Mild Cognitive Impairment Treatment

Cognitive decline can be confusing and distressing, but it’s not a situation you have to navigate alone. Mild cognitive impairment treatment slows down cognitive changes. Find relief and support with the exceptional team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic.

Managing and Treating Mild Cognitive Decline

Cognitive changes occur naturally as people age. Memory, thinking, concentration, and language can all be affected. The speed at which the brain processes information also slows down. You may notice issues with short-term memory, the ability to clearly express ideas, or the ability to easily make decisions. 

Mind cognitive impairment (MCI) happens when these changes outpace natural decline. If you notice signs of cognitive decline, the team at Abbey Neuropsychology is here to help. Treatment for mild cognitive impairment can minimize symptoms and slow down changes.

We offer local treatments in our Palo Alto, California, clinic and telehealth appointments across California, Texas, and Florida. To get a thorough assessment and customized treatment plan, call the office today.

Therapies That Support Cognitive Well-Being

The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic offers evidence-based therapies that help slow down cognitive decline. Participating in activities that build your cognitive reserve or therapies designed to retrain your cognitive processes may lead to improvements that last for years.

We curate personalized treatment plans for each individual based on our evaluation, the client’s needs, and ongoing assessment. MCI treatment plans may include:

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback maps brain activity and then uses biofeedback to change patterns of electrical activity and improve nerve activity—including nerve activity in the brain necessary for cognitive processes.

Working memory holds pieces of information in your brain just long enough for you to use them. Cogmed is a computerized training problem that boosts working memory to preserve cognitive function.

Near-infrared light therapy stimulates biological changes at the cellular level, activating energy production and potentially increasing brain chemicals necessary for optimal functioning, even as we age.

CVAC consists of a podlike device that activates changes in air pressure to give your body the benefits of exercise without joint stress and intensive physical exertion. This physical well-being supports overall cognitive well-being.

These care options are paired with personalized support from our expert team for holistic, compassionate care. If you or a loved one are worried about cognitive decline, request an appointment with Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cognitive Decline

What is the difference between mild cognitive decline and dementia?

Mild cognitive impairment may affect your memory or other aspects of your cognitive abilities, such as your ability to organize tasks or make decisions. While these changes are worrisome, MCI doesn’t stop you from working or socializing.

By comparison, dementia—such as Alzheimer’s disease—leads to progressive changes that interfere with performing normal daily tasks.

Typically, treatment slows the progression of impairment rather than completely reversing it. Mild cognitive impairment sometimes precedes steeper cognitive decline. Around 10% of people with the condition develop some kind of dementia. Early intervention offers support for cognitive function, even for those who later face worsening symptoms.

Overall health contributes to cognitive wellness. Those who want to keep their minds working well should also: 

  • Tend to social relationships 
  • Practice good sleeping habits
  • Maintain proper nutrition 
  • Regularly exercise 
  • Avoid smoking, drinking, and head injuries
