New therapies at Honeymoon Bay
Laser acutherapy and neurofeedback therapy are two new health and wellness services offered by the Honeymoon Bay Lodge & Retreat set in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Laser acutherapy is similar to acupuncture except that a soft laser is used in replace of needles. The soft laser is placed on the acupuncture point, stimulating it similar to the way acupuncture needles do. It is primarily used to serve two purposes: an anaesthetic effect and the stimulation of acupuncture points in a therapeutic program. The procedure has some distinct advantages over the traditional needle method. Many patients who are usually afraid of needles, such as children, prefer this. Use of a laser makes it typically a non-invasive, aseptic procedure which significantly reduces the pain and recovery time associated with invasive treatment and improves circulation.

Neurofeedback therapy, also known as EEG Biofeedback or Neurotherapy, is an exercise for the brain that helps to improve and regulate brain function. It is ideal for people who feel like they are stuck in a certain way of functioning and want to change. It helps reduce stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and it has also shown to help those with addictions, attention deficit disorder, autism, and with chronic pain relief. It can improve performance in areas of concentration and attention. Learn more about neurofeedback at www.eeginfo.com.
