Integrating Lifestyle Medicine with Biofeedback for Chronic Conditions - BF Clinical Update Webinar

Chronic diseases constitute the greatest treatment challenges of our times. These illnesses are linked to lifestyle, habit, and health related choices made by adults. Persons with chronic physical and psychiatric illnesses are treated too often in silos by multiple interventionists. The emotional aspects of the illness are not integrated with medical management, or the person is given few choices, resulting in feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Chronic conditions are psychophysiological disorders of the mind, body, and spirit. It follows that mind body treatment plans are needed to manage them. Persons with chronic illnesses are often cared for by family and friends. The caregivers are sometimes under severe stress which affects their physical and emotional states.

Biofeedback offers promise for many chronic conditions. Current research shows therapeutic efficacy for biofeedback with hypertension, diabetes, irritable bowel, headache, depression, anxiety and many other conditions (Khazan et al., 2023). However, unless ongoing lifestyle is also addressed, the benefits of biofeedback intervention will be eroded over time with poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and poor self-care.
