Biofeedback is a method of self-training and auto-regulation by which a person is taught control of physiologic processes of the body, such as muscle
tone, caliber of small blood vessels, and skin temperature. Biofeedback therapy includes both muscle relaxation and temperature control at The San Francisco Headache Clinic and a complete course in stress reduction
is offered along with the biofeedback therapy. With this modality of treatment, we attempt to reduce both frequency and severity of chronic headache.
Biofeedback therapy is administered in eight one-hour sessions. Appointments are made on a weekly basis and are usually scheduled in the mornings. A
more intensive biofeedback program is possible for out-of-town patients, and daily training sessions can be arranged at The San Francisco Headache Clinic.
