Pain Real Life Story - Neurotherapy Treatment |
By Susan Bernstein, LGSW, RRT |
Introduction
For 25 years, I worked as a registered respiratory therapist and worked in the hospital and homecare arenas. However, I was lucky enough in my mid-forties to have another chance to return to school and follow a path that I always wanted – to join the social work profession.
After graduating in 2004 with a Masters Degree in Social Work, I decided to pursue a medically oriented social work approach in Neurotherapy. Neurotherapy is a form of biofeedback used to treat many disorders.
First Hand ExperienceI first handedly experienced success with neurotherapy with my daughter and myself. My daughter had had a head injury when she was an infant; she had always had good social skills but in the 5th grade had a difficult time with her schoolwork. Her main problems were concentration, confusion, and memory. After having only a few treatments of neurotherapy her schoolwork improved significantly. Her memory, cognitive, and organizational skills improved and now 5 years later after those few treatments she is an honor student entering the 11th grade.
As for myself I have suffered with migraines for many years. Pharmaceuticals and bed were the only relief for me. After trying neurotherapy treatments (again only a few treatments) I now only have one headache a month and that is a hormonal migraine.
I have been working since graduation doing neurotherapy and other forms of biofeedback at a neurotherapy center in the Washington, DC area. It is very exciting to be part of a team that gets positive results which creates a win-win situation for therapists and people with many problems. |
