You have accessed the home for Neuropsychology Rehabilitation Services - LifeSpan. We are a multidisciplinary practice that offers a wide array of neuropsychological (NRS) and traditional psychological services (LifeSpan). From here you are able to access information regarding our services, as well as information regarding both our staff and office locations.

It is our goal to offer comprehensive, quality care from the time of consultation all the way through treatment. With a particular emphasis on health psychology we employ the use of clinical skills adapted to those with medical conditions. Previously, physical health was separated from mental health and treated in different settings. We now realize the importance of emotional, cognitive and behavioral factors contributing to and a consequence of health, illness, or injury. We recognize the uncertainty and confusion that accompanies both traditional health and mental health issues and we hope to provide as much clarity as we can. The best way to get the answers to specific questions that are unique to your particular situation is to directly contact us.

Biofeedback

In the fast-paced, multi-tasking culture we live in it is not uncommon to experience intense feelings of stress, sadness, anxiety and pressure. It is often underestimated and overlooked how important relaxation is not only to mental health but physical health as well. The old cliché that stress kills has its merit. Increases in stress that goes unchecked and improperly or inefficiently dealt with can affect nearly every facet of a persons life, whether they’re aware of the effects or not. Unknown to most people, physiological stress affects the entire body through muscle tension, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, perspiration, and brain wave activity.

Biofeedback is one of the true fusions between technology and traditional relaxation techniques. Holistic in its approach our biofeedback program offers insight into the bodies stress response. With real-time feedback via computerized EEG we are able to monitor physiological changes (increased muscle tension) connected to heightened autonomic nervous system arousal secondary to conditions ranging from panic attacks to pain management. Biofeedback teaches numerous, proven relaxation techniques that can be easily learned and quickly implemented to help manage depressions, pain (acute and chronic), anxiety-related conditions, headaches (migraine, cluster and tension) excessive stress, sleep difficulties, high/low blood pressure, digestive system disorders, and Raynaud’s disease, among others.

All people can benefit from the positive effects of a strategic, individualized biofeedback program to more effectively respond to the crisis of an active, acute, or chronic condition. Please, contact our main office to schedule a consultation if you recognize any of the warning signs associated with inappropriate management of stress related conditions. Remember the importance of rediscovering proper and deep relaxation.
