qEEG Evaluation and Neurofeedback
"Neurofeedback should play a major therapeutic role in many difficult areas.
In my opinion, if any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy it would be universally accepted and widely used. It is a field to be taken seriously by all."

qEEG Evaluation
The Shiu Clinic is among the small number of neurological clinics that perform qEEG brain scans In-House using BrainMaster qEEG Evaluation technology for cognitive improvement.
The clinic uses this advanced technology to analyze patient progress in our neurological programs. The qEEG device provides a neurological map, allowing patients to see what parts of their brain have encephalopathies, or conditions that alter brain function or structure. The scan is especially useful for patients who have suffered concussion or traumatic brain injury.
qEEG Evaluations can reveal abnormal brain activity associated with:
qEEG Neurofeedback Training - Helping the Nervous System Regulate Itself
Rarely used in other neurological clinics, the advanced qEEG Brainmaster equipment allows Dr. Shiu to assess the progress of his patient’s health while in his care. The qEEG offers patients an objective imaging of the brain and shows which areas might be affected by inflammation- even in seemingly hidden or unexpected places. As accurate as a functional MRI, the qEEG device is particularly effective for concussion and CNS patients. The BrainMaster provides analysis, neurofeedback, and allows the patient to actively participate in regulating irregular brainwave activity.
The Shiu Clinic remains the only healthcare facility to offer acupuncture during a qEEG neurofeedback session.
In addition to analytics, the BrainMaster provides neurofeedback training that can be used with patients of all ages with a wide variety of concerns. Patients are active participants during this therapy and are able to see how their brain is responding in real time. For many patients seeking this form of training, their brains have become stuck in a rigid pattern of responding. With neurofeedback, we can help the brain to become more flexible and efficient, allowing the patient to be better able to adapt to challenges in the future.
Photobiomodulation Therapy
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) in our state of the art light bed uses specific types of light to trigger body changes on a cellular level. This therapy was discovered in 1967 and its efficacy has since been supported by hundreds of randomized clinical studies for a wide range of conditions.
How does it work?
PBM works by increasing ATP, which is the source of energy for every cell in your body. When cells absorb near-infrared light, their efficiency is optimized, which increases your body’s ability to fight disease, accelerates healing processes, and reduces oxidative stress
Because PBM streamlines overall cellular function and production, this form of light therapy is potentially beneficial for almost any health condition. It has been particularly beneficial for our patients with Covid Long Haulers Syndrome who suffer from chronic fatigue
