Biofeedback is a process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological and psychological functions using instruments that provide feedback from the brain about the specific pathology e.g. anxiety, headaches, insomnia, etc. Many of these, caused by a neuro-autonomic hyperactivity or hypoactivity in the brain. Some of the processes that can be controlled include but are not limited to: brinwaves, skin conductance, heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, and pain perception. The goal of biofeedback is to be able to have total control over one’s brain and body. In 2008, The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), and the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) arrive at a consensus definition of Biofeedback, which is as follows: “Biofeedback is a process that enables an individual to learn how to change physiological activity for the purposes of improving health and performance. Precise instruments measure physiological activity such as brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity, and skin temperature. These instruments rapidly and accurately ‘feed back’ information to the user. The presentation of this information – conjunction with changes in thinking, emotion, and behavior – supports desired physiological changes. Overtime, these changes can endure without continued use of an instrument.” At Integrative Medicine and Biofeedback Clinic we provide personalized information coded biofeedback and neurofeedback to help achieve optimal results. We strive to make our clients feel comfortable and relaxed in the process of getting well, that’s why each of our therapy rooms are equipped with reclining chairs, comfortable lighting, and relaxing murals.
