Sleep is a huge part of health. Quality sleep is a must for optimal health. Insomnia is lack of sleep. To have insomnia is to feel that you are walking around in a daze, not fully awake at times. The CDC reported that one third of our population gets less than 7 hours of sleep per night. The US Department of Transportation found drowsiness/nodding off causes over 1500 deaths and 40,000 injuries per year.

Many people take medication in an attempt to get quality rest. Many are not aware that insomnia is often a symptom of a larger problem that involves the over-firing of the brain or imbalances in body chemistry. In our office, we use brain maps to determine if a person’s brain is over-firing and neurofeedback to rehab the brain. If the underlying cause of imbalanced brain waves is not properly dealt with these people often also end up dealing with symptoms like anxiety, chronic pain, tinnitus, poor memory and focus/attention difficulties.

What is the science behind holistic ADHD treatments or more specifically does Neurotherapy (also known as neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback) work? It a simple question, however, there is no simple answer. ADHD and like it, ADD, are spectrum disorders with no particular cause in all cases and situations. As such, the effectiveness of holistic treatments can also range depending on the individual cases and circumstances involved. Established science has shown that the use of Neurotherapy does work in a majority of cases and thus is a recommended treatment for those who have ADHD or ADD. Does Neurotherapy work? For most people, it most certainly does.

As of 2013, the World Health Organization has noted that over 39 million people experience some level of ADD or ADHD. Furthermore, the severity in the appearance of this disorder is inconsistent across the board as a result of fluctuations in external and internal factors. This has lead to ADD and ADHD to become one of the more commonly researched spectrum disorders, and the attention has lead to innovative therapies in ADHD and ADD treatment options. In fact, both Canada's and America's treatment guidelines recommend non-pharmaceutical treatments as the first line in treating both ADD and ADHD, especially in children.
