Balance Atlanta BrainCore Therapy Offers FDA-Approved Brain Test to Diagnose and Treat ADHD Symptoms

As kids head back to school, Balance Atlanta BrainCore Therapy’s Dr. Caroline von Fluegge is among the few in the country that now treats patients with the FDA-approved QEEG brain mapping technology. Helping to diagnose and address symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children by measuring brainwaves, the testing of BrainCore Therapy provides a map of the brain. Combined with a metabolic profile and a cognitive emotional personality profile, it is the basis for neurofeedback training. The brainwave testing and neurofeedback provide specific, measurable and non-invasive treatment protocols appropriate for children as well as adults.

“The brainwave test identifies unbalanced patterns that may be related to focus and attention issues while the neurofeedback is designed to teach children how to better regulate their brainwave patterns with focus, impulse control and serenity,” said Dr. von Fluegge. “Rather than temporarily masking symptoms with drugs, forty years of neurofeedback research has shown that the results are permanent. Furthermore, the American Academy of Pediatrics listed neurofeedback as a level one best support treatment for ADHD as it is effective as medication but without dangerous side-effects.”

As an expert in alternative healthcare for over 20 years and founder of Balance Atlanta Family Chiropractic in Buckhead, Dr. Caroline von Fluegge integrated BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback and brainwave testing several years ago. Seeing so many patients who were anxious, depressed, had issues with ADHD, insomnia and PTSD, she researched alternative solutions to treating chronic issue patients without drugs and that was complimentary to a wellness-based lifestyle. BrainCore was the perfect fit to add to the practice’s mission of offering the highest quality wellness care to everyone in pursuit to a healthy, inspired and productive quality of life.

Joy of Sharing Holiday Program in Atlanta

The Fulton County Department of Family and Children Services invites you to participate in the Joy of Sharing Program. We need donors to assist in meeting the Holiday wishes of the 1,000 children in foster care who have been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. Wish lists for these children are filled through monetary donations, donated gifts or the combination of the two from companies, organizations and individuals.

When a child is matched with a donor, you will receive the child’s name, age and three items from his/her special “Wish List”. We request that all gifts be delivered from December 3rd-20th to our donation warehouse at 1218 Old Chattahoochee Ave. Additionally, monetary and gift card donations (Target, Old Navy, Blockbuster, Best Buy, etc) are needed to purchase gifts for children not matched and to meet their ongoing needs throughout the year.

There are Target coupons available, so people can be even more generous.

We need your assistance in making this a very special Holiday Season for the children. If you would like to sponsor a child where you will receive the child’s name, age and three items from their special “wish list” or need any further information, please do not hesitate to call Volunteer Resources Coordinator Delores S. Battle at 404-699-4387.
