There are four primary types of brainwaves. Delta is associated with deep sleep & the neurotransmitter serotonin. Theta is the twilight brainwave. It is Related to Memory Retrieval, Creativity and the neurotransmitter GABA. Next is Alpha. It is the resting state of the brain, is associated with meditation and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Finally, we have Beta, It’s associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine & is produced when we are awake, alert and attentive. Neurological Dysregulation of brainwaves interferes in the balance of neuro-transmitters in the brain which can cause neurological symptoms.
Brain Based Therapy is Therapy designed to address Neurological Dysregulation by normalizing brain wave patterns. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehab. The therapies I use are brain region specific therapeutic interventions such as targeting exercises to stimulate the parietal lobe.
Migraine sufferers lose days of their life to this disease. The next time you even hear the word Migraine, please mention my name, Dr. Andy Vantreese and Brain Based Therapy. I would love the opportunity to help.

The tense, unbalanced nervous system tends to cause irregular activation patterns in the brain resulting in atypical brain wave patterns called Neurological Dysregulation. Simply put Neurological Dysregulation is an unhealthy, unbalanced and improperly regulated brain.
Conditions related to Neurological Dysregulation Syndrome are Migraines, Tension Headaches, ADD / ADHD, Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Pain, Insomnia, Anxiety Disorders / Panic Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, Memory Loss and Learning Disorders.
Brain Based Therapy is Therapy designed to combat the damage stress causes in the brain. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehab. The therapies I use are brain region specific therapeutic interventions such as targeting exercises to stimulate the parietal lobe.

Mechano-receptors are sensory nerve endings that respond to mechanical stimuli, such as touch, pressure, sound, joint & muscular contractions. They are stimulated with normal joint movement. The proper function of the brain is dependent upon mechano-receptor input from joints and muscles.
Decreased mechano-receptor input from fixated joints causes neurological stress. The tense, unbalanced nervous system tends to cause irregular activation patterns in the brain resulting in atypical brain wave patterns called Neurological Dysregulation.

Nociceptors are sensory nerve endings within joints that transmit signals to the brain indicating abnormal function and injury, physical or chemical, to body tissues. They are stimulated when joints are fixated, misaligned and subluxated.
Nociceptor signals from fixated joints stimulate the hypothalamus causing release of Adreno-corticotropic Releasing Hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary. ACTH stimulates the Adrenal glands to release Cortisol, the primary stress chemical of the body.
Research has demonstrated that sustained Cortisol exposure can cause serious damage to the Hippocampus (memory, mood, space awareness) & Prefrontal Cortex (emotion, arousal, impulsivity, and attention).
Brain Based Therapy is Therapy designed to combat the damage stress causes in the brain. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehab. The therapies I use are brain region specific therapeutic interventions such as audio visual entrainment to normalize brainwaves and eliminate the negative effects of stress.

Neurological Dysregulation is an unhealthy, unbalanced and improperly regulated Brain.
Bruce Perry, a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine, demonstrated that children experiencing prolonged stress had a brain that was nearly 1/3 smaller than the brain of a normal child. So, significant brain cell death happens the longer you are exposed to stress and don’t do anything about it if you are able to.
The stressors which cause Neurological Dysregulation Syndrome are physical & emotional stress, trauma, drugs & toxins, poor nutrition and misaligned & fixated joints called subluxations.

Let’s use Fibromyalgia as an example of Neurological Dysregulation and the damage caused by stress which perpetuates Neurological Dysregulation.
The Journal of Neuroscience reports that the McGill University Center for Research on pain has found; “The longer the individual has had fibromyalgia, the greater the gray matter loss (which means brain cell death), with each year of fibromyalgia being equivalent to 9.5 times the loss in normal aging”.

Ned Kalin, a medical doctor from Jefferson Medical College states “If key parts of the brain, or the entire brain, are weakened by stress chemicals, it could have major effects on the rest of the body. A common denominator in everything from chronic pain to immune dysfunction to heart disease & depression may be in the brain. It seems that when stress damages the brain, it is analogous to lines of code in computer software – neither the body nor mind will operate correctly until the damage is fixed.”
Brain Based Therapy is Therapy designed to combat the damage stress causes in the brain. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehab. The therapies I use are brain region specific therapeutic interventions such as electo-acupuncture on the ear to stimulate the ponto-medullary reticular activating formation in the brain stem.

The modern day theory for Migraines is Neurological Dysregulation. There are more than 100 billion neurons in the brain which form over 100 trillion connections that are electrochemically activated. These electrical connections and the WAVELENGTHS they produce are at the heart of how well the brain functions.
A Healthy, Balanced, and Properly Regulated Nervous System will produce the appropriate brain waves at the appropriate levels and at the appropriate times for any given situation.
Neurological Dysregulation Syndrome is An Unhealthy, Unbalanced and Improperly Regulated Brain!
Brain Based Therapy is Therapy designed to eliminate Neurological Dysregulation. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehab. The therapies I use are brain region specific therapeutic interventions such as unilateral sound to stimulate the temporal lobe.

There are two common accepted Migraine theories. The vascular theory, from 1940, states that abnormal blood flow is the culprit. However this theory is inadequate to explain the full spectrum of Migraine symptoms, such as light sensitivity. The neuro-vascular theory, from 1970, speaks of reduced electrical activity in the brain which leads to an irritated brain stem, abnormal neurotransmitter levels and subsequent vascular spasticity. For me, the question remains, what causes the decreased electrical activity that starts this neuro-vascular cascade?
Brain Based Therapy is Neurological Therapy Consisting of treating reduced electrical activity in the brain. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehabilitation. The therapies I use are brain region specific therapeutic interventions such as saccadic eye movements to stimulate the frontal lobe. Migraine sufferers lose days of their life to this disease.

Symptoms typical of Migraines were described in detail in Babylonian writings dating back to 3000 BC. To this day many people think that a Migraine is just a really bad headache. But Migraines are a neurological DISEASE. Medicine’s approach to Migraines is prescription anti-inflammatories and groups of drugs that affect neurotransmitters such as Opiods, Triptans, anti-epileptics and anti-depressants.
Brain Based Therapy is Neurological Therapy consisting of treating the Cerebellum & Brain Dysfunction. Brain Based Therapy is very different from standard chiropractic care. The key components are oxygen, unilateral adjustments, supplements that support neurotransmitters and brain based rehabilitation. Brain based rehab therapies I use include Exercise with Oxygen Therapy, warm water calorics, uni-lateral auditory stimulation, electro-acupuncture, olfactory stimulation and more.
