Biofeedback blends mind-body with high tech to allow patients to control
specific body responses normally thought of as automatic. Non-invasive
sensors are used to detect body activity such as blood pressure, heart
rate, body temperature, sweat production, muscle tension, and brain
activity in real time. Sophisticated computers convert our body responses
into fun, on-screen games used to train these responses for better health.
It has been shown to be effective for many conditions including pain,
hypertension, asthma, hot flashes, nausea, IBS, incontinence, headaches,
and stress.
