Biofeedback
Biofeedback is when a person learns
to recognize his own body signals and responds to them in the most
appropriate manner possible. That is, he reacts to the feedback provided
by his own body. By controlling even involuntary functions, the person
learns to be integrally involved with his body.
Apart from treating
migraine, tension and various other types of headaches, this technique is
also utilized to treat high and low blood pressure, Raynaud's disease,
epilepsy and even paralysis.
Initially, various
machines are used to measure body cues. The patient learns to recognize
these himself eventually leading to the elimination of these machines.
Patients are taught relaxation exercises, how to identify triggers and how
to cope with stressful situations. This technique is basically a tool
which believes that behavior, thoughts and feelings - all need to be
harnessed in order to achieve the best state of being.
The patients
have to become more in control of their bodies and recognize the signals
that it gives them. This treatment is basically aimed at changing the way
a person reacts to their own body and its stress.
