What is Vielight Therapy?
Vielight Brain Photobiomodulation (PMB), also known as light therapy, uses near-infrared light to stimulate neuronal cells. These cells make up our brain and nervous system. Vielight therapy helps combat inflammation and promotes the generation of new cells. By generating these new cells, the brain functions more effectively and efficiently. This helps…
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a biofeedback therapy that allows patients to control their brain activity and nervous system. This non-pharmaceutical treatment teaches individuals to regulate their brainwaves, influencing their mood, stress levels, and overall brain function.
Brainwaves are electrical impulses produced by communication between brain cells. These waves provide insight into how well the…
Understanding Migraines
Migraines can leave people feeling hopeless. The pain disrupts work, family time, and overall quality of life. Many turn to medication for relief, only to experience side effects like nausea, fatigue, and depression.
Migraine disease affects nearly 40 million people in the U.S. It is a neurological condition that has become a major…
NorCal Brain Center is excited to introduce a powerful new tool for treatment and recovery—the Motion Guidance visual feedback system. This innovative technology accelerates recovery and improves treatment outcomes, helping patients regain their health faster.
What is Motion Guidance?
Motion Guidance is a visual feedback system that enhances rehabilitation exercises. It uses a laser…
NorCal Brain Center proudly offers low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation therapy. This advanced treatment uses concentrated “cold” lasers to deliver healing energy to your body’s tissues—similar to sunlight but without harmful heat or radiation.
How Does LLLT Work?
LLLT applies red and near-infrared light to injuries and affected areas. During a session,…
NorCal Brain Center is excited to integrate Highmark Interactive’s mobile application, EQ- Active Brain Tracking, into our practice. This innovative tool helps us establish a baseline after a concussion and monitor progress throughout recovery.
What is EQ?
EQ combines video games, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to track brain activity and support recovery from brain injuries.
Patients…
Functional neurology now has an exciting new tool for diagnosing and treating brain disorders: Interactive Metronome (IM). Whether you're an athlete, a student, or someone struggling with motor skill limitations, IM could help improve your performance and daily function.
What is Interactive Metronome?
Interactive Metronome (IM) measures and enhances neurotiming—the synchronization of neural impulses in…
Understanding Seizures: Causes, Types, and Treatment
Seizures occur when a sudden surge of electrical activity disrupts normal brain function. This uncontrolled disturbance can affect a person’s appearance, behavior, and bodily functions. Most episodes last between 30 seconds and two minutes, although some persist longer.
There are many variations, differing in type and severity. Some individuals experience…
A stroke can be life-changing, affecting mobility, cognition, and overall quality of life. In the United States, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds, making it the fifth leading cause of death and the number one cause of adult disability. Understanding what it is, recognizing the warning signs, and knowing what treatment options are available…
