Our Process: What to Expect on Your Wellness Journey with Extending Hope
Initial Steps
Before your first appointment, we’ll guide you through an intake process, which includes a health questionnaire to understand your symptoms, goals, medical history, and any medications or supplements that you are currently taking.
First Appointment
Before your first neurofeedback session, we review your questionnaire and conduct a brief 15-20 minute brain health assessment to establish a baseline of your brain’s functionality. This assessment, repeated periodically, helps us track changes and optimize therapy as your brain adapts.
Tailored Sessions
Each session is personalized and designed for your comfort—simply relax and let the neurofeedback work. Our team carefully monitors your brain activity and engages in regular discussions with you to understand any changes you experience, adapting the therapy based on your ongoing feedback.
Continuing Care
As you experience sustained improvements, we will work together to decide the right time to transition to a continuity plan or conclude your sessions. Our continuity plans offer flexibility in care frequency at a reduced cost, helping you maintain your progress as your needs evolve. We encourage discussing these options with your therapist to tailor your ongoing wellness journey.
Complementary, Holistic Therapies and Services
At Extending Hope, we understand that healing is a multifaceted journey. Beyond our core practice of Low Energy Neurofeedback, we provide a suite of complementary therapies that enhance and support your path to recovery and well-being:
BodyLENS for Pain Management
BodyLENS is a specialized form of biofeedback applied directly to the body, designed to manage and alleviate chronic pain. It can be effectively integrated with Low Energy Neurofeedback or utilized as a standalone therapy. BodyLENS aids in reducing pain intensity which in turn promotes improved mobility and an enhanced quality of life. This therapy can be a valuable tool for those seeking relief from ongoing discomfort.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
LLLT employs low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help reduce inflammation and promote healing at the cellular level. This therapy is particularly effective for soft tissue injuries, pain management, and skin conditions. It stimulates healing while reducing inflammation and pain, complementing neurofeedback by enhancing overall neurological health.
Vagus Nerve Toning
By gently stimulating the vagus nerve, this therapy helps regulate the body’s relaxation response and reduces stress. Vagus Nerve Toning is beneficial for improving mood, reducing anxiety, and enhancing digestive health, which is often compromised under stress. This approach works well in conjunction with neurofeedback to create a more resilient and balanced nervous system.
Ongoing Brain Health & Cognitive Assessments
These assessments are designed to monitor and optimize your cognitive health, offering flexibility to suit your needs. They can be scheduled as annual reviews or more frequent periodic check-ins, providing critical insights into your brain’s functionality and aiding in the customization of your treatment plan.
