We help people relieve pain, recover health, and renew lost or latent abilities:

Relieving pain
Headaches and migraine pain are often the result of stress or a related psychological or physical cause. Analysis of the pain through feedback instruments provides a personal control component to pain management. People in pain are trained to monitor the context of their pain and to actually alter the physical conditions that produce or increase it. Often, dependence on pharmaceuticals can be reduced or even eliminated in favor of this self-regulating form of pain management.

Aiding Recovery
Recovery from accidents or illness begins with an evaluation of the problem, the symptoms, and their history. The next step is an analysis of the brain's neuroelectrical functioning utilizing a Quantitative Electroencepalograph (QEEG). The individual results are then compared to normative databases and, if appropriate, a training plan is developed. Usually, treatment sessions of 40-50 minutes occur one or more times a week, involving EEG monitoring and feedback via computer generated graphic displays and sounds. The process is like playing a video game controlled by the brain as the patient becomes the primary catalyst in his/her own recovery.

Renewing Abilities
The brain is amazingly adaptable and capable of learning. If we give it adequate cues about what to change, we can learn to improve our own performance. Making information about its functioning available to the brain and asking it to make certain adjustments, enables it to do so. When the mature brain is doing a good job of regulating itself and the person is alert and attentive, the brain waves (EEG) show a particular pattern. We challenge the person to maintain this "high-performance" alert and attentive state. Just as it assimilates anything else, the brain eventually learns and retains this new skill.

Assisting Evaluations
Professionals who represent clients in a healing or legal capacity often require information that relates to an acquired brain injury, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or psychological/health issues resulting from abuse or neglect. Life Quality Resources offers consultations and assessments based on Quantitative EEG assessments, Psychological Evaluations, or Nursing Standard of Practice Evaluations. LQR staff is available for:

• Expert Witness Testimony
• Psychological Consultations
• Psychological Evaluations
• Nursing Home Abuse/Neglect/ Malpractice Issues
• Psychiatric Hospital Abuse/Malpractice Issues
• Medical Case Reviews
