How to Get Newsletters on Biofeedback

One newsletter you'll want is one from an organization catering to consumers of biofeedback therapy. Biofeedback is a form of alternative medicine that gives the patient signals of certain vital signs or bodily functions. Patients use this feedback to gain control over involuntary body movements or functions. If you suffer from headaches caused by imbalances in chemicals and blood distribution to the brain, you may be taught to raise the temperature in your hand. That could divert blood flow from the brain to the hand, level the imbalance in the cranial cavity and relieve your symptoms. Biofeedback is used to treat ailments from attention disorders to elimination disorders.

Tips & Warnings

• Many organizations deal with biofeedback therapy from the point of view of both the consumer and the provider. Look for newletters that give both viewpoints.
• The costs for individual treatments are inexpensive to moderate. Most newsletters from the organizations dealing with biofeedback providers and patients are free of charge. You will have to register with them to receive newsletters.
• Don't let any newsletter misdirect you into thinking that biofeedback therapy is a substitute for proper medical care. If you decide to pursue biofeedback therapy, do not exclude visits to your medical doctor, especially if you notice new symptoms or worsening symptoms of previously diagnosed illnesses. Severe symptoms such as chest pains or prolonged vomiting should indicate a trip to the emergency room.
