Biofeedback is a scientifically validated approach that empowers individuals to consciously influence typically involuntary bodily functions. This drug-free technique uses advanced sensors to provide real-time data about your physiology, helping you develop greater control over processes like:
Heart rate and variability
Muscle tension levels
Skin temperature changes
Sweat gland activity
Brain wave patterns (in neurofeedback)
Sensor Placement: Painless electrodes attach to specific body areas
Real-Time Monitoring: Physiological signals display on a computer screen
Visual/Auditory Feedback: Immediate cues reflect your body’s responses
Active Training: You practice techniques to alter these responses
Skill Transfer: Learned strategies apply to daily life challenges

Biofeedback offers unique benefits compared to medication-based approaches. Unlike pharmaceuticals that may cause side effects, biofeedback has no adverse reactions. While medications provide temporary relief, biofeedback teaches lasting skills. Patients transition from passive recipients to active participants in their healing process.

Prevention strategies
How soon will I notice changes?
Most people observe improvements within 4-6 sessions, with optimal results typically after 10-12 sessions.
Does insurance cover biofeedback?
Many plans provide coverage for specific conditions like migraines or incontinence (using CPT codes 90901/90911).
Is it suitable for children?
Absolutely. Neurofeedback helps with ADHD, and traditional biofeedback effectively addresses childhood anxiety.
Do the benefits last?
Like learning to ride a bicycle, the skills remain but may require occasional refresher sessions.
