Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a natural, drug-free treatment that helps you to self-regulate your brain activity to control your emotional and behavioral responses.

It is a specific type of biofeedback that monitors your brain activity and provides positive reinforcement to encourage healthy brain function.

With practice, you learn to recognize your emotional reactions and self-adjust. You develop the skills needed to control your thoughts and emotions instead of being overrun by them.

During a neurofeedback session, Dr. Aina places electrodes on your head that are connected to a computer that monitors your brain activity. Your treatment begins with an assessment of your brain activity that shows Dr. Aina any abnormal or dysfunctional brainwaves linked to depression, anxiety, or other mental health disorders. The region of your brain where activity is unusual determines the symptoms that you experience.

Dr. Aina uses neurofeedback to help patients with a variety of mental health conditions, including:

• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Insomnia and other sleep disorders
• Anxiety
• Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder
• Anger management
• Addiction

Dr. Aina often uses neurofeedback as part of a comprehensive treatment plan designed to improve your overall health and wellness as well as reduce your mental health symptoms.

Neurofeedback is a natural approach to managing some mental health conditions. It helps you learn to regulate your emotions and behaviors without having to rely on medication. You develop some of the tools needed to improve your health and wellness for long-lasting benefits.
