biofeedback scam or Real?
What is biofeedback?
Quantum biofeedback is a repackaging of biofeedback (a phenomenon that actually works) to encompass such respected New Age medical concepts as chakras, acupuncture meridians, energy-fields and the EM “smog” from modern living. But it is quantum. It also claims to identify a wide-range of stress and health issues while selling expensive hardware[1] and software. Unlike conventional biofeedback techniques where a subject mentally controls bodily rhythms via audio-visual cues, quantum biofeedback system are often claimed to impart their own healing signals to the body.
How Does Biofeedback Therapy Work?
Researchers aren’t exactly sure how or why biofeedback works. They do know that biofeedback promotes relaxation, which can help relieve a number of conditions that are related to stress.
During a biofeedback session, electrodes are attached to your skin. Finger sensors can also be used. These electrodes/sensors send signals to a monitor, which displays a sound, flash of light, or image that represents your heart and breathing rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, sweating, or muscle activity.
When you’re under stress, these functions change. Your heart rate speeds up, your muscles tighten, your blood pressure rises, you start to sweat, and your breathing quickens. You can see these stress responses as they happen on the monitor, and then get immediate feedback as you try to stop them. Biofeedback sessions are typically done in a therapist’s office, but there are computer programs that connect the biofeedback sensor to your own computer.
A biofeedback therapist helps you practice relaxation exercises, which you fine-tune to control different body functions. For example, you might use a relaxation technique to turn down the brainwaves that activate when you have a headache.
Several different relaxation exercises are used in biofeedback therapy, including:
Deep breathing
Progressive muscle relaxation — alternately tightening and then relaxing different muscle groups
Guided imagery — concentrating on a specific image (such as the color and texture of an orange) to focus your mind and make you feel more relaxed
Mindfulness meditation — focusing your thoughts and letting go of negative emotions
As you slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and ease muscle tension, you’ll get instant feedback on the screen. Eventually, you’ll learn how to control these functions on your own, without the biofeedback equipment.
Different types of biofeedback are used to monitor different body functions:
Electromyogram (EMG). This measures muscle activity and tension. It may be used for back pain, headaches, anxiety disorders, muscle retraining after injury, and incontinence.
Thermal. This measures skin temperature. It may be used for headache and Raynaud’s disease.
Neurofeedback or electroencephalography (EEG). This measures brain waves. It may be used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
biofeedback Rivew:
I am dubious about the biofeedback machine
It’s snake oil ffs. If it had any scientific background, it’ll be used by doctors across the globe.
I assume you’ve used a machine, and now you feel like you’re on top on the world… well, I assume it uses vibrations (sound) to ‘fix’ the organs. All I can imagine it doing is shaking your insides, possibly making blood flow a little more, and then you think ‘wow, I feel amazing’, ‘my insides feel so warm and nice’. By the looks of things, it’s an over glorified back massager. You’ll feel pretty good 1st or 2nd time you use it, there after the effects start dwindling because you’ve already make as much blood flow as it can…
As for the healing effects, it’s doubtful. Toxins don’t just get kicked out of the organs, the body has to slowly get rid of them. Here’s a thought, why not go for a run and eat healthy food? Quite certain that if you get the blood flowing and don’t put in any toxins, it’s gonna do a much better job than this thing.
biofeedback scam or Real?
Answer: biofeedback Just a scam
The “biofeedback” device would indeed seem to not have anything to do with biofeedback as it is known to actual medical science.
It is, instead, yet another “electrodiagnostic” BS-machine.
Since migraines are not amenable to placebo treatment even in very gullible adults, there is zero chance that electrodiagnosis and homeopathy will be of any use when applied to a toddler. Unless, of course, the migraines go away by themselves as the child grows and you mistakenly presume that whatever you tried last must have cured them, or the “homeopathic” remedy turns out to be one of the ones that’s been mysteriously contaminated with a normal drug that does what the homeopathic remedy is meant to do.
