Therapy
The scope of neurotherapy applications is very wide. This is the case because the technique addresses the self-healing capacity of ones being and enables the brain to optimize its function so that it breaks with disfunctional patterns. Neurotherapy uses the resilience and learning abilities of the brain itself. Successful neurotherapeutic applications are:
- Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- Concentration problems
- Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD)
- Dyslexia / dyscalculy
- Autism and PDD-NOS
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Compulsive Obsessive Disorder, tics, Tourettes Syndrome
- Phobias
- Migraines and headaches
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Depression
- Sleepdisorders
- Burnout
- Addictions
- Brain damage (due to accidents or CVA)
- Whiplash
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
- Chronic pain
- Epilepsy
- Autoimmune Dysfunction
In some cases there have been remarkable recoveries of autoimmune diseases; usually this ailment requires a long and integrated treatment. Neurofeedback treatments may also benefit more specific defects or disorders among which degenerative diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimers. In these cases the training does not cure the disease but it does help the brain to function better, in spite of the damage. The quality of life is usually improved and the speed at which the degeneration takes place is slowed down.
Although it was generally assumed that (non-congenital) brain damage does not show any further improvements 3 years after the accident, in practice it turns out that the brain is very well capable of improving it's function after all, provided that one keeps on training. Continuous training after severe brain damage initiated in many cases a remarkable recovery progress leading to improved brain functionality.
