Neurointegration therapy begins with a
brain mapping session using qEEG to help visualize areas of dysregulation within the brain.[1] The supporting therapies are then used to retrain the problem areas of the brain by rewarding the brainwaves when they move in a desired pattern.[2] Follow up qEEG sessions demonstrate changes in brainwave patterns and signify if the therapeutic treatments require adjustments.[3]
Application
NeuroIntegration therapy is being used as a treatment for brain-related conditions such as chronic pain,[4] addiction,[5][6] and obesity.[7][8]
The field of neurointegration therapy is relatively new and protocols have not been widely standardized. However, global initiatives are being taken to create a common language of information, to promote consistency in education and certification, and to form collaborative alliances with other mental and physical health disciplines.[9][10]
Criticism
Though neurointegration therapy itself has not received any published criticism, the individual components of the treatment have.
