Have you experienced a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to an accident?
Are you noticing changes in your cognitive abilities or behavior? Perhaps your family has observed changes in you as well.
Over 1.5 million Canadians are affected by brain injuries. If you’re among them, you may be grappling with memory issues, trouble concentrating or sleeping, headaches, fatigue, balance issues, and heightened sensitivity to light or sound. Treatment for brain injuries differs based on symptoms, typically involving rehabilitation and medication. However, some individuals continue to experience symptoms despite treatment efforts, and finding effective therapies can pose challenges.
BRAIN INJURIES CAN HAVE DRAMATIC EFFECTS ON YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
There are more than 1.5 million Canadians living with a brain injury. If you are one of these people, you might be experiencing memory problems, difficulty concentrating or sleeping, headaches, fatigue, balance problems, and increased sensitivity to light or sounds. Treatment for brain injuries varies depending on the symptoms, with most involving rehabilitation and medication. For some, the symptoms persist even with treatment, and many people have difficulties finding effective treatments to begin with.
TREATMENTS CAN INCLUDE A COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Psychotherapy (in person or virtual)
- Neurofeedback
NEUROFEEDBACK AND TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Neurofeedback offers a non-invasive treatment option for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Research suggests that TBIs can disrupt various aspects of brain function, from mild alterations in electrical activity to changes in neural pathway communication and cell matter degradation. The goal of Neurofeedback is to modulate these brain patterns, allowing the brain to restore its health and enhance regulation and communication.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH NEUROFEEDBACK
Neurofeedback addresses a broad spectrum of symptoms, leading to an overall enhancement in quality of life. The therapy aims to regulate both under- and over-arousal in the brain while fostering healthy communication between brain regions. Neurofeedback aids in alleviating symptoms associated with traumatic brain injuries, which can affect daily routines and interpersonal relationships. Clients often report improvements in sleep, emotional regulation, learning, memory, attention, response accuracy, and overall well-being.
