How Does Microcurrent Neurofeedback Work?

Our brains have an amazing capability for morphing and adapting to both internal (body-based) and external (environmental) stimuli. Without this quality of neuroplasticity, we wouldn’t be able to develop past infancy or recover from brain injuries. Yet, because our brains are continually changing—and often in response to trauma—we can get stuck in certain patterns like sleeplessness and anxiousness that prevent us from functioning at our highest potential. 

Microcurrent Neurofeedback “bathes” the brain in low amounts of energy, effectively stimulating the brain’s ability to enact neuroplasticity or change neural pathways. This is done with small electrodes that an MCN clinician places on the skull to emit both positive and negative energy, targeting neurons in the brain. These currents are not physically detectable by the client and work to effectively disrupt “stuck” patterns in the brain. In essence, Microcurrent Neurofeedback is a reboot of the brain’s neural pathways. 

MCN is typically done more frequently in the initial weeks of treatment with the goal of elongating time between treatment periods to promote a sustained response. Microcurrent Neurofeedback is administered by an IASIS-certified clinician, and talk therapy is not a component of MCN sessions; that happens separately and is determined by each unique individual treatment plan.
