Neurofeedback therapy allows you to retrain specific areas of your brain to bring it back to its functional best.
Dr. Michael Aker is the founder of Lucent Neurology. He has spent his professional career studying and observing the function of the central nervous system and how it governs the expression of mental and physical health.
As a neurologically based chiropractor he has utilized and developed techniques which influence the central nervous system to improve the health of thousands of patients. In the 80’s he worked with using peripheral nervous system activation to influence better communication between the brain and the body. In the 90’s he earned diplomate status in acupuncture so that he might better understand the movement and function of electrical energy in the body. As his studies continued he worked with autistic children in mid career to improve cognitive function and social responsiveness.
In 2007 he was involved in a serious accident which confined him to a hospital for a month and then to a long recovery period. He was able to use this period to observe his brain and bodily injuries and develop a comprehensive plan of rehabilitation. This work resulted in a greater empathy for his patients and a more solid conviction of the capacity for change in the human brain and body.
Through all of this he gained understanding and appreciation of the role of the brain and central nervous system in human health and successful adaptation to a changing environment. His current neurology focus is on the imaging of connections in the living brain to identify the driving factors behind the neurobiology of cognition and health.
He has earned Diplomate status in Functional Neurology with the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. A chiropractic neurologist is a Doctor of Chiropractic that has undertaken post-doctoral coursework in functional neurology and passed the rigorous written and performance exams required for certification by the ACNB. He continues to develop his specific focus on repairing dysfunction in the communication systems of the human brain. The intent of Lucent Neurology is to advance this focus.

"Our sons journey with debilitating anxiety was on and off throughout his childhood. It wasn't until COVID hit and we were sheltered at home that the anxiety found a new strength that was far beyond his control. Getting him out the door and in the car was hard enough; it was a whole other level of fear when asked to sit in an office with strangers and to try something new. It was Dr. Aker's openness and ability to empathize that supported our son's ability to drop his guard to begin his healing. Through consistent neurofeedback training and a great deal of compassion by the whole staff, our son gradually made strides. Each month we would look back and acknowledge the growth and successes, making our commitment to the process stronger. Today, our son is attending school daily, participating in extracurricular activities, and finding himself each day, loading his tool bag with successes that strengthen the healthy new neuropathways that were created by this very personalized training program. I feel very fortunate and appreciative that this healing process was available for my son. Thank you, Dr. Aker, and the wonderful staff for caring and supporting our family through this journey."
