The effects of meditation on the body have been studied extensively and findings show that meditation can affect both the brain's structure and functions.

Structurally, those who meditate tend to have increased cortical thickness (gray matter concentration) of the hippocampus - the part of the brain responsible for regulating emotions and memory, as well as certain areas of the brain that play roles in emotion regulation, self-awareness, compassion, and introspection.

They also tend to have decreased volume in the amygdala- the part of the brain responsible for emotions such as stress, fear, and anxiety.

Some expert meditators have been known to develop a thicker cerebral cortex-the outer layer of the brain responsible for more sophisticated thought processes such as introspection and abstract thinking.

Additionally meditators are are better able to regulate the connection between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for regulating the responses to stress that start in the amygdala. Meditators will still experience stress but are better at maintaining calm and responding effectively.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition that develops after an experiencing a traumatic event.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that about 6% of the U.S population will have PTSD at some point in their lives; affecting about 13 million U.S adults during a given year.

PTSD can be a debilitating condition that can result in an individual being unable to work, participate in activities they used to enjoy, or be in certain environments.

Be sure to follow our page as we start this new series on PTSD where we will explore the statistics and facts surrounding PTSD.

According to the CDC, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) contributes to more that 611 hospitalizations and 176 deaths per day. (These estimates do not account for the many TBIs treated in the emergency department, urgent care, primary care, or those that go untreated, suggesting that the actual number of TBIs is much higher.

Studies show that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can enhance recovery and support brain activity by increasing circulation in the brain while also reducing hypoxia and neuroinflammation.

Did you know that IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback is great for kids!?
IASIS MCN is safe and effective for kids, in fact, they tend to respond more quickly than adults since they have higher levels of neuroplasticity than adults do.

IASIS MCN is also a passive process, meaning they do not have to focus on a particular task in order for the treatment to be effective. They can read, play games, chat with their technician or pet our in office therapy dog Stella!
This makes treatment more enjoyable for everyone involved and avoids stress that may come as a result of having to complete a specific task or "test".
IASIS MCN uses small sensors to painlessly stimulate the brain. This stimulation allows the brain to develop new neural pathways and can alleviate many mental health symptoms associated with:
🧠 Anxiety
🧠 Depression
🧠 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
🧠 Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
🧠 Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been demonstrated to substantially reduce inflammation throughout the body.

HBOT drives increased levels of oxygen into the body, which travels through the blood stream, subsequently reducing inflammation and pain.
Studies have shown that HBOT increases anti-inflammatory levels and provides increased cellular aid to heal target regions.

As oxygen serves as one of the primary mechanisms to improve inflammation, HBOT creates the environment where this process is stimulated and enhanced.

Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for inflammation with the following:

Support the Anti-Inflammatory Process at the Cellular Level
✅ Decreases Acute & Chronic Inflammation
✅ Minimizes Pain & Discomfort
✅ Reduces Swelling

Reduce Neuroinflammation
✅ Improves Autism Symptoms
✅ Supports the Prevention & Treatment of Stroke
✅ Reduces Risk of Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Disease

Decrease Gastrointestinal Inflammation
✅ Improves Inflammatory Bowel Disease
✅ Improves Ulcerative Colitis
✅ Improves Nutritional Absorption

Relieve Soft Tissue & Joint Inflammation
✅ Improves Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis
✅ Improves Tendinitis
✅ Accelerates Recovery from Sports-Related & High-Impact Injuries

Prevent the Onset of Chronic Inflammatory-Related Diseases
✅ Reduces Cancer Risk & Progression
✅ Reduces Risk of Atherosclerosis, Heart Attack & Stroke
✅ Improves Diabetic Conditions Linked to Inflammation

Experience all of these benefits and more with HBOT, a Natural, Safe, and Effective treatment.

According to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America individuals with anxiety disorders are two to three times more likely to have an alcohol or other substance abuse disorder at some point in their lives than the general population.

About 20% of Americans with an anxiety or mood disorder (such as depression) have a substance use disorder, and about 20% of individuals with a substance use disorder also have an anxiety or mood disorder.

Often people experiencing anxiety turn to alcohol or other substances to cope with their symptoms but often this ends up making their symptoms even worse.
