Why Work With a Brain Health Specialist?

Mahatma Gandhi famously said, “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” If this maxim is true, then having robust brain health is more valuable than platinum.

But if you’re concerned about the state of your neurological fitness—or that of a loved one—or if you just want to improve brain function and increase your chances of preventing cognitive decline, then consider seeing a brain health specialist.

In addition, a brain health specialist may help you achieve a more balanced mood and alleviate neurological and behavioral problems.

What Does A Brain Health Specialist Do?

When most people think of a brain health specialist, a neurologist comes to mind. Neurologists focus primarily on treating brain diseases and memory disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. The beginning stages of these diseases can begin decades before cognitive decline and memory loss occurs.

But the scope of neurology is not limited to memory loss or cognitive function. A brain health specialist may be able to help if you experience one or more of the following neurological-related imbalances:

• Frequent headaches
• Dizziness
• Vision problems
• Movement disorders
• Epileptic seizures
• Numbness and tingling
• Stroke
• Severe muscle weakness

In addition, a neurologist may help treat chronic pain in the event a regular physician or other health care professional may be unable to treat it.

Are There Alternative Brain Health Specialists?

You don’t have to wait until mild cognitive impairment manifests to see a brain health specialist. Innovative Medicine, which combines several conventional- and alternative medicine therapies, offers an alternative for supporting mental wellness.

Innovative Medicine employs two dozen therapies that may help sharpen your mental acuity and maximize brain function. And if you’re looking for different treatment options for anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders, Innovative Medicine brain health therapies may help.

Let’s take a look at some of these therapies and services:

NAD+ Brain Restoration Therapy

Like a detox for the brain, NAD+ is named after the enzyme, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Although it sounds similar to the cancer-causing substance, nicotine, nicotinamide is different in molecular structure than nicotine found in tobacco. More importantly, nicotinamide is considered a nootropic; a substance that supports brain function. Research shows that nicotinamide has tranquilizing and stress-protective effects.

Found in all living cells, NAD+ plays a crucial role in the chemical process that generates energy, especially in the brain.

A completely nutrient-based therapy, NAD+/BR therapy helps improve neurotransmitter activity and cognitive functioning and helps you overcome anxiety, depression, chronic or acute stress, post-traumatic stress, and other neurological imbalances. In addition, this therapy can help with addiction.

Neurofeedback Therapy

Another non-invasive, research-backed brain health service offered by our brain health specialist, neurofeedback, or biofeedback for short, is a form of brainwave entrainment that can positively influence brainwave activity.

With repeated sessions, biofeedback can alleviate mood disorders such as anxiety as well as addictive behavior.

Neurobiofeedback therapy works by placing sensors on your head. These sensors record brain wave activity. Looking at a computer monitor, you will see or experience brief flashes of light, sound, or vibration. These short-lived visceral associations with pleasure create bursts of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex. 

The end result is that the brain is retrained to recognize and respond to pleasant associations. And more importantly, in order to create a lasting effect that improves mental harmony, the therapy retrains the brain to hold beneficial brainwave activities.

Quantum Neurology

A form of neurological rehabilitation, quantum neurology retrains the nerves that are associated with pain. The brain health specialist that administers quantum neurology can be a chiropractor or other alternative health care professional.

The therapy helps stabilize these pain-producing nerves so that healing can begin. Through the concept of neural recognition, the therapy tells the brain that there is a problem that needs to be fixed. Next, quantum neurology works by using cold laser therapy that removes stuck patterns of the affected nerve.

The third component of this alternative brain health therapy is the physical stimulation of the nerve. This helps induce and reset normal nerve patterns.

VieLight Neuro

A photobiomodulation device, the VieLight Neuro has been shown in preliminary research studies to lessen the severity of dementia and cognitive disorders. Looking like a space-age headset, the sensors stimulate existing neurons and generate new ones. The device may help fight inflammation.

Nadovim

Remember the important brain health enzyme from above, NAD+? Well, Nadovim is the only non-prescription supplement that features NAD+. Nadovim also contains herbal ingredients, minerals, and other nutrients that are backed by research to support focus, concentration, energy levels, memory, and other aspects of cognitive wellness.

When To See A Brain Health Specialist

You don’t have to wait until you’re older to see a brain health specialist. And you don’t have to necessarily see a neurologist to support cognitive function. Instead, you may benefit from an Innovative Medicine therapy. Don’t wait until a cognitive disorder manifests until you take charge of your brain health.

If you’re seeking an alternative to a primary care physician for cognitive health for either you or a family member, there are options. Seeing a loved one suffer from memory problems and neurological disorders is one of the most difficult ordeals in life.

There’s no guarantee that the Innovative Medicine paradigm will prevent geriatric memory problems. However, it’s comforting to know that you don’t have to rely on referrals, caregivers, or worry about getting an accurate diagnosis to support your brain health right now.
