Biofeedback Therapy

Biofeedback therapy is a technique that helps individuals gain control over involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate, muscle tension, and brain waves. It uses electronic sensors to provide real-time feedback on these physiological parameters, allowing individuals to learn how to modify them.

How It Works:

• Sensors are attached to the body to measure physiological parameters.
• The data is displayed on a screen or auditory signal.
• The therapist guides the individual in interpreting the feedback and making conscious changes to their body.
• Over time, the individual learns to control their physiological responses through relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and other strategies.

Benefits:

Biofeedback therapy has been shown to be effective in managing a variety of conditions, including:

• Anxiety and stress
• Chronic pain
• High blood pressure
• Migraines
• Urinary incontinence
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

Procedure:

• An initial consultation with Dr. Smedley is required.
• Dr. Smedley will assess the individual's needs and develop a treatment plan.
• Sessions typically last for 30-60 minutes and involve the use of sensors, a monitor, and Dr. Smedley's guidance.
• The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated.
