Default Neurofeedback Advice

Hi Mike,
I am just about to start a course of neurofeedback for Post concussion symptoms resulting from a car accident that I had two years ago.

Questions:
1. How can you tell if it is really helping? I was told by the therapist that sometime you feel worse in order to get better and other times you feel better. This sounds like covering your bases.
2. How long did it take for you to start feeling better? In other words: How long can I expect to wait before seeing results?
3. What sort of neurotherapy did you have? I am going to start with LENS but there are other typse available. What are the pros and cons? What worked for you?

That's about it. I'm sure there are other people out there considering neurotherapy, so I think that your answers might be of general interest.

Thanks.

If you, or anyone you know, has incurred a head injury and you/he/she is not recovering, I would encourage you to look into neurofeedback. You can just google it and find all kinds of information about it. If you live in a big city, you will probably have dozens of therapists in your town who specialize in this. If not, you can also do it remotely with specialists such as Dr. Victoria Ibric or Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler. My quick story is that I incurred 6 concussions while playing rugby in college. I have been doing neurofeedback for a couple of years to relieve symptoms and I have made great gains thus far. If you have any specific questions, just let me know.
Cheers,

Mike
