At Carlin Chiropractic, we know that true wellness starts with understanding the body — and the brain plays a vital role in that balance.
One of the most advanced tools we use to help you achieve better health is the QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography) assessment.
Think of a QEEG as a “brain map” — a non-invasive way to see how your brain is functioning. By measuring the brain’s electrical activity at the cortical (outer) layer, we can detect patterns that may influence your focus, mood, sleep, memory, and even physical wellbeing.
What is a QEEG?
Your brain cells communicate using tiny electrical impulses. These signals occur at different speeds — called brainwaves — such as Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
A QEEG measures these brainwaves and compares them to a large database of what’s considered “optimal” activity.
When certain areas of the brain are overactive or underactive, it can affect how you think, feel, and function. By identifying these irregularities, we can gain valuable insights into your:
- Cognitive performance
- Emotional balance
- Neurological health
- Physical function
This information can guide a care plan tailored to your needs — which may include gentle spinal therapy, Neural Organisation Technique, photobiomodulation, neurofeedback training, nutrition strategies, and more.
What to Expect During Your QEEG Appointment
Before your visit:
We’ll provide you with a simple checklist to follow. This ensures we get the clearest, most accurate reading possible. If anything on the list is tricky for you, let us know — we’ll work with you to find alternatives.
On the day:
- Welcome & briefing – You’ll meet our friendly QEEG technician, who will explain the process and answer any last-minute questions.
- Preparation (30–45 minutes) – We’ll clean small areas of skin on your forehead and earlobes, then fit a comfortable cap lined with tiny sensors. Some cool gel is applied to help the sensors pick up your brain activity clearly.
- Recording (10–15 minutes) – You’ll sit quietly for a few minutes with your eyes open, then with your eyes closed. That’s it — no needles, no discomfort.
- Afterwards – The cap is removed, any gel is cleaned away, and you’re ready to go. The only “side effect” may be slightly messy hair until your next wash!
After Your QEEG
We carefully review your brainwave data, filter out any interference, and prepare your personalised brain map.
At your follow-up appointment, we’ll sit down together to go through your results in clear, easy-to-understand language. You’ll see exactly what we see — and we’ll discuss the best next steps to support your brain and body health.
