Neurofeedback for Concussion Support

CONCUSSION

If you are searching the terms “traumatic brain injury”, “traumatic head injury”, or “TBA”, and you live near Calgary Alberta, you might be interested in reading this.

Physical Trauma to the Brain

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBA) can be from a severe head injury or the effects of a stroke. A concussion, multiple concussions or a severe whiplash can also cause brain injury.

If you played contact sports such as football, boxing or even soccer (passing the ball with your head over and over), hit your head or were in a car accident, you could have a brain injury.

A very common head injury is the trauma of being born.

A traumatic brain injury can be one of the most frustrating conditions a person has to deal with. A person can have compromised motor skills, speech, confusion, foggy brain, memory loss, difficulty with understanding, anxiety depression, rage, blurred vision, memory loss, insomnia, noise and light sensitivity, ringing in the ears and headaches.

When the brain suffers a concussion, it needs to heal itself. This is actually how healing works in general! Even a broken bone has to heal itself. A doctor might set it back in place to facilitate this and provide medication to alleviate pain or swelling, but the bone must heal itself over time. Neurofeedback is an aid that facilitates the brain to heal itself after an injury. In our experiences we have seen many people experience improvements from long-term issues they had all but given up on treating after experiencing a concussion.

Supporting the Brain After a Concussion

A concussion can affect the way your brain functions, sometimes leaving you with symptoms that continue well beyond the initial injury.

You may notice changes in areas such as sleep, concentration, memory, headaches, energy, mood or your ability to manage everyday demands.

Neurofeedback offers a non-invasive way to work with your individual brainwave patterns and support the brain's ability to regulate itself.

How Neurofeedback May Help

Neurofeedback provides your brain with information about its own activity through gentle auditory feedback. The process is designed to support the brain's natural ability to self-regulate and move toward a more balanced state.

Research involving neurofeedback following mild traumatic brain injury has reported improvements in areas including post-concussion symptoms, sleep, cognitive function and quality of life. These findings are encouraging as researchers continue to explore how neurofeedback may support recovery following concussion.

Your Brain Is Unique

No two concussions — or two brains — are exactly alike.

That's why we begin with your individual brain patterns rather than assuming that everyone will respond in the same way.

Your Brain Evaluation provides a visual snapshot across 20 key areas. While the report contains detailed numbers and charts, we explain the information in clear, practical language and help you understand how the patterns may relate to what you are experiencing.

Supporting Your Recovery

Neurofeedback can be explored as an additional form of support during recovery. It is not intended to replace medical assessment, concussion care or other treatment recommended by your healthcare professionals.

Our goal is to provide another opportunity to work with your individual brain patterns and support your brain's ability to regulate and function more comfortably.
