Getting Excited About Brain Balance
Improving brain function helps you live a more functional life
At Community Chiropractic & Acupuncture of Park Slope, we support holistic methods for training the brain. Brain fitness refers to neuroplasticity- the idea that you can create new neural connections and improve your brain performance through simply using your brain; clinical evidence is telling us that it is that simple!
And this concept applies to people of all ages, and especially those who are looking to recover from traumatic brain injuries or strokes. Using sensory training exercises and balance improvement techniques, you create natural challenges for your brain that elicit a response and an improvement in overall functioning. This translates to a real improvement in overall wellness.
Balancing the Brain Through Exercise
Increasing coordination of the left and right brain
Indeed, conditioning your brain starts with being more mindful. The first exercise we often recommend is to simply tune in- challenge yourself to clear your mind and really focus on the present moment; the sounds, smells, and sights of your immediate surroundings are something that we often breeze through without truly perceiving. At Community Chiropractic & Acupuncture of Park Slope, we also encourage the following techniques to improve hemispheric brain balance:
- Visualization
- Logic games and puzzles
- Problem-solving strategies
In conjunction with a balanced, holistic lifestyle, focusing on coordination of your left and right brain can be a powertful tool for improving wellness. There is a lot to be gained from improving brain balance- from an uptick in confidence to an increase in brain function, we want you to feel your best! Check in at our new office in Park Slope and start taking advantage of a more balanced brain today.
