Concussions
Revitalize Your Brain’s Function
Concussions can occur from various incidents, such as car accidents, sports injuries, or military service, leading to significant brain changes. These changes can affect cognitive abilities, resulting in challenges with concentration, focus, memory, sleep, and mood. Honolulu Biofeedback Associates is dedicated to helping individuals with brain injuries enhance their function and work towards restoring their health.
Understanding Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
What is a concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when a person experiences a blow to the head or a sudden impact to the body, causing the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This movement can harm brain cells and disrupt neural pathways, leading to chemical changes in the brain. Concussion symptoms can be diverse, ranging from loss of consciousness and memory lapses to difficulties with concentration, memory problems, nausea, blurry vision, and headaches. While mild concussions often heal with rest, severe concussions can result in long-term changes to brain function.
How can neurofeedback training help with concussion recovery?
Severe concussions need specialized treatment to repair damaged brain cells and restore cognitive function. Neurofeedback provides a non-invasive, drug-free method to promote brain healing and create new neural pathways to replace damaged ones. During neurofeedback sessions, targeted brain areas receive specific feedback, enhancing blood flow and promoting long-term healing. As these areas heal, the brain’s overall function improves, leading to a return to balanced, normal operation.
What results can be expected from neurofeedback training for concussion symptoms?
Clients and studies alike have shown that neurofeedback training can enhance memory, focus, and concentration while reducing headaches associated with chronic concussion symptoms. Many individuals also report improved IQ scores after neurofeedback therapy. As the brain heals, patients often experience relief from the anxiety and depression that frequently accompany concussion injuries.
