Schedule Your QEEG (Brain Map)
Your First Step to Get Started with Neurofeedback Therapy
Are you or a loved one struggling with the challenges of ADD/ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, or migraines?
Are you looking for ways to unlock peak performance in business or sports?
Do you want to improve your focus and memory?
A Brain Map or QEEG is the first step on your journey to a brain that performs exactly the way you want it to. It’s used to look at brainwave patterns and find any areas that can be improved with neurofeedback training. This technology could help with focus, sleep, anxiety, depression, migraines, memory and more.
What is QEEG?
A QEEG, or quantitative electroencephalogram, is a type of brain map that measures electrical activity in the brain and shows if any parts of the brain are underperforming or overperforming. It is often used to visualize patterns associated with ADHD, anxiety, depression and other conditions. QEEG is a tool that we use to evaluate a patient’s brainwave pattern and determine any imbalances that contribute to the problems that the patient is experiencing.
What Conditions Can be shown on a QEEG?
A brain map is used to identify and create a custom treatment plan for dysregulated brainwave patterns that may result in the following conditions
ADHD
Anxiety
Concussions and TBIs
Insomnia
Trauma and PTSD
Depression
Epilepsy
Mild to Moderate Memory Loss
Migraines
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
In addition to the above conditions, a QEEG can also be used to identify ways to improve focus, and cognitive function and decrease stress levels.

How Does a QEEG Work?
During a QEEG appointment, a cap is placed on the scalp (similar to a swim cap), gel is placed in the sensors and the cap records brainwaves, which are then analyzed to identify patterns and abnormalities. It’s non-invasive and doesn’t put anything in your brain.
The sensors record brainwave activity and the results are compared to normal brainwave patterns to see which areas of the brain are not performing as needed. Brain mapping is neither invasive nor painful. The cap is like an antenna that is just simply reading what brainwaves your brain is producing. The results of your QEEG are compared to the optimal brain wave activity for peak performers based on your gender and age. By analyzing the differences between your brain map and the optimal one we are able to create a custom treatment plan designed to bring your brain to its ideal performance.The information gained from the QEEG allows the doctor to recognize the issue and create a personalized neurofeedback therapy plan.
How is Neurofeedback Used to Support Challenging Conditions?
Neurofeedback is a noninvasive therapy that we use to correct brain imbalances; it teaches better self-regulation by using a reward-based training system. Based on the brain map, a neurofeedback treatment plan will be personalized to the patient’s needs to target dysregulation linked to the parts of the brain that are not performing ideally.
QEEG is a tool used to identify brain imbalances and create a customized treatment plan for the patient. A brain map also helps us identify if neurofeedback therapy can be used to help a patient with their neurological challenges.
How Will Patients Know if Their Brain Function is Improving?
After a series of treatment sessions, a subsequent QEEG will be performed to help the patient and the doctor visualize objectively changing brainwave patterns into normalization. As healing progresses training is often adjusted based on the current findings. Patients will typically begin experiencing alleviated symptoms, allowing for both visual and tangible proof of improvement.

Understanding the Importance of Brainwaves
Our brainwaves are foundational to who we are and how we function, playing a role in everything from focus and relaxation to creativity and deep sleep. At New Beginnings Wellness Center & BrainCore Clinic in Smithtown, NY, we recognize that each type of brainwave has a distinct purpose and impact on our well-being. Let’s explore how these waves influence various aspects of our health, from mental clarity to emotional resilience, and what it means to have a balanced brainwave profile.
Beta Waves: Your Wakeful, Focused State
Beta waves dominate when we’re alert and engaged. These waves drive our critical thinking, organization, and conscious awareness, helping us complete tasks, solve problems, and interact with the world. However, an excess of beta waves can lead to heightened stress, irritability, and even anxiety, disrupting mental harmony.
Excessive Beta: Can result in high adrenaline, anxiousness, tension, and difficulty unwinding.
Deficient Beta: May contribute to symptoms like ADHD, sluggish thinking, or low energy.
Balanced Beta: Supports clear focus, memory, and effective problem-solving.
Ways to Boost Beta: Natural stimulants like caffeine and herbal teas may temporarily heighten beta activity, supporting short bursts of focus.
Alpha Waves: The Gateway to Calm
Alpha waves help bridge our conscious and subconscious minds, creating a calm, relaxed state that’s essential for stress management. When we are at ease, alpha waves promote a sense of calm focus, allowing for smoother transitions from busyness to rest. If stress blocks alpha waves, we may feel edgy or unable to unwind.
Excessive Alpha: Can lead to over-relaxation, distractibility, or a dreamlike state.
Deficient Alpha: Often linked to stress, insomnia, and OCD-like symptoms.
Optimal Alpha: Aids relaxation and mental readiness.
Ways to Enhance Alpha: Meditation, relaxation techniques, and certain natural supplements can help increase alpha waves, fostering relaxation.
Delta Waves: Rest and Rejuvenation
Delta waves are the slowest and are primarily observed during restorative sleep stages. This deep-sleep brainwave activity is crucial for immune function, physical healing, and overall rejuvenation. When delta waves are balanced, we wake up feeling refreshed and restored. Insufficient delta wave production, however, can lead to poor-quality sleep and low vitality.
Excessive Delta: May be seen in brain injuries, chronic fatigue, or cognitive fog.
Deficient Delta: Often results in an inability to feel fully rested or restored.
Optimal Delta: Supports healing, immune strength, and deep sleep.
Increasing Delta: Healthy sleep hygiene, calming nighttime routines, and gentle relaxation techniques may promote the natural rise of delta waves during sleep.
Understanding these brainwave patterns can be a powerful tool in optimizing our mental and emotional well-being. At New Beginnings Wellness Center & BrainCore Clinic, we offer advanced neurofeedback and wellness therapies designed to support balanced brainwave function, allowing each client to unlock their potential for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

See Our Patients’ Experience with Neurofeedback Training
I came to New Beginnings Wellness Center on the recommendation of a friend. I can not say enough as to how pleased I have been with the care I have received. The center is clean, well run, and a calming environment. Staff members are friendly, accommodating, professional, and well trained. The chiropractic care is excellent. You will feel heard and your needs will be met. Procedures will be well explained, effective, and personalized to you. I am halfway through a course of neurofeedback sessions and have seen many positive changes. I highly recommend the center to those seeking this type of care.
My son was diagnosed with ADHD around the age of 6 but has been struggling with reading since kindergarten, with his impulsivity being one of the main factors in his struggles. Before resorting to medication Dr. Chiappino and New Beginnings Wellness center was recommended to us. Dr. Chiappino and her staff have been nothing but welcoming and supportive since day one. We began a nine week at home Neurofeedback training program with my son to help with his attention and impulsivity. From day one Dr. Chiappino has been checking in with us at least twice a week to see how things are going and the results she is seeing on her end. It has been a great experience and we are looking forward to the end results!
New Beginnings is an oasis for healing. Dr. Keri and her staff are warm and welcoming. As a holistic practitioner myself, I have referred many people. Chiropractic adjustments are necessary for wellness. I’ve benefited from her neurological assistance with the brain core program. This practice is a must do in your healing toolbox!
I have been a patient of Dr. Chiappino’s for over 16 years now. I am in a wheelchair & was born with a very complex condition that comes with frequent complications that often leave me absolutely debilitated. In recent years, my husband and I have come to the conclusion that our home is no longer accessible to me and my needs. We had to make the decision recently as to whether or not we were going to stay in our home or move out of state and build our home from scratch. Well, recently we decided to stay and renovate our home to accommodate those needs. One of the single biggest deciding factors was in fact, staying close to Dr. Chiappino and her amazing staff. Dr. Chiappino’s treatments have been SO crucial to my wellbeing that I now come every 6 weeks to keep my complications & pain levels to a minimum. Dr. Chiappino has given me a quality of life that I truly could not have if I was not under her care. Dr. C & her staff have come to my rescue more times than I can count over these last 16 years and I am deeply grateful. At one point last summer, I was experiencing life altering complications that drastically lowered my quality of life for some time. I decided to give neurofeedback a try for 3 months and honestly for me, it was life changing in the best way imaginable. It gave me my quality of life back. I just can’t say enough about how much New Beginnings Wellness Center has impacted my life. In terms of her staff and the office itself, just like Dr. C, her staff is incredibly compassionate, kind, personable and make me feel so welcome each and every time. The atmosphere of her office is incredibly soothing and puts you at ease almost instantly. I absolutely love coming to her office! All in all, I truly don’t know what I’d do without Dr. C’s treatments and continued support. In my opinion, it just doesn’t get any better than NBWC.
This is a fantastic chiropractic office! You will get exemplary personal service every time you visit here. Dr. C. is the most knowledgeable, compassionate, professional. I have been coming to her for about 10 years and I’ve also used her for Brain Core Therapy, which was very effective. I receive chiropractic care at least one time a week, and sometimes more if I need it. She has never disappointed me and goes out of her way to listen and address all of my needs. I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed. I feel great each time I walk out of her office.
I have been going to Dr. Keri Chiappino for over 10 years, she is a phenomenal chiropractor and person! She is so caring about her patients! Braincore has been a wonderful addition to my self care for myself and my daughter. I highly recommend their practice.
