Take Advantage of Neurotherapy for East Peoria IL
Mental health is a major concern for adults throughout the United States. Thankfully, more and more treatment options are becoming available for those struggling with their emotional well-being. One of those treatment options that has gained in popularity and relevance over the last few years is “neurotherapy”. Until recently, neurotherapy wasn’t readily available to those who lived outside of the larger metropolitan areas. The Neurotherapy Institute of Central Illinois, a division of Chapin & Russell Associates, has brought neurotherapy to this region and has the training, expertise, and cutting-edge technology to effectively provide neurotherapy in East Peoria IL.
What’s Neurotherapy?
First established in the late 1950s to early 60s, neurotherapy is a drug-free mental health treatment focused on improving individuals’ brain function. Our specialists monitor your brain activity by attaching electrodes to your scalp and reading your brainwaves with an electroencephalogram (EEG). Neurofeedback training sessions involve watching a DVD movie or music video that is linked with the EEG. When your brain is meeting the desired conditions the movie or music will play and when your attention wanders away from the desired conditions, it will stop. Using this training your brain will learn how to re-regulate its optimal level of functioning. Multiple neurotherapy sessions result in your brain developing and sustaining desired brainwave patterns, thus improving your mental health.
Why Consider Neurotherapy?
Many Chapin & Russell Associates clients have experienced the incredible benefits of neurotherapy services. While counseling, medication, and other medical interventions may offer some help in managing mental health symptoms, there are limits to conventional treatment. Neurotherapy offers many advantages over traditional therapy for East Peoria IL. Some of these include:
- Little to No Side-Effects – While there are dozens of prescription medications for treating mental health disorders, not every medication is guaranteed to work. Sometimes the medications that are attempting to resolve your mental health issues also bring unwanted side effects that can actually undermine brain health with long-term use. Thankfully, neurotherapy treatment does not have unwanted side effects. Since no chemicals are required, neurofeedback is a natural treatment option.
- Safe and Simple – For most clients, neurotherapy is a straightforward process that doesn’t require extensive preparation for successful completion. Other than placing a few electrodes along your scalp, neurotherapy is easy to implement and a non-invasive procedure.
- An Effective Treatment Option – The research behind neurotherapy has shown the procedure to be incredibly effective for treating individuals with a variety of mental disorders and other conditions. The published research on neurofeedback has found its benefits to generalize well beyond the training period and last as long as ten to twenty years or more when healthy lifestyles are followed. Because neurotherapy has been found to enhance the effectiveness of traditional therapy, counseling is also often recommended by Chapin & Russell Associates in combination with this approach.
