Neurofeedback: Train Your Brain. Transform Your Life in Lake Forest IL

What Is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that  our chiropractic clinic in Lake Forest IL uses. It helps regulate and optimize brain function through real-time monitoring of brainwave activity. Also known as QEEG biofeedback, it “re-trains” the brain to develop healthier patterns—improving focus, mood, sleep, and more.

How It Works in Lake Forest IL

Sensors placed on the scalp measure electrical activity in the brain (QEEG). A computer analyzes brainwaves and provides instant feedback via visual or auditory cues (e.g., a video game or movie). When the brain moves into a desired state, the reward signal reinforces that activity, helping the brain "learn" new, more balanced patterns over time.
