Bio Feedback Therapy
What is Bio-Feedback?
​
Biofeedback (biofeedback therapy) is an alternative medicine approach that teaches you to change the way your body functions. It’s a mind-body therapy that may improve your physical and mental health. Biofeedback we use will scan your full body down to the cellular level. Much of what transpires in the initial report will identify Past, Current or Future conditions your body may have.
​
During a biofeedback session, we use noninvasive monitoring equipment to measure your body’s involuntary functions. This includes things like your heart rate, breathing and muscle tension, the system will scan your whole body. Based on feedback from the scan, your provider suggests how you can create voluntary (conscious) changes for these mostly involuntary functions.
With education and practice, you can learn to make those bodily changes without equipment.
​
Healthcare providers don’t use biofeedback as a standalone treatment for most conditions. But it can help manage symptoms of certain conditions.
​
Providers who perform biofeedback should be certified by the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) to use the therapy. Make sure your provider has certification before starting therapy.
​
What conditions can biofeedback help treat?
Studies show that biofeedback therapy may help manage the following conditions:
-
Anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
-
Chronic pain, including chronic low back pain, chronic pelvic pain and other pain syndromes.
-
and potentially many more.
Healthcare providers don’t use biofeedback therapy as the sole treatment for most of these conditions. They may require other therapies in tandem to promote improvement and wellness. Based on reports we treat according to what the system identifies and suggest alternative therapies to enhance your body's wellness.
