“Dr. Greg Cantu is a nationally recognized expert in Functional EEG Brain Mapping and Brain Activation EEG Feedback” ~ Dr. David Gersten, MD ~ 

He has personally analyzed over 100,000 individual fEEG Cortex readings over 3 decades, leading to the most recent industry update in 80 years. Functional EEG (fEEG) Brain Mapping and fEEG Activation Feedback offers the first and only Combined-Discipline Brain Mapping Diagnosis with Simultaneous Real-Time Treatment. This new proprietary approach merges Functional EEG Brain Mapping with Functional Neurology for a much more accurate diagnosis and quicker improvements. From over 30 years of clinical experience, we have also observed that our process leads to long-lasting outcomes than the common simple “machine-based only” approach. Our breakthrough fEEG Mapping is what helps patients improve more quickly with longer-lasting improvements when compared to using a “machine-based only” traditional neurofeedback approach. 

A Functional Neurological Examination provides a Hemisphere Balance Diagnosis℠ before our fEEG Brain Mapping diagnosis even begins.

Our Functional Neurological Examination is another key to our success. Traditional neurofeedback methods lack these Fundamental Brain Diagnostics needed to guide the practitioner in both assessment and treatment. These critical guiding Functional Brain Diagnostics can only be obtained from a Functional Neurological Examination.

They also lack one of the most important brain healing treatments available, our unique neurology-based Natural Brain Activation, also referred to as Sensory Afferentation.

Dr. Cantu’s clinically validated one-of-a-kind Combined-Discipline Feedback has many advantages over traditional methods. 1) Our diagnosis of actual brain function is More Accurate, 2) this helps patients to Improve Much Faster, 3) the Improvements are Longer-Lasting, 4) this Reduces the Total Treatment Required, and 5) this will save you both time and money. Dr. Cantu has invented a process that can pinpoint the exact brain areas that are responsible for causing symptoms. He combines both a Neurology Examination and Treatment with a raw EEG Neurofeedback evaluation and treatment. This is a meticulous lobe-by-lobe process that eliminates the need for additional expensive Q-EEG evaluations and even SPECT scans in most cases. We also have the unique ability to customize for your exact brain needs from over 40 brain evaluation and treatment combinations. No other office in San Diego will be offering our Neurology-Based Process until Dr. Cantu begins his practitioner training in 2024.

The key to our successful long-term patient improvements is that we focus and look at Brain Function, not just symptoms. Our proprietary fEEG Activation Feedback is the first, and only Multidiscipline Neurofeedback to date. Including the essential Functional Neurology, component gives us a distinct advantage in helping our patients. We can offer a more precise and accurate way of uncovering and treating the exact root cause of brain symptoms. This integrative approach is a far superior approach when compared to traditional machine-based Neurofeedback which does not include Functional Neurology.

Our initial comprehensive one-of-a-kind fEEG Brain Mapping will determine if someone is a good candidate to continue with treatment based on their results and response to initial treatment. Note: Both part 1 and part 2 of our Comprehensive fEEG Brain Mapping are done on the initial visit with a short break in between.

About Dr. Greg Cantu, D.C. ~ Dr. Cantu is the clinical director of Brain and Body in Encinitas, CA. He founded it in 1994 after his own Head Injury/Concussion and a need for a better diagnosis of the brain’s actual function (our True Brain Diagnosis℠) along with better non-drug treatment options.

Dr. Cantu has been providing natural health care for 4 decades and specializing in the brain for over 3 decades. His expertise is in the functional real-time evaluation and treatment of the brain. Dr. Cantu created Activation fEEG Feedback to be the most comprehensive Multidiscipline Functional Brain Evaluation and Treatment approach with validation of improved brain function in real-time. He has combined the latest technology, including EEG Neurofeedback, Functional Neurology, and Brain Activation to address weak or injured brain areas that rarely get treated. Until Dr. Cantu begins training healthcare providers in his breakthrough Activation fEEG Combined-Discipline Feedback℠, it will only be available at his Encinitas, California practice location.

Ths history of Activation fEEG Feedback ~ Using the knowledge he gained in the process of recovering from a Head Injury/Concussion in 1994, Dr. Cantu began offering very specialized fEEG Brain Mapping and Activation fEEG. options that dramatically improved his ability to help his patients. From his personal experience, Dr. Cantu learned that the source of his many persistent symptoms was the effects of his head injury, which was in fact, a brain injury. Dr. Cantu also observed that the patients with old head injuries (even subtle ones) also had similar symptoms and abnormal brainwave patterns that improved with his treatment. With the evidence that old head injuries, concussions, and even whiplash could injure the brain, he developed a unique assessment and treatment approach that is now a vital part of helping his patients. Physicians and other healthcare providers refer their patients for our unique evaluation. Because of the prevalence of concussions and head injuries in sports, Dr. Cantu also has a passion for educating, evaluating, and treating professional athletes. Dr. Cantu was asked to join a team of healthcare providers to evaluate professional athletes and celebrities with his innovative Activation fEEG Multidiscipline Mapping and fEEG Feedback℠ process.

Through his recovery process, Dr. Cantu gained a patient’s perspective and clinical knowledge of how to help others with brain-related symptoms.  This effective, innovative approach combines the most progressive natural therapies with the latest science and technology. It is designed to restore proper brain function by pinpointing the exact underlying cause of the symptoms. The focus is to uncover and address the root cause of the problem for long-term improvement, not just the typical temporary relief of symptoms. Dr. Cantu is highly skilled at detecting and treating the residual brain abnormalities from old head injuries that cause symptoms, even when the symptoms appear years after the trauma occurred.

Dr. Cantu is committed to multiplying his work by training other health professionals in his unique Activation fEEG Feedback process. He also presents continuing education seminars in his brain evaluation and treatment approach that he developed over the past 3 decades. As part of his own ongoing education, Dr. Cantu is completing a Diplomat in Neurology from the world-renowned Carrick Institute.
