How We Can Help
Research suggests that if you have ADD/AHD you may have an imbalance of brain waves. IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) can help the brain to heal itself and get the brain waves back in balance. During the MCN treatments the brain is bathed in a small amount of energy which allows the neuropathways to reorganize and gives the brain an opportunity to heal itself and begin regulating in a healthy, balanced state. These changes are sustainable and can empower individuals to overcome the limitations of ADHD/ADD.
By understanding ADHD/ADD and its symptoms, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Join us in spreading awareness, breaking stigma, and building a community where individuals with ADHD/ADD can thrive.
Together, let's transform knowledge into compassion and make a difference in the lives of those affected by ADHD/ADD.
