Am I a Good Candidate for Brain Training?
Living with a mental health disorder such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD is tough, especially when you can't control your feelings or emotions. The same is true if you're dealing with an addiction or seizure disorder.
Wouldn't it be great if you could also control stress and how you tense your muscles during times of anxiety or distress? The good news is that you can train your brain to work efficiently and overcome specific issues with neurofeedback therapy.
At the Regenerative Medical Group in Orange, California, our team specializes in holistic therapies to help you feel your best.
Dr. Bryn J. Henderson and Dr. John S. Farag offer neurofeedback therapy to give their patients an option to feel their absolute best.
What is brain training?
Brain training, called neurofeedback therapy, is a way to watch the brain waves change how your brain works under certain circumstances. During a neurofeedback session, we attach electrodes to your head that measure the frequencies of certain brain waves.
The process isn't painful and allows you to train your brain over time. During a session, the electrodes allow you and our team to view your brain activity, which helps you understand how to suppress or strengthen certain brain waves.
Over time, neurofeedback therapy allows you to focus when necessary, relax during stress, and allow flexibility in thinking and reasoning. Various brain waves affect various thoughts and reasoning skills, and they include:
- Theta waves
- Beta waves
- Delta waves
- Alpha waves
- Low Beta waves
These brainwave frequencies control different disorders and neurologic states, which is why neurofeedback therapy is so influential. For example, people living with ADHD typically have high theta wave levels.
Neurofeedback therapy aims to allow you to understand your brainwaves and to move in and out of specific thoughts and feelings on your own.

Am I a candidate for brain training?
