Conditions we treat
From debilitating pain to peak performance
Neurofeedback and biofeedback can help with a wide range of symptoms, because nearly every symptom you feel has a signature in your brain’s electrical activity.
Chronic Pain
Migraines, fibromyalgia, CRPS, neuralgias and persistent back, neck and shoulder pain.
11 conditionsNeurological Conditions
Concussion, TBI, stroke recovery, seizures, MS and dementia symptoms.
9 conditionsMental Health
Anxiety, stress, panic, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, brain fog and fatigue.
8 conditionsCognitive Enhancement
ADHD, attention and learning difficulties, and peak performance for work, school, sport and creativity.
9 conditionsSleep
Insomnia, trouble falling asleep, and improving restorative deep sleep.
3 conditionsVision
Macular degeneration, NAION, optic neuropathy and vision loss after stroke.
4 conditionsYour path to results
A plan built from your own brain activity
An MRI shows the structure of your brain. A qEEG brain map shows how it’s actually functioning, so your treatment targets exactly what needs to change.

qEEG brain map
Painless sensors record your brain activity to find areas with too much or too little activity.

Personalized protocol
We prescribe a specific combination of Neuro EP treatments based on your exact brain map.

Train & re-map
2–3 sessions per week in office or at home, with follow-up maps to track your progress.
Neuro-physiology
Your brain broadcasts on different frequencies
Like radio stations, each brainwave frequency carries different information. When the wrong station is too loud in the wrong place, you feel it as pain, anxiety, poor sleep or brain fog.
Delta
1–4 HzSlow waves that dominate deep, restorative sleep.
Alpha
8–12 HzThe calm, alert and relaxed state, strongest at the back of the brain.
High Beta
20–30 HzExcess is common with migraines, chronic pain, anxiety and a racing mind.
A different approach
Train the brain, instead of medicating all of it
Many neuro-active medications change activity throughout the entire brain, and the effect fades with each dose. Neuro EP treatments target only the networks that need to change, and teach your brain to keep the improvement.
Neuro-active medications
- Travel to every part of the brain, including areas that don’t need treatment
- Benefits are temporary and only last until the next dose
- Can create dependence, and symptoms may worsen when stopping
- Side effects such as brain fog, poor memory and fatigue
Neuro EP treatments
- Target only the specific networks shown on your brain map
- Improvements are learned through neuroplasticity and are typically long-lasting
- No medication, no needles, and nothing enters your body
- Measurable progress with follow-up brain maps
Never stop or change a medication without talking to your prescribing provider.

Our physician
Robert A. Mericle, MD
Board-certified neurosurgeon
“All pain is created and processed in the Pain Network in your brain. We can perform a brain map that shows the abnormal activity, then use that exact information to turn the intensity of the Pain Network down.”
Dr. Mericle has treated thousands of neurosurgery patients over two decades. He has been named one of “America’s Top Physicians,” selected for “Best Doctors in America” multiple times, and featured in People Magazine and on CBS’s “The Doctors.”
