Bio feedback helped me. It is hard to explain but I will try. It is like a game for your brain. Your brain does what the machine wants and it gets rewarded by a sound or something that it likes to see and hear. The better your brain gets the more rewards. So you are teaching your brain to do whatever you want it to do. Or I should say you are training the brain. If you find someone qualified it could really help you!
Biofeedback is a technique use for patients that need to restore its body's mobility. Usually this procedure is given to patients that experience stroke or paralyze. Biofeedback helps patients to learn how to relax and flex those muscles and cope with the pain as it moves.
Biofeedback is a technique that measures bodily functions and gives you information about them in order to help train you to control them.
InformationBiofeedback is most often based on measurements of:
By watching these measurements, you can learn how to alter these functions by relaxing or by holding pleasant images in your mind.
Electrodes measure your heart rate, blood pressure, or other function. A monitor displays the results for both you and the trained practitioner to see. A tone or other sound may be used to let you know when you've reached a goal or certain state.
While the practitioner describes stressful situations and guides you through relaxation techniques, you can see how your heart rate and blood pressure change in response to being stressed or remaining relaxed.
Biofeedback teaches you how to control and change these bodily functions. By doing so, you feel more relaxed and may be able to help treat such conditions as:

By watching these measurements, you can learn how to alter these functions by relaxing or by holding pleasant images in your mind.
Patches, called electrodes, are placed on different parts of your body. They measure your heart rate, blood pressure, or other function. A monitor displays the results. A tone or other sound may be used to let you know when you've reached a goal or certain state.
Your health care provider will describe a situation and guide you through relaxation techniques. The monitor lets you see how your heart rate and blood pressure change in response to being stressed or remaining relaxed.
Biofeedback teaches you how to control and change these bodily functions. By doing so, you feel more relaxed or more able to cause specific muscle relaxation processes. This may help treat such conditions as:

Tension and stress can also be reduced through biofeedback, in which an individual consciously attempts to modify skin temperature, muscle tension, blood pressure, and heart rate.
Biofeedback utilizes machines that monitor users' stress levels, helping people learn to control them.
In 1961, Neal Miller,an experimental psychologist.led to the creation of biofeedback therapy.Thereafter,research performed in the 1970s by UCLA researcher Dr. Barry Sterman.Since the early work of Miller and Sterman, biofeedback has developed into.
Biofeedback, or applied psychophysiological feedback
biofeedback is another term for feedback inhibition. google that.
The code for biofeedback therapy is 90901. If your provider is using biofeedback therapy for the treatment of urinary incontinence, the code would be 90911
The Biofeedback machine allows the process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological functions. Biofeedback may be used to improve health, performance and physiological changes.
Biofeedback can be used to learn tensing and relaxing specific muscles to relieve pain.
There are no known side effects to properly administered biofeedback or neurofeedback sessions.
There are a number of benefits derived from learning the technique of biofeedback from a registered biofeedback therapist. For instance, one can learn how to improve one's health by moderating one's heartbeat and blood pressure.

The use of biofeedback techniques to treat an array of disorders has been extensively described in the medical literature.
