Edmonton Neurotherapy offers quantitative EEG brain imaging and neurometric analysis of brain functioning as well as non-medical brain stimulation and neurofeedback approaches to the remediation of a variety of psychoneurophysiological disorders.

Quantitative EEG (QEEG) neurometric analysis and brain-mapping are assessment tools used to objectively and scientifically evaluate brain functioning on the basis of neuronal electrical activity from the cortex recorded from the scalp using non-invasive surface electrodes placed in multiple locations over the scalp. QEEG neurometric analysis and brain-mapping techniques have scientifically documented ability to aid in the evaluation of such psychoneurophysiological conditions as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, concussion and other brain injury, stroke, epilepsy, and dementia. The information obtained from a QEEG assessment of brain functioning is also an important first step in the development of appropriate neurotherapy treatment plans. For more information on QEEG assessment, GOTO: QEEG Brain-Mapping 

Neurotherapy is a broad term that includes a number of related technologies that help the brain to normalize and optimize its functioning and assist in correcting cognitive inefficiences. Neurotherapy techniques take advantage of new brain research that clearly shows us that the brain is constantly changing itself in response to experience and its own activity... a concept called "neuroplasticity".

For a truly excellent and incrediably readable exposition on the topic of neuroplascity and the endless adaptability of the human brain, please read: "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Canadian psychiatrist, Dr. Norman Doidge. [2007; Penguin Books  ISBN: 978-0-14-311310-2]

Neurofeedback methods such electroencephalographic (EEG) and hemoencephalographic (HEG) biofeedback train the brain to modulate the excitatory and inhibitory patterns of specific neuronal assemblies and pathways as well as brain oxygenation to increase flexibility and self-regulation of relaxation and activating patterns. Neurofeedback helps individuals learn how to self-regulate their cognitive and emotional functioning and is gaining widespread recognition as an effective treatment modality for many different psychological disorders and chronic conditions.

Brain stimulation technologies use low amperage electricity, light or sound to directly and safely stimulate the brain to decrease or increase brain activity and reduce problematic symptoms and improve functioning.

GOTO: Brain Stimulation Therapies 

Neurotherapeutic treatment modalities can be effective in treating the following conditions or ameliorating specific symptoms related to these conditions:  

• attention deficit disorder (ADD)
• learning disabilities (LD)
• dyslexia, reading disability
• autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)
• fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)
• anxiety disorders (GAD, OCD)
• depression and bipolar disorder (MDD, BPD)
• chronic pain, fibromyalgia
• migraine
• epilepsy, seizure disorders
• insomnia
• addictions (including alcohol, tobacco & food)
• traumatic brain injury (TBI) associated symptoms
   

Edmonton Neurotherapy is directed by Dr. Horst H. Mueller, an Alberta-registered psychologist who is board-certified in EEG neurofeedback and psychopharmacology as well as a registered Canadian health services provider in psychology.

We hope those unfamiliar with neurotherapy will find the material on this site helpful and informative. For those seeking safe, non-invasive, non-drug treatment for psychoneurophysiological conditions and disorders, please contact us by e-mail with any questions you may have or by telephone to book an initial no-charge consultation appointment with Dr. Horst Mueller.   CONTACT US
