Biofeedback and Neurofeedback have two completely different protocols. Volitional neurofeedback is much safer than non-volitional neurotherapies. Non-volitional use sound, light, magnetic and electric pulses to try to trigger the brain into new waveforms. This can be problematic. Volitional neurofeedback requires the subject to make conscious thoughts to try to redirect how the brain functions. It is much safer.

Dr Walker in Dallas has had success with his protocols. In fact, a mom from CT took her daughter to Dr Walker for treatment and had positive but not complete recovery results. Her daughter had many treatments over a long period.

I agree with your chiro about upper neck issues and the need to look deeply into such a possibility. The Botox is worth considering. Does he have any tenderness at the bony parts behind his ears ? This could be treated with Botox, at least for the short term. Has he been checked for a TMJ disorder caused by the fall ?

How about larger doses of Omega 3 fish oil ? Is he taking B-12 or B-2 ?

I'm from CT (Naugatuck). What part are you in ?

13 years old is a challenging time for such an injury because the brain is rapidly maturing and hormones are changing.

btw, I think we have a member who tried the DC Neurofeedback center without much success.

My best to you both.
