Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a treatment method that uses monitoring devices to help people consciously regulate physiological processes that are usually controlled automatically, such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, perspiration, and muscle tension.

Biofeedback is a non-invasive treatment.         

Biofeedback involves the therapist attaching sensors to various parts of the body.

The sensors are attached to the equipment, which can provide a variety of feedback signals to the therapist and patient.

The sensors actually measure skin temperature, muscle tension and/or brainwave function. With the use of a visual or sometimes auditory form of biofeedback, the patient can be trained to detect the subtleties of the body signals.

Overtime, new responses can be learned which in turn can be used to control and improve a variety of conditions.

Biofeedback can be used to reduce stress and muscle tension from a variety of causes.

Biofeedback can promote relaxation, correct urinary incontinence, treat migraines, and less serious headaches and is a useful complementary therapy for treating chronic pain and insomnia.
