❓Did you know we use laser on the body as well as the brain?

There are specific acupuncture points that, when stimulated, have been shown to improve both speech and social behavior in children with autism.

Laser acupuncture uses light energy rather than needles, so the treatment is easy and painless. Great for sensory kids.

It seems weird, I know!

We might jokingly call it “the taser” 😂

But trigeminal nerve stimulation is a great way to support brain health.

It boosts blood flow, lowers inflammation, and activates parts of the brain that help with mood and regulation.

This can potentially help kids with ADHD, depression and even brain injury.

It’s just one way we help kids build better brains.

Signs of ADHD in girls:

- Girls are more often inattentive than hyperactive. This could look like daydreaming or forgetfulness.

- Internalizing: Girls may display low self esteem, shyness or anxiety.

- Hyperactivity can look different in girls. Rather than “bouncing off the walls”, they may subtly fidget, interrupt or talk excessively.

- Girls can be better at “masking”, but this takes a toll. The constant effort of masking can lead to exhaustion, frustration or even depression.

Whether they’ve been diagnosed or not, understanding supporting their brains and nervous system is important.

We use therapies like photobiomodulation, neurofeedback, primitive reflex integration and more to help kids regulate and function better.

Frequency is everything in the brain…

From slow delta waves when we’re fast asleep…

To fast gamma waves when we’re intensely focusing.

By providing the right input, we can help the brain shift to a more regulated shape.

Pulsed laser “entrains” the brain to the desired frequencies.

How do we know what frequency to use?

We look at what frequencies are dominating the child’s EEG brain map, and which are lacking.

That gives us the ability to provide just the right input to balance the brain.

Can you relate?

More kids than ever before are suffering with mental health disorders.

There are many reasons for that, but a BIG one is that modern lifestyles do not set kids up for healthy brain development.

Kids aren’t just more sensitive than they used to be- their brains are less healthy.

And the answer is NOT just to medicate 1 in 5 kids.

That’s why I use brain mapping with every child that comes into my practice.

I want to know exactly where the brain is struggling, so that we know how best to support it.

Answering some common questions about laser- let me know if you have a question I don’t get to here!

Q: Is laser evidence-based?

A: There are dozens, if not hundreds, of peer-clinical trials published on laser and light therapy. It’s been shown to be effective in brain injury, depression, dementia and many more conditions. There are around ten published studies now finding benefits for autism specifically. Research is ongoing, and no doubt our protocols will change as we learn even more, but we do know laser has powerful benefits to the brain.

Q: Is laser safe?

A: Laser is one of the safest interventions available when used appropriately, with no serious side effects or adverse events being reported. Safety studies have looked at blood work, MRI, EEG and more and found only positive changes in the brain.

Q: Can I buy a laser to use at home?

A: As I mentioned above, laser is very safe *when used correctly*. Personally, I only recommend use of laser at home under guidance and training by a qualified provider. In other words, I don’t suggest just buying a laser and attempting to use it on your own. In my intensives, we use laser during our sessions, and you also learn to properly implement it at home.

What questions have I missed? Let me know!

Have you tried Neurofeedback with your child? What was your experience like??

I love Neurofeedback because it is a completely non invasive way of helping the brain regulate.

Some of the benefits that my families have reported include:

Better sleep
Improved focus
Emotional regulation
Reduced anxiety

Neurofeedback can be helpful to help kids with conditions including ADHD, mood disorders, post-concussion and even autism.

It works by simple positive reinforcement- but instead of rewarding behaviors, we’re rewarding actual brain activity, getting right to the source.

For example, the neurofeedback game might reward calming alpha brainwaves, giving the child an incentive to learn to calm their mind.

As the child learns to stay in a regulated brain state, the brain adopts this new pattern and big changes can be seen in mood and behavior.
