Biofeedback Therapy

Biofeedback Therapy at The Oxford Center

At The Oxford Center, we offer Biofeedback Therapy as an innovative approach to helping patients gain control over physiological functions. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, or stress-related conditions, Biofeedback Therapy empowers you to manage your body’s responses, enhancing your overall well-being.

What is Biofeedback Therapy?

Biofeedback Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sensors to monitor physiological activities, such as heart rate, muscle tension, skin temperature, and brainwave patterns. This data is displayed in real time, allowing patients to become aware of their bodily functions and learn techniques to regulate them. Biofeedback is particularly effective for treating stress, tension, chronic pain, and anxiety.

How Biofeedback Therapy Works

During Biofeedback Therapy sessions, sensors are placed on the body to measure specific physiological functions. The patient is guided through relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or mindfulness, to influence these bodily processes. Over time, patients can learn to manage their physiological responses without the aid of sensors, improving control over conditions like migraines, tension headaches, and high blood pressure.

Managing the Fight or Flight Response with Biofeedback Therapy

Biofeedback Therapy is particularly effective in helping patients regulate their body’s fight or flight response, which is triggered by stress and anxiety. This response, controlled by the autonomic nervous system, causes physiological changes such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and muscle tension. With Biofeedback, patients can learn to manage these reactions, promoting relaxation and reducing the effects of chronic stress.
