Neurotherapy uses brain
wave analysis to teach a person how his/her brain and
nervous system hold trauma, both physical and emotional.
When a person is injured on the job with Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome, neurovascular entrapment of the upper
quadrant, or other similar diagnoses, he/she is most
likely to suffer pain as well as confusion about what
this means in his/her life and career. Neurotherapy,
when done with advanced technology including
photostimulation-driven EEG feedback, reduces pain
and eliminates numbing and tingling in the affected
areas. Insomnia is immediately eliminated giving the
patient the advantage of a good night's sleep.
Depression, when associated with injury, is a neurochemical reaction in the brain which is quickly
remediated with this therapy. Pain management then can
be much more successful as a person learns how to focus
in and listen carefully to his/her body and nervous
system. Listening and feeling early, before causing
flare ups and further injury, is one of the many
techniques we teach through brain wave training. This
training is the next protocol used after reduction of
symptoms and anxiety in the patient. The Center for
Advanced NeuroTherapy uses the most advanced technology
available in the world today.
Recent brain research
at UCLA and the National Institute of Mental Health
finds that the brain interprets and translates complex
changes in the environment and the physical body and
then determines when to turn on the "emergency
response". This is a well programmed evolutionary
survival mechanism. This emergency message to the brain
and nervous system increases heart rate, blood pressure,
stress hormone production such as cortisol and
adrenalin, and a "fight-flight" response. The problem is
that evolution has not progressed to the point that we
can undo this reaction easily, and particularly if the
stress is long term and chronic.
The brain wave pattern we find in all patients we have
worked with who have delayed recovery and difficulty
healing is this exact pattern. The brain wave
pattern shows a dominance of high delta and theta slow
wave activity associated with tension, irritability,
anxiety, depression, and chronic stress on the nervous
system. Try as a person may, this does not go away with
talk therapy, physical therapy, surgery (which often
increases the problems), or even medications. Medication
side effects are well documented, causing drowsiness,
fuzzy thinking, nausea, and often uncomfortable effects.
The very advanced technology of Neurotherapy completely
unlocks this "emergency response" and gives the patient
relief and reversal of symptoms. There is extensive
research available documenting the many results in both
University research and clinical application of
NeuroTherapy.
A person cannot
consciously WILL tension, stress, and pain out of
his/her body, but one can learn how to change mind
states so that the natural ability to modulate and
literally heal neurological dysfunction is not only
possible but predictable.
We hope that our
contribution to our clients and their employers allows
both to handle the difficult and often painful process
of recovery to be one of hope and success.
