This noninvasive treatment activates the brain’s natural ability to regulate itself.
Microcurrent neurofeedback (MCN) is an innovative treatment that empowers the brain and nervous system to create healthier patterns. Different from traditional neurofeedback, the microcurrent approach uses cutting-edge technology to allow the brain to reboot itself by decreasing inflammation caused when chronically stressed. MCN is able to treat numerous symptoms, including those associated with insomnia, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, migraines or chronic pain, ADHD, autism, OCD, head trauma, and more. This proven technique has been practiced for over 15 years and helped more than 75,000 patients.
How Does It Work?
MCN is noninvasive and safe for children and adults. Each treatment session lasts around 30 minutes, during which the patient relaxes in a chair with small electrodes situated along their scalp. These electrodes monitor the brain’s activity and send subtle signals to the brain to promote healthy brain waves and improve overall function.
The Benefits of Microcurrent Neurofeedback
By generating certain brainwaves, MCN can yield many benefits. The treatment introduces delta and theta waves to the central nervous system, allowing the brain to regulate dysfunctional brain rhythms and ultimately bringing it to a state of homeostasis. Some benefits of this include:
- Improved executive function
- Increased emotion regulation
- Better sleep
- A balanced autonomic nervous system
- Greater neuroplasticity in the brain
Compared to traditional neurofeedback, MCN involves half the sessions for improvement to occur and requires no active participation from the patient. The majority of people observe initial changes within one to three sessions. After treatment is complete, additional sessions are typically not required to enjoy long-lasting effects.
