A thorough evaluation to identify muscles that may
be holding tension and contributing to pain as well as a brief assessment of
posture, mobility and strength.
Biofeedback includes applying surface electrodes
to the skin to detect muscle tension and displaying this on a computer screen
so you can see what your muscles are doing.
Treatment will include teaching you how to be
aware of our tensing habits, exercises to interrupt these tension patterns,
working with improving your posture and work habits, and instructing you how
to incorporate changes in your daily life.
Treatment also includes relaxation
techniques.
What results can you expect from your
biofeedback treatment?
Our goal is to help clients self-manage their
condition. Most biofeedback patients are seen 1 time per week for an average of
4-6 visits.
Does Insurance Pay for
Biofeedback?
Physicians who prescribe biofeedback for
their patients recognize the benefits and seek out those services. Most
insurance plans recognize the benefits of biofeedback training and pay for
those services. However some insurance plans do not include biofeedback as
a covered service. You should contact your insurance company to
verify that biofeedback, for your specific problem, is a covered
benefit.
