Memory Care of Arizona’s Services, Part 3: Neurological Therapies for Memory

Neurological Therapies

For Improving Memory


Neurological Therapies for the Brain

Following the acquisition of the assessment evaluations, and then after determining the causes of the memory loss, the next step is to start the therapy process.

This section describes neurological therapies of Memory Care of Arizona.

Although the common approach to the treatment of a loss of memory is medication, Memory Care of Arizona takes a different and specialized approach to addressing the problem from a number of neurological methods, with the object of improving both the brain function and brain power.

It is important to know that Memory Care of Arizona’s therapies specialize in addressing the conditions that cause the malfunctioning of memory.  The main therapy is that of EEG Neurofeedback, using the individual’s Brain Map and the Report from the Neurologist to direct therapy to the parts of the brain that are malfunctioning.   Here are some of the neurological therapies that Memory Care of Arizona uses in the clinic.

Neurofeedback Therapies:   Advanced neurological therapies.

Processes for Cognitive Rehabilitation:   To increase mental performance.

Audio Visual Brain Brightening:    Improving memory and recall processes.

Nutritional Programs:    Specific to the deficiencies of the brain.

Programs to Decrease Clogged Arteries:   For circulation to the brain.

Memory Care of Arizona provides these advanced therapies to patients who are suffering from memory loss, Improving Their Memory and their Quality of Life.

Neurological Rehabilitation Programs

The unique and prestigious Neurological Rehabilitation Programs provided by Memory Care of Arizona, are the reasons for the success of Memory Care of Arizona in improving memory and restoring the ability of the brain to perform better.

It is the ability of Memory Care of Arizona to understand the difference between what most people refer to as  “Alzheimer’s”, and what may not be Alzheimer’s at all !!! This unique knowledge, of finding the MAIN CAUSE of memory loss as identified by neurological assessments, that points to the correct therapy according to the cause of the memory loss problem.

In being able to determine the exact cause of the memory loss problem, Memory Care of Arizona provides the most effective therapies, according the cause of the problem, for improving memory.

The important point here is that the advanced knowledge of Memory Care of Arizona, through the EEG Brain Mapping and Neurologist Report, enables Memory Care of Arizona to quickly establish the neurological conditions of an individual’s brain.  The initial evaluations enable Memory Care of Arizona to clearly define the nature of the problem, as a way to define the cause of memory loss in order to establish the correct therapy for the problem.

These important areas, of establishing the cause of the problem and the correct treatments, are the important reasons for the success of Memory Care of Arizona.

Below is a list of therapies that form the basis for the unique approach of Memory Care of Arizona in transforming and improving brain function.  Each is used independently while forming a collective synergistic approach for increasing brain function and memory.

Neurofeedback Sessions to Improve Brain Function

A Nutritional Program for the Brain

A Program to Decrease Clogged Arteries

A Computerized Mental Gym for Cognitive and Mental Acuity

Audio Visual Brain Brightening for Improving Cognition

Psychotherapy for Adjusting to the Life Conditions of the Elderly



The following is a detailed description of each of the above therapies.  The therapies are designed to improve the activity of the brain, increase mental function, and improve memory.

Neurofeedback Therapy for Memory Improvement

Memory Care’s specialized Neurofeedback equipment was designed specifically to improve brain wave patterns, thereby improving brain function.  The advanced technology reduces the abnormal slow waves and increases the good fast waves for cognitive processes.  When the slow waves are out of balance in relation to the faster waves, memory loss occurs.  Putting these waves back into correct balance improves brain function.

Training the brain’s mental activities is similar to training the body, in that the brain is trained, toned, and maintained for improved function.  Instead of muscle training, brain training exercises the neural pathways that allow the brain to have better functioning in areas of cognitive abilities.

A Nutritional Program for Improving Brain Activity

The plan is to begin to revitalize the brain with improved nutrition that is specialized to “feed the brain”, thus allowing the brain to function better.

A Cardiac Program to Increase the Amount of Blood that Reaches and Circulates within the Brain

This cardiac program improves the flow of blood to the brain by reducing blocked arteries. By increasing the flow of blood that reaches the brain, this increases the glucose, oxygen, and nutrients going to the brain.  Memory Care’s specialized programs have the advantage of using the scientific studies of Dr Lewis Ignarro, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1998 for his work with the circulation and the heart.

A Computerized Mental Exercise Program for Cognitive and Mental Acuity

This computerized therapy program provides a choice of over 2,000 hours of systematic mental workouts on the computer, with  thousands of different “games” to improve working and short-term memory, attention, mental processing speed, impulse control, problem solving and more.  Brain training activity is customized for each person according to their personalized weaknesses, from cognitive impairments, traumatic brain injuries, to strokes, and then increasing their personalized neurological activities.  After attaining the desired levels of brain improvement, the processes continue to be used in an on-going program for maintaining mental flexibility and brain acuity for memory and cognitive functioning.

The Computerized Mental Exercise Program improves mental cognitive processing in these ways:

Increases the ability to hold data in working memory and maintain mental acuity.  The five working memory programs train memory of names and faces, sequential pattern recognition, list recall, and visual and auditory working memory.

Improves listening skills, following directions, working memory, mental processing speed.

Builds cognitive skills and self-esteem in individuals who have difficulty processing information due to brain injuries, or visual processing disorders.

Continuous cognitive testing of cognitive skills, while creating a systematic training plan, as well as graphing improvements over time.

The Audio Visual Process for Memory and Recall

Memory Care uses the work of Dr Thomas Budzynski, formally of the University of Washington, who received the ISNR Lifetime Achievement award for his scientific research work in neurofeedback.  Dr Budzynski specializes in brain functioning for the elderly, and his works determine correct procedures for reducing the slow brain waves that cause memory loss.  This process increases brain processing speed and improves memory and recall.  Memory Care of Arizona uses his procedures by the use of the Audio Visual Entrainment, of the DAVID PAL Stimulation from Mind Alive Inc., for the audio visual processing.

Psychotherapy for Adjusting to Life Conditions of the Elderly

Psychotherapy is available for each individual as needed.   As people age, their life situations change, and it is advisable to help them through this process, thereby allowing them to easily move into a more comfortable level of life adjustments.

A Summary

A Complete Memory Care Therapy Program

The therapy provided by Memory Care of Arizona is unique.  The total composite is made up of many independent pieces that together make up a large whole that is synergistic in nature.  While each piece of the therapeutic picture is very good individually by itself, together the whole works together in helping each of the many parts to be better, faster, and more adaptable than each one alone.  Therefore, it is much better to have the composite picture in which all of the pieces work well together to bring about healing of the mind and body.  In this way, the brain reaches out in a manner that is beneficial to the total picture of overall wellness.
