EEG Biofeedback/ Active Neurofeedback is a non-pharmaceutical-based training that helps balance the body’s self-regulating capacity. Neurofeedback is biofeedback but with a focus on the central nervous system and brain, in which specific attention is paid to assisting a client in their ability to regulate their autonomic nervous system. The focus of EEG Biofeedback is to train brainwave electrical frequencies to communicate information more efficiently: sort of like fixing up a car so it can most efficiently transport important cargo from point A to point B. The result of this training can lead to improvement in a myriad of physical and emotional symptoms.

Treatment
EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback is a non-pharmaceutical training method that focuses on training brainwave electrical frequencies to improve communication efficiency in the brain. Active Neurofeedback, a branch of EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback, concentrates on assisting clients in self-regulating their autonomic nervous system by training brain frequencies and communication patterns.
A typical EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback session at the Brain Bar involves the client sitting comfortably while sensors are attached to their scalp to monitor brainwave activity. The client engages in specific tasks or exercises while receiving real-time feedback about their brainwave patterns. Through this process, clients learn to regulate their brain activity and achieve a more balanced state.
Risks and Benefits
It's essential to address the potential risks and incredible benefits of EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback training. The procedure is generally safe and non-invasive, with minimal side effects when administered correctly. Some clients may experience mild headaches or fatigue after sessions, and it’s normal for some individuals to feel worse before they feel better, especially if individuals are retraining a traumatized nervous system. However, these effects are temporary and typically fade quickly. The benefits of Neurofeedback training can be far-reaching, impacting both physical and emotional symptoms. By improving brainwave communication, clients may experience improvements in mood, attention, memory, pain, sleep patterns, stress management, and overall well-being.
EEG Biofeedback/Neurofeedback training offered at Providence Therapy's Brain Bar can be beneficial for a wide range of individuals. It can support clients with conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, insomnia, chronic pain, substance abuse, and more. It is particularly valuable for those who have not found success with traditional treatment approaches or seek an adjunctive therapy option.
