- What is Neurogen Brain Balancing?
- Neurogen Brain Balancing is a high-performance neurofeedback therapy (HPN). It is a drug-free alternative treatment that improves neurological health and targets the root cause of mental health challenges such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Insomnia, Brain Fog, and More. We use a gentle form of brain stimulation in combination with electroencephalography (EEG), a clinical tool which is used to measure and modulate the electrical activity of neurons within the brain.
- How does it work?
- Neurogen Brain Balancing uses a two-prong approach to balance and promote healing within the nervous system. The first is to measure, modulate, and balance neural activity. The second is a gentle stimulation that sends signals to the brain to indicate that repair or healing is needed in a specific area (or multiple areas). This is achieved by using low-intensity electrical pulses with electroencephalography (EEG), a clinical tool used to measure the electrical activity of neurons within the brain. Changes in the neural activity can be seen in real-time and the benefits are often felt quickly.
- What should I expect?
- A typical session begins with the placement of five electrode sensors on the head and neck to measure synaptic activity. The EEG unit transmits the signal to the computer, which then responds by sending low-intensity pulses back through the EEG unit to the brain, interrupting irregular patterns, and stimulating healthy ones – the result is the minimization of unhealthy brain waves and the symptoms associated with them. While improved brain wave patterns can be tracked and documented via EEG, the operation of the system is not dependent upon EEG mapping of any kind. One session lasts approximately 30 minutes and all you have to do is sit in a chair.
- How many sessions will I need?
- he number of sessions will vary from person to person. While it may take only a few sessions to recognize benefits, it will typically more sessions for the effects to last. A typical series is 15-20 sessions for adults, while youth usually require less. Initial improvements are often temporary, but due to the cumulative nature of the sessions, the improvements last longer with each session. The good news is that results typically endure and improve over time.
- What are some of the benefits?
- Benefits include improved focus and mental clarity, clearer vision, more restful sleep, increased motivation, decreased anxiety and depression, less irritability, stress, impatience, and anger.
- Are there any side effects?
- Possible side effects include, but are not necessarily limited to, feeling tired, lightheaded, headaches, or temporary exacerbation of a symptom. Occasionally, individuals may have periods of increased anxiety, increased irritability, or a ack of energy – these are typically short-lived while the brain adapts. If you experience any of these effects, please tell your Neurogen Practitioner. Staying hydrated and resting may help alleviate these symptoms.
- Will I get Shocked?
- No. The amount of energy that is used in HPN is small and very safe. The EEG Amplifier puts out a very small signal that is equivalent to about 1/100th the strength of an AA battery. The signal is less than the strength of a cell phone signal and is far below anything a person can feel or detect. Brain Balancing is safe for persons of all ages.
- Are Neurogen Practitioners Licensed Physicians?
- Neurogen Practitioners are not medical doctors. All Practitioners undergo extensive training and certification by Neurogen HPN. Neurogen HPN is not considered a medical procedure. Rather, it is considered homeopathic as it stimulates the body to heal itself.
- Confidentiality
- All information disclosed within sessions and the written records pertaining to those sessions are confidential and may not be revealed to anyone without your written permission, except where disclosure Is required by law.
- Neurogen Interns
- Interns may occasionally work with Neurogen Practitioners as part of their training to become Neurogen Practitioners and are bound by the same Confidentiality protections as mentioned herein. If you object to having an Intern present during your sessions, please inform your Neurogen Practitioner.
- Whats Your Appointment Cancellation Policy?
- Your appointment time is reserved for your exclusive use. Should you cancel your appointment less than 24 hours in advance, or fail to use your scheduled time, it may not be used by another client. For this reason, a $50 fee will be charged for any appointment canceled less than 24 hours in advance.
