Every day we use many different kinds of biofeedback. We use thermometers to indicate fevers and then decide what to do to lower a fever. Diabetics check their blood sugar to keep their insulin at healthier levels. These are just a few forms of biofeedback that we all recognize.

More than four decades of both clinical and scientific research indicate that Biofeedback Training makes significant, positive changes in many disorders. Symptoms of stress, pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, ADHD, Tourette’s Syndrome, alcoholism and/or Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, to name a few, all respond favorably to the training. 
Biofeedback Therapy in Your Daily Life
While therapists are essential for training you in biofeedback methods, this natural approach encourages people to supplement their professional treatment with at-home resources. Many Smarter Way patients find that they reduce their symptoms even more quickly when they also use pre-recorded relaxation guides. These are CDs that help you relax anywhere you can comfortably take 20 minutes for yourself.

"As they [the patients] use biofeedback...their doctors often
decrease their medications by 33% to 100%."
It’s useful to know some basic things about Biofeedback Training:
  • Biofeedback is non-invasive and doesn’t hurt. External sensors gently stick to your skin to monitor what’s going on inside your body. This valuable information allows both you and your Biofeedback therapist to gauge and direct your progress. 
As part of your initial evaluation, Smarter Way therapists use biofeedback measurements to evaluate your current functioning. This helps determine the most appropriate mode of Biofeedback Therapy for you. It may be EMG, Finger Temperature, and/or Neurofeedback Training; and it may start with one and finish with another.

What is Biofeedback Training?
Biofeedback Training, also called Biofeedback Therapy, which includes Neurofeedback Therapy, uses lights and sounds to let you know when your mind-body processes are speeding up or slowing down. A Biofeedback therapist teaches you how to use this information to guide yourself to improving your health and performance.
The feedback tells you exactly when the changes happen and your therapist helps you understand what they mean. So, you learn how to direct these changes much faster. Like anything new, the more you do it, the more automatic it becomes.

  • You get useful data instantaneously while your mind and body respond to internal and external stimuli. This immediate feedback allows you to change your inner activity so it works in ways that are more healthful and comfortable for you.

  • Much like a coach, a Licensed and Certified Biofeedback therapist guides you to gently alter your mind-body activities in healthier, more efficient ways. This efficiency takes less energy, you feel more contented in general.
The biofeedback instruments Smarter Way therapists most often use are:
  • EMG (Electromyogram) Biofeedback to reduce painful muscle activity
  • Finger Temperature Biofeedback to reduce the stress response  
  • Neurofeedback (also called EEG Biofeedback or Brainwave Biofeedback) to monitor brainwave activity in order to reduce excessive symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anger, Tourette’s Syndrome, trichotillomania, and others

The Role of the Biofeedback Therapist
All aspects of your mind and body are interrelated. So, when you affect one, you affect the other, directly or indirectly. How do you put it all together? Just like you do in other areas in your life: you get a coach. In Biofeedback Training, your coach is called a Biofeedback therapist. 

Your Biofeedback therapist knows the various ways in which your mind can affect your body to create stress and pain in your life. Smarter Way therapists use a special approach that integrates your personality into the equation as well. Your therapist treats you as an individual rather than just a system of organs and nerves. This is a science as well as an art form for finding a special remedy patterned to each individual’s needs.
