Positive effects of biofeedback!

Listening to Your Body

Many of us in the health care field have discovered the positive effects of biofeedback. This tool to enhance one’s “body awareness” can help with issues of chemical dependency, ADD/ADHD, chronic pain, migraine and tension headaches, incontinence, anxiety, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma and many other conditions. When it's utilized in combination with chiropractic care, many report excellent results.

Biofeedback is a non-surgical, non-drug approach that teaches you how to use your mind to control your body’s responses to certain involuntary body functions, such as your pulse and muscle tension.

Many of us unknowingly respond to stress by tightening certain muscles. For some, it could be a constant tightening of muscles in our abdomen. Or clenching our jaw. Or the muscles in our buttocks. These often-unconscious reactions can produce exhausting fatigue. Biofeedback can help you become more aware of these tendencies and help you more consciously control your response.

What are the benefits of biofeedback?
  • Reduces the need for medication
  • Assume greater responsibility for your health
  • Improves the quality of your life
  • Can be used with children or adults
  • There are no known side effects

Once you learn biofeedback techniques, you can practice them in moments of stress or when you start noticing increased muscle tension in an area of your body. Biofeedback, like chiropractic care, is about enhanced body awareness. Those with this ability enjoy better health, often have more energy and have a sense of ease that makes them more effective.

Dr. Kelley Asks some important questions of interest to Elkhorn residents - Chiropractor Elkhorn Dr. Kelley Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Elkhorn chiropractic practice.
