How it Works

BrainCore Therapy provides a unique drugless approach to treating NDS or Neurological DysregulationSyndrome that may be associated with the symptoms of many neurological based conditions including ADD/ADHD, Headaches,Migraines, Learning Disorders,Memory Loss, Overeating, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety Disorders, Fibromyalgia, and Insomnia. NDS is a condition that results from tension on the nervous system caused by subluxation, poor nutrition, stress, drugs or trauma. The BrainCore technology and science is based on a training procedure that effectively regulates the nervous system providing proven relief of conditions associated with NDS.

The Brain 
In order to understand how BrainCore therapy works we first need to understand how the brain works.  The systems that govern the human brain are the most complex on earth.  In order for the brain to function optimally, the parts of the brain must talk to one another constantly.  The brain accomplishes this communication by transmitting electrical signals along neurons that connect one area of the brain to another.  The electrical signals are expressed as brain waves. Using non-invasive surface sensors that are placed on the surface of the scalp, the BrainCore system is able to translate these brainwaves on to a computer screen for observation.  One researcher has called them the "faint whispers of the brain" that the EEG is able to record and the doctor is able to "hear."

Brain Waves
There are five distinct brain wave frequencies:

• Beta Waves ---Produced when you are awake and engaged in active thought
• Alpha Waves---Produced mostly when you close your eyes and relax
• Theta Waves---Produced when you start to fall asleep
• Delta Waves----Produced when you are sleeping
• SMR or Sensory Motor Rhythm---Governs body sensations and movement

Over thirty years of research has demonstrated that, for any given circumstance there is an accepted normal pattern of brain wave activity.  This healthy pattern is referred to as Neurological Regulation.  A healthy, balanced, and properly regulated nervous system will produce the appropriate brain waves at the appropriate levels and at the appropriate times for any given situation.  For example, it is appropriate for the brain to produce Beta waves when it is focused on a task however in some individuals, focusing on a task results in the production of Theta instead of Beta.  Outwardly this particular patient would demonstrate symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity - much like we see in some cases of ADD/ADHD.  This reversal is just one example of Neurological Dysregulation Syndrome. 


BrainCore Therapy and Brainwave Regulation

BrainCore Therapy is a form of neurofeedback that allows the nervous system to retrain itself to create new, more appropriate wave patterns and break the cycle of NDS.  Though the BrainCore technology is quite complex, the training activity is simple, painless, drugless and non-invasive.  Surface sensors are placed on the scalp and EEG activity is transmitted to the computer screen.  Visual feedback of the patient’s brainwaves in the form of an animated game such as Pac Man, or a movie is provided instantly. The animated game or a movie only plays when the patient is producing the correct brainwave activity.  If the patient’s brain stops producing the desired brain wave, the game or the movie stops playing.  As the nervous system reorganizes itself based on this instantaneous information, the patterns begin to normalize.  Over the course of 10 to 20 training sessions, the brain modifies itself to begin producing the appropriate brain waves at the appropriate times resulting in an alleviation of the symptoms.
