Academic Success, Emotional Intelligence, Attention and Coordination

Optimal brain function depends on exact timing and coordination of signals traveling between the two hemispheres. There is often a breakdown in this communication in two groups:

1. Patients with neurodevelopmental disorders, where the brain did not develop with right and left lobes performing their designed functions

2. Adults with exposure to long term chronic brain stress

The uncoordinated brain acts irrationally and can exhibit many different, but related conditions.

We are happy to work with patients diagnosed with

• Adults with ADD or ADHD

• Adults and teens with anxiety

• Children with ADD or ADHD

• Autism Spectrum Disorders *Including non-verbal*

• PANS

• Tourette’s

• Asperger’s

• OCD

• Dyslexia

• Bipolar disorder

• Oher mental, attention, behavioral and learning disorders.

How the Brain Works

The human brain is split into two halves (hemispheres) by a deep fissure.  Although the two hemispheres seem to be mirror images of each other, they are dramatically different.  The ability to form words and think analytically seems to lie primarily in the left hemisphere, while the right hemisphere seems to control many abstract reasoning skills and provides creative passageways.

Our Brain Balancing System analyzes each side of the brain and the ability for the two halves to communicate efficiently and effectively for each patient. Inhibited communication occurs for several reasons, but usually it is due to incomplete stimulation to one side.  To correct the imbalance…we reconnect the body to the brain.

• Humans are born with a default programming that is primitive and essential of the very basic functions of life, such as responding to touch, rooting for food, and movement patterns to leave the birth canal.

• As growth occurs, a specific sequence of movement and pressure stimulus is needed to cultivate the brain and form new capabilities. If these sequences are not followed such as skipping crawling, an imbalance between the right and left hemispheres develop.

• The brain develops from the bottom up, so higher thought functions and emotional maturity are dependent on going through the normal development process. If not, the stronger side will often take on more duties, some that it was not designed or equipped for.

• The right and left sides have their own strengths and weaknesses. An abnormally strong hemisphere has difficulty timing messages with the other side.

• This is called a functional disconnection that is often found in a variety of neurological, emotional, and coordination conditions.

Assessment

Our intake process consists of a detailed physical and neurological exam. We examine primitive reflexes, postural reflexes, core strength, balance, eye movements, posture, body composition, and other biometrics.

As part of your consultation, you will be given questionnaires and assigned a cognitive performance test before your exam.

Treatment

Every treatment plan is customized to the patient. We are able to perform intensive week long sessions as well as regular interval appointments. Our program uses a multi-sensory approach including reflex integration, NeuroSage training, vibration, video games, laser therapy, coordination and balance training, strength exercises, movement pattern correction, eye exercises, color therapy, acupuncture, and specific chiropractic adjustments.

We strive to make the training fun and interactive. The purpose is to take the client through the developmental process and activate the correct motor patterns, giving the brain the stimulation it craves.

Effects

We do not claim to treat any diseases or conditions. Our purpose is to improve brain-body communication and to strengthen neural networks. The brain is constantly changing and is capable of healing through neuroplasticity.

A Harvard study “Profound Effects of Interactive Metronome and Brain Balance Exercises on a Subset of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” documents dramatic improvements in the inter brain connection. The treatments outlined in this study are utilized in our Enbrain Brain Balance System.

We will perform follow up testing to document pre and post comparisons, so we can evaluate effectiveness.

Typically kids and teenagers will see the biggest improvements since their brains are still developing. Adults may need additional care to maximize neuroplasticity.
