Research has found that symptoms related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), TBI (traumatic brain injury), dyslexia, anxiety, depression, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s are often associated with what is known as a hemispheric weakness or imbalance in the brain. This means one side of the brain is operating less efficiently than the other, causing symptoms like anxiousness, depression, insomnia, short-term memory loss, balance problems, mental fog, and more. Generally speaking, most issues in the aging brain are associated with left hemispheric weakness. In contrast, most issues in younger individuals with ADHD or autism spectrum symptoms are associated with right hemispheric weakness.
Hemispheric Weakness
When we speak of a hemispheric weakness, we are discussing the area of the brain known as the frontal cortex on that side. The frontal cortex is the decision-making part of our brains. The front half of our brain is used to make decisions after receiving sensory information from the back half of our brain — the occipital, parietal, and temporal areas. The back half of our brain is responsible for processing information coming from our eyes (vision), ears (hearing), touch (hands and feet), and more. If the information we receive from our eyes, ears, hands, feet, and the like is not gathered or processed properly or coordinated with other incoming information in the right timing and sequencing, we cannot make the correct decisions.
Assessment of Function
Each part of the brain is assessed to determine normal or abnormal function or strength and weakness. Those weak areas are then strengthened through specific sound, light, or vibrational frequencies. The brain responds to sound, light, and vibration. The area of weakness in the brain can be strengthened much like an arm or leg can be strengthened after an injury.
When we experience problems with our sleep or our balance or experience excess anxiousness or anger, these are indications of a brain imbalance. It is our job to determine where and why this is occurring and help restore brain balance by strengthening the weaker areas. This requires repetition and frequency of the right brain exercises.
Neuroplasticity
The brain has neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity means that the brain has the ability to change. Specifically, stimulating certain areas of the body with the correct light, sound, and vibrational frequencies will have a positive impact on a weak area of the brain. With frequency and repetition, these weakened brain pathways are strengthened. Over time, these weakened areas in the brain are strengthened, and more normal function returns.
All assessments are painless and non-invasive and include state-of-the-art technologies not found elsewhere. At Saving Your Brain, we use QEEG Brainmapping, RightEye, Balance Traks, Interactive Metronome, cognitive testing, and more. For more information on these technologies, please visit our website at www.savingyourbrain.com. Initial assessments usually take 90–120 minutes. Initial assessments are done on Mondays and Wednesdays in Naples.
Dr. Kelly Miller, NMD, and Saving Your Brain work with people of all ages to correct brain imbalances.
These brain training centers use advanced technology to help resolve chronic brain health problems that aren’t resolved by one single approach.
