Biofeedback
is the use of sophisticated, not invasive instrumentation to
provide information about physiological processes that otherwise
would not be available. It provides a scientific perspective
of the mind-body connection. This is called psycho-physiology.
The following technology is utilized at Berent Associates:
E.M.G. (muscles), Temp Training (peripheral blood flow), G.S.R.
(Galvanic Skin Response), and E.E.G. (brainwave).
Based on the concept of operant conditioning, biofeedback
is often used as an alternative to medication. It can empower
individuals who are on medication to be less dependent on
it. Biofeedback, when combined with stress management counseling
is a powerful technology used for the treatment of stress
related disorders including panic attacks, anxiety symptoms,
migraine and tension headaches, gastrointestinal distress,
pain, hypertension, general tension and more. E.E.G. Biofeedback
is used for the treatment of ADD – ADHD.
