“Biofeedback”  

  Biofeedback is a diagnostic and therapy therapeutic technique using instrumentation to give a person immediate and continuous signals of change by providing the status of one's own autonomic nervous system (ANS) function as visual or auditory feedback.

Biofeedback Mind-Body Therapy

  Biofeedback as a mind-body process may use instrumentation to give a person an immediate and continuous signals of change in ones bodily functions of which the person is usually unaware.

Biofeedback is a mind-body therapy that teaches a person how to control their body's vital functions. Sensors placed on the body are used to monitor functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, and muscle or nerve activity. The patient is made aware of this information by sight (visual) signals, sound (auditory) signals, or body-muscle signals. The patient learns to control body functions they want to change by visualizing or imagining changes in the sensor signals.

Biofeedback is commonly used as a complementary therapy for high blood pressure, headache and migraine, chronic pain, stress and asthma. In some cases, relaxation exercises are used along with this treatment.

Biofeedback Modalities

  The practice of biofeedback includes any combination of audio entrainment, audio-visual entrainment, bioenergetics, biofeedback, bioresonance, Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), EDR, EEG, electrostimulation, Electromyographic Biofeedback (EMG), EOG, GSR, HEG, HR, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), kinesthetic entrainment, magnetic pulse stimulation, neurofeedback, neurotherapy, Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG), quantum biofeedback, respiration, temperature, visual entrainment services and more.
Examples of some biofeedback modalities include:

• neurofeedback
• sensory feedback
