Testimonial from a child

David — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:26:20 +0000

We couldn’t have said this better ourselves, and are thrilled to share this adorable letter one of our patients wrote to their “HMO”.

“Dear HMO,

I am very sad, please help me. I do not want to stop going to Dr. Myer. I do not want to see my mommy cry. I like Dr. Myer. She helps me a lot. And I don’t get yelled at in school. I don’t need special reading anymore. Please help me to keep being good!!!!

In his own words . . . .

Rushing Around

David — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:59:12 +0000

Some of us don’t like to rush into things.

So, my ADD waited patiently for some years until I told a doctor about my experience in Elementary School. From First Grade, through Second and on into Third Grade, I had my own little desk set up just outside the Principal’s office door. A time or two I almost got creamed by her door: it was that close. The doctor heard the story and began to write the prescription out way before the whole tale ended. Somehow, he just knew.

So, you can call us for an appointment today, or do like I did and wait until you’re 50 to start getting better. Most folks are smarter than I was.

Katie now joins Dr. Anita Myer and Boston Neurofeedback Center in Woburn, MA to enhance the neurofeedback treatment by providing direct, concurrent occupational therapy. “Neurofeedback is a noninvasive form of biofeedback which uses brain wave monitoring, analysis and auditory feedback to change brain wave patterns” (www.bostonnfb.com). Once individualized neurofeedback protocols have been determined by Dr. Myer, Katie works simultaneously to create an intense and brainwave recorded occupational therapy session. As the area of the brain is targeted through neurofeedback, Katie actively targets the same area of the brain through functional activities to maximize the neurofeedback treatment. There is no other facility in the Greater Boston Area which is

Are you suffering from migraines? Here’s some help…

Dallas Neurologist Beats Migraines Without Drugs

“Neurofeedback More Effective than Medication: Eliminates Headaches Without Side-Effects. Stunning results from a new study reveal that 54% of participants receiving neurofeedback experienced complete relief from migraines.”

Given the relevance and enthusiasm in which we share with this neurologist out of Dallas, we felt his press release was worth commenting on. Did you know that almost “84% of people with migraines report that the drugs do not completely relieve their pain, and sometimes do not even work at all”? His study reveals that a little more than half of his patients who participated in the neurofeedback treatment experienced complete relief, with the patients who opted for pharmaceutical treatment experiencing only 8% relief.

Many of our patients have come to us for their first consultation with Dr. Myer suffering from a long history of migraines. Most are completely unaware that neurofeedback, a non-invasive form of treatment, can provide relief of some or all of these symptoms. In this article, Dr. Jonathan Walker, M.D., of The Neurotherapy Center of Dallas describes a common brain activation pattern among migraine sufferers and his protocol in treating them through 24 QEEG sessions.

If you are seeking help for migraine symptoms please call us for a free consultation. There are many options available to you for treatment, neurofeedback being one that can truly help you. Most of our patients treatments plans are covered by insurance.

Looking for Neurofeedback Training?

David — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 20:31:10 +0000

Over the years, we have received a number of requests to help other practitioners hone their skills. In October, 2010, we decided to invite our first interns. Thus, Justyna Klajn (spoken as: Justina Klein), from Warsaw, Poland came to join us in Burlington, MA. A few weeks later, Natalie Gutowski arrived from Guatemala to receive additional training in our hands-on neurofeedback environment.

After completing their advanced training at Boston Neurofeedback, each has returned home. Justyna is preparing the final details for defending her thesis, while Natalie has secured space for her first office, and has begun work with her first clients. Natalie becomes the first practitioner to offer neurofeedback in Guatemala.

Bonnie Swart has joined us recently to complete preparation for her certification by BCIA.

Boston Neurofeedback Ctr. considers internship applications from around the world. We offer supervised opportunities for working with a broad range of mental health challenges. Please contact us for more info!
