What is Biofeedback Therapy?
Biofeedback therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses real-time monitoring to help patients gain control over specific physiological functions. It is particularly effective in addressing conditions like chronic constipation, fecal incontinence, and pelvic floor dysfunction. By providing feedback on muscle activity, patients learn to make targeted adjustments to improve function and alleviate symptoms.
Conditions Treated with Biofeedback Therapy
Biofeedback therapy is recommended for:
- Chronic constipation resulting from pelvic floor dyssynergia
- Fecal incontinence
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Post-surgical recovery for anorectal disorders
How Biofeedback Therapy Works
- Initial Assessment:
- A thorough evaluation is conducted to identify the underlying issue. This includes a review of symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic tests such as anorectal manometry or imaging studies.
- Real-Time Monitoring:
- During the therapy session, sensors are placed to monitor muscle activity, breathing, and other physiological parameters.
- Patients receive visual or auditory feedback, allowing them to understand and control their body’s responses.
- Training and Adjustment:
- Guided exercises are performed to retrain the pelvic floor muscles, improve coordination, and enhance overall functionality.
- Patients learn relaxation techniques and strategies to manage their symptoms effectively.
