LENS Neurofeedback is to the brain what physical therapy is to the  body.  When a person gets injured, the body will form scar tissue around  the injury in an effort to support healing.  While helpful, this also  decreases mobility.  As such, doctors prescribe physical therapy to  patients in order to slowly work the muscle and tissue to regain  strength and flexibility.

Our brains work in the exact same  manner.  Injuries occur to all of us at some point either through minor  bumps to the head, through exposures to mold, toxins, or medications,  stroke, and even due to emotional and psychological trauma.  LENS  neurofeedback works to match an individual’s brain waves and gently  prompt the brain to try new things to help remove stuck patterns and  regain full flexibility and functionality.

The LENS, or Low Energy  Neurofeedback System, is a unique and effective form of neurotherapy  that facilitates changes in people of all ages with a wide variety of  presenting issues. As a result, it has the capacity to address numerous  symptoms and deficits. It is remarkably effective, and over 85% of  people who have used the LENS have benefited significantly from it.  Results can be seen quickly, often beginning within the first session,  and are lasting.

LENS Neurofeedback is extremely safe. In over 75,000 clients treated  with LENS, there has not been a single reported case of enduring  negative effects.

LENS neurofeedback is an FDA-certified Class II  device. It is 510K exempt. The Class II 510K exempt medical device  classification is a less restrictive certification than a 510-K, meaning  that LENS is considered by the FDA as safer than the 510-K  devices–which includes most other biofeedback and neurofeedback  devices.

Additionally, LENS Neurofeedback is one of the few neurofeedback systems supported by the VA.

LENS can help you if you face challenges in many areas, including but not limited to:

LENS  neurofeedback is exceptionally effective at reducing of anxiety. Most  clients begin to experience improvement within 4-6 sessions. LENS also  improves resilience, the ability to handle stress, and helps create a  sense of calm in difficult situations.

LENS  neurofeedback helps lift depression—sometimes even when it has been  resistant to other treatments. Energy and motivation can also increase,  and a client may once again experience a positive sense of health and  well-being.

In  mild and moderate TBI, clarity, concentration/focus, memory,  multi-tasking and energy can significantly and quickly improve after  LENS Neurofeedback.

LENS  neurofeedback decreases impulsivity, distractibility and hyperactivity.  The world becomes easier to navigate. Life becomes less of a struggle  for the patient and parent.

Because  LENS neurofeedback is so effective at treating anxiety, depression and  poor impulse control, it can be tremendously helpful for people  withdrawing from, and working at staying away from, addictive  substances.

Again,  because LENS neurofeedback is so effective at treating anxiety,  depression and poor impulse control, there is often dramatic improvement  in a variety of disorders where these symptoms are present.

Unlike LENS sessions, traditional neurofeedback sessions (1) require  conscious effort and attention to stimuli by the client, (2) sessions  last 45-60 minutes each, and (3) results are typically attained over 40  or more sessions.  On the other hand, LENS does not require any focused  attention, and the person does not need to do anything specific during  the session.  The sessions themselves last between a few seconds and a  few minutes. Initial results are typically seen in 1-4 sessions, with  the average number of sessions per client of 11.  This makes LENS neurofeedback an excellent option for all individuals, including those  who are unable to attend for lengthy periods of time and/or who are  unable to understand instructions.

LENS Neurofeedback can be a powerful tool to help speed up  detox from mold exposure, recover from brain injuries and accelerate  therapy.  While traditional medical models often encourage individuals  to try one treatment at a time, collaborating with other  providers for nutrition, detox, and therapy can provide effective  results.
