Today, even the most traditional physicians and healthcare professionals recognize the relationship between stress, pain, and emotional well-being. Pain resulting from either disease or injury can be associated with depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or tension and migraine headaches.

Unregulated stress can severely impair immune function, disrupt emotional wellness and induce a range of debilitating conditions, such as:

• Insomnia
• Excessive anger
• Obsessions
• Abusive behavior
• Addictive behavior
• Chronic anxiety

Moreover, a combination of stress and pain can be a dangerous frame for physical ailments, such as:

• Tension Headaches
• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
• High blood pressure
• Cardiovascular problems
• Irritable bowel syndrome

Biofeedback is a non-invasive procedure that teaches patients how to alter their bodily systems (e.g., heart rate, brain waves, skin temperature, and muscle tension) as a means of reducing stress and physical pain and enhancing wellness. Simply put, biofeedback acts as a pain/stress barometer. It is usually conducted weekly for 16 sessions.
