What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a non-medical procedure designed to improve the brain’s balance, self-regulation, and overall functioning. Many mental and behavioral challenges are linked to brain energy imbalances, rather than purely psychological causes. By targeting these underlying issues, neurofeedback can help alleviate symptoms while enhancing overall mental clarity, emotional stability, and wellbeing.
Using methods like the Othmer Method and ILF Neurofeedback, Dr. Carl Shames provides Bay Area Neurofeedback treatments for a wide range of conditions, helping patients achieve long-lasting improvements without medication.
