shot. BrainSpa’s neurofeedback brain training is a gentle approach to improving performance, both in the classroom and on the field. Pro athletes have been using neurofeedback for more than 20 years to improve their mental game now you can too. Connect with us today to find out how BrainSpa’s neurofeedback can help you reach academic and athletic performance goals.
