own bodies to regain movement in paralyzed muscle. Patients who are tense and
over anxious are taught to use their body signals to learn relaxation. Chronic

Psychologist use machines to get
biofeedback on their patient’s body functions and it is more accurate than a
person can. Using these machines, the therapist can detect what treatment is
needed to relax the patient. The therapist can see how the progress is going
once treatment has started.
These machines give feedback to the
therapist and patient by a beeping noise or flashing light some even have
electrical signals. The purpose of the signals is to alert the therapist or
patient that maybe their muscles are tight and they need to find a way to relax
them in order for the noise to let up or the light to go out.
The therapist acts like a coach standing
nearby giving suggestions on how they can get the noise to slow down. A goal is
set for the patient to where they are headed in learning how to stop the noise
or the light from going off. The patient will learn to relax to prevent the
muscle from getting tenser.
Biofeedback is used to train people to
alter their brain activities, blood pressure, and heart rate and body functions
that are not working as normal. This is not a cure but a learning process to
control the condition.

the biofeedback to help treat their patients. Dentist, nurses, and physical
therapists are using it as well to determine the condition of their patients.

diseases with medication if needed.

stress, change their habits, and learning to manage their self-control.
Biofeedback is a tool for the doctors and patients to have a more normal life
and teaching them to work together to make the given treatment more effective.

maintain their health and make changes at home in order to make the treatment
more effective as well. Patients may need to keep a log of daily activities.

avoid the problem.

be practiced everyday as well to help give them better health.
Relaxation is the key to better health and
people who choose to use biofeedback as part of their treatment will be taught
to relax first. Stress is usually the main cause for headaches and chronic pain
because stress will affect the nervous system.

prepare for emergencies and to fight back. When the nervous system is not
working properly, it doesn't fight causing you to be in pain.

doctor can help you make the decision making it easier to decide if this is the
right way to go. Asking questions and getting feedback from your doctor is
working together in order to help you become a happier person in everyday
living.
