Atherosclerosis

About Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside the arteries, causing them to narrow and harden. Plaque consists of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque can rupture, triggering blood clot formation that can block blood flow or break off and travel to another part of the body, potentially causing heart attack, stroke, or other serious conditions.

How Neurotherapy Helps

Neurotherapy offers complementary approaches for atherosclerosis management by addressing several factors that contribute to cardiovascular health: - Stress regulation: Neurofeedback helps manage the stress response, which is a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis progression - Blood pressure modulation: Biofeedback techniques can help lower blood pressure, reducing strain on arterial walls - Heart rate variability training: Improves autonomic nervous system balance, which is associated with better cardiovascular health - Sleep quality enhancement: Addresses poor sleep, which is linked to increased cardiovascular risk - Lifestyle modification support: Strengthens the neural pathways associated with healthy habits and decision-making Research suggests that these neurotherapy approaches can complement conventional medical treatments for atherosclerosis, potentially slowing disease progression and reducing the risk of complications. The brain-heart connection is powerful, and neurotherapy leverages this relationship to support overall cardiovascular health.
