When memories start to slip away, it can be extremely concerning. But you aren’t alone. We can help.
Memory is an aspect of cognition, the thinking and reasoning side of your brain. Memory loss can be a bewildering experience, whether it’s partial, temporary, or degenerative. What causes this loss depends on the type of memory loss.
Partial memory loss is when memories of a certain period of time or an event are lost, but the rest of your memory is perfectly fine. Causes of partial memory loss can include:
Head injuries can cause memory loss, commonly known as amnesia, which can be temporary or permanent. Amnesia can leave you with no memory of the events just before your head injury or substantial parts of your life.
However, temporary memory loss can also be caused by:
Degenerative memory loss occurs as you grow older or when you receive consistent trauma to the brain. It’s often called dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. However, there are different causes for this type of memory loss, including:
When you work with Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, you have access to advanced, state-of-the-art brain training solutions to help individuals with memory and cognition problems.
Yes, you should address memory problems early. Memory issues disrupt your daily life, and they could potentially put you in danger. For example, you could get lost while out on your own or forget to turn your stove off.
For partial and temporary memory loss, you may be able to gain back memories or prevent further loss. For degenerative memory loss, while you can’t reduce it, addressing it early can slow the decline and preserve memories for longer.
Take control of your cognitive health with our team in Palo Alto, California. Our cognitive therapy for memory loss supports those with memory problems and other symptoms of cognitive decline without medication.
The clinic is now offering telehealth to clients in California, Texas, and Florida!
Neurofeedback is an all-natural therapy for memory loss that makes lasting changes to your brain’s imbalanced brain waves, a common source of memory problems. Neurofeedback uses positive feedback to help increase attention and improve judgment, as well as enhance memory.
Problems with short-term memory loss, such as forgetting where you left your keys, are often related to a problem with working memory. Cogmed Working Memory Training® exercises the working memory to strengthen it, and this, in turn, helps improve your overall memory.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is your body’s primary source of energy, and near-infrared light therapy is known to increase ATP biosynthesis. This can increase the quantity of neurotransmitters (like serotonin and dopamine), decrease inflammation, and make neurogenesis (new neuron creation) and neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to change) possible.
Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning (CVAC) is a whole-body adaptive conditioning program. It makes dynamic changes in pressure that make your body respond as it would to moderate or high-intensity exercise.
However, it also signals your nervous system to go into recovery mode and your parasympathetic system to go into “rest and digest” mode. This stimulates lymphatic flow and cerebrospinal fluid movement and sends blood to your liver instead of your legs and arms.
All treatment methods used at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic are evidence-based and rigorously studied. Patients with a variety of memory problems have benefited from these memory loss therapies.
Every patient at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic undergoes an assessment of their unique needs and level of functioning before our team prepares a customized treatment plan. We use multiple, specialized tests that provide insight into your symptoms. We then write out clearly the results and next steps for you in your assessment report.
We understand that having an accurate and meaningful assessment can be reassuring and help you better understand how to proceed with treatment.
It will depend on the type of insurance and treatment you choose. Most insurance covers basic care, such as medication or doctor appointments, and it can cover occupational therapies. It’s best to check with your insurance company.
Each patient’s healing journey is different. Results can vary depending on the type of memory loss. Some of our treatments can offer quick results, while others will take time to show results.
Neuropsychological assessments are an invaluable diagnostic tool for psychiatric, developmental, and neurocognitive conditions like ADHD, depression, autism, and dementia.
