How Can Alternative Medicine Help Pain?

Alternative Treatments for Pain Management

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a pain management technique that teaches the patient to consciously affect normally involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate, muscle tension, and blood pressure. The idea is that by becoming aware of these functions, and specifically how they correlate to pain, you can adjust them in accordance with pain symptoms. Research is inconclusive as to why biofeedback helps decrease pain, but one theory is that it simply helps the patient relax, which in turn reduces physical symptoms that can be worsened by stress. Electromyography, or EMG, measures muscle tension and is the type of biofeedback that has been shown to be most helpful in pain management
