Neurofeedback for Concussions & Brain Injuries
At our clinic, we specialize in cutting-edge neurofeedback treatments for concussions and traumatic brain injuries, led by the renowned Dr. Hammond.
Understanding Your Brain’s Health
Advanced Diagnostics
Traditional evaluations like MRI or CAT scans focus on the brain's physical structure but often fail to detect functional problems. Over 90% of these scans may show no abnormalities.
In contrast, quantitative EEG (QEEG) brain mapping, a less expensive option, assesses brain function and is more likely to identify issues resulting from head injuries. They provide an objective, scientific, and detailed analysis of how your brain is actually functioning, identifying issues that standard evaluations often miss.
Visualizing Impact
This brain map illustration shows the typical pattern of a coup-contrecoup brain injury in a concussion. It shows how the brain has been damaged by being thrown back and forth between the left posterior area and the right frontal area.
Effects of Head Injuries
Concussions and TBIs can occur without loss of consciousness and can have cumulative effects, increasing the risk of dementia. Even mild head impacts, common in sports and incidents like whiplash, can cause significant problems.
Head Injury Symptoms
Post-injury symptoms include concentration problems, memory issues, impulsiveness, irritability, emotional changes, fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, and increased sensitivity to light and sound. These can persist for years without proper treatment.
Our Approach to Healing
Every brain is unique. Our neurofeedback therapy is tailored to your specific symptoms and brain pattern, targeting areas affected by the injury.
While rest and medication have their place, neurofeedback provides a proactive approach to healing, shown to be effective even in long-standing cases.
