Concussions and Brain Injury

How can Neurotherapy help with Traumatic Brain Injury?

In cases of multiple head injuries (i.e. professional athletes) often called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) we sometimes witness the formation of scar tissue from the shearing of fibers at the sites of the accident (after initially experiencing a state of inflammation). If the inflammation was not able to properly heal the brain — which is the function of neural inflammation — then the brain will ultimately learn to handle the inflammation by altering cellular structures to form tougher tissues and new neuronal bonds, which would consequently prevent blood perfusion at the sites of the injury and prevent the slower brainwaves of delta and theta from being read from the surface, often dulling the amplitude of faster, cognitive waves, as well.

The use of neurostimulation and neurofeedback can create profound shifts in the ability to recuperate and recover from your injury. Studies have shown that neurostimulation increases blood perfusion and calcium release almost immediately. By bringing more fresh oxygen to these damaged areas there is a greater opportunity for the brain to heal itself.
