Home neurofeedback training

Who is home neurofeedback training for?

It’s mainly for people who can’t easily get to Littleton on a regular schedule, such as patients who live out of town.

Neurofeedback works through repetition, so training means coming back often. For families in Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Ken Caryl and nearby, that usually means sessions in our neurofeedback room. If you live farther away, or your schedule makes frequent trips hard, home training lets you keep up the practice without the drive, while Dr. Dody still oversees your plan. Whether it’s a good fit for you is something he talks through with you, not something we assume.

How does home neurofeedback training work?

It starts in the office, continues at home, and comes back to the office for updated brain maps.

Everything begins with a 20-channel qEEG brain map, the same as for in-office training. Dr. Dody uses your map to decide whether neurofeedback makes sense and, if it does, how to set up your training. Before you leave the office, we walk you through the equipment and the software on your home computer so you feel confident using it on your own. We’ll also go over what your computer needs before you start.

What is a home neurofeedback session like?

Much like a session in our office: you sit comfortably with a few small sensors on your scalp while you watch or listen, and the feedback does the work.

The sensors only read activity your brain is already producing. Nothing is sent into the brain, and there are no needles. A few simple habits help: choose a calm, softly lit room, turn off other electronics apart from your computer, keep your phone away from the equipment, and avoid caffeine for a couple of hours beforehand. If anything about a session feels off, contact the office and we’ll help.

Why do I need to come back for brain maps?

Because the map is how Dr. Dody keeps your training grounded in measurement rather than guesswork.

An updated map lets you both see how your brain activity compares with your starting point and decide what to do next.A brain map is an assessment, not a diagnosis. It doesn’t diagnose ADHD, anxiety, depression or anything else; only a licensed clinician can do that. How qEEG brain mapping works.

What does home neurofeedback cost, and does insurance cover it?

Costs depend on your plan, so Dr. Dody reviews them with you personally at your report of findings, before you choose a care plan.

Insurance generally doesn’t cover neurofeedback, and there isn’t an insurance network for it, so plan on paying for it directly. Dody Chiropractic is a direct-pay practice, and HSA and FSA cards are welcome. Individual results vary, and we don’t promise outcomes or a set number of sessions. The free call costs nothing, and you can ask about cost then.
