Biofeedback Schools and Careers Guide

Biofeedback

What is biofeedback?

Biofeedback helps patients improve their health by understanding signals from their own bodies and working consciously to affect change.

Generally, biofeedback is used in a clinical setting by licensed health professionals. Because it provides an alternative to drugs for the treatment of stress-induced pain, such as migraines or muscle spasms, it works well in a natural medicine setting.

How is biofeedback practiced?
Clinicians are trained to use the biofeedback machines to gauge a person's internal bodily functions to help the patient tune into the activity inside their bodies. Patients then learn to identify the circumstances that trigger their symptoms and are taught some form of relaxation exercise to relieve the symptoms.

What biofeedback degrees or certificates are available?
Certification for healthcare professionals is available. To qualify for training, trainees must have a bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally-accredited academic institution in a healthcare field. Qualifying programs include: physical therapy, Western, allopathic medicine, exercise physiology, dentistry, nursing, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, counseling, rehabilitation, chiropractic, dental hygiene, and more.
