Biofeedback training is the use of medical sensors combined with specific coaching to help you control your body's reaction to pain or stress.
Biofeedback training is more than just relaxation training. Patients learn to self regulate pain and stress where each session is tailored to your individual needs. The training is completely noninvasive and usually takes up to 12 sessions depending on your level of pain or length of issue. Through practiced attention training you will be taught to use these skills in your everyday life.
