IASIS microcurrent neurofeedback
What is IASIS MCN?
The name "IASIS" comes from a Greek word in scripture that refers to curative healing, or to be made whole. The mind plays a key role in wholeness because it controls our autonomic nervous system which influences every organ system in our body. When the brain experiences an insult from physical trauma resulting in concussion or a traumatic brain injury, or an emotional trauma from abuse or other traumatic experience, the brain can get stuck in a stress response. IASIS MCN effectively calms and stabilizes the nervous system, shifting it away from the stress response of "fight or flight" and into a more relaxed state of "rest and digest."
What to expect during an IASIS session
The skin around the face and neck are cleaned and a small amount of conducting paste is used to apply small electrodes similar to an EEG. The electrodes deliver a "microcurrent" of electricity that is so small (1/100 of a AA battery, or 1/1,000, 000 of the energy from a cell phone) most people can't even feel it. The pairs of electrodes are moved to different positions 2-3 more times usually finishing within 15 min. Prep to clean up usually takes 30-45 min. You will be asked to track any symptoms or side effects before, during, and after treatment via a 24 hour observation report.
