Before starting biofeedback therapy or medical procedure, you must consider certain things. Although biofeedback is a risk-free procedure, first consult a physician. You do this because bodies are different, and the process is not right for everyone. There are people for whom the process other doesnt work for their specific situation. If you feel biofeedback suits you, here are things you must consider.
Cost
In New York, biofeedback costs vary from practitioner to practitioner. The price varies depending on the therapist’s qualification, training, and experience. Also, you have to remember there are biofeedback and wearable devices available in the market for use at home. These gadgets also have different prices; there are the cheaper and the most expensive ones. So it’s vital to keep all these in mind before starting the sessions.
Biofeedback devices
Another thing you need to know is the devices used for this process. There are two types:
• Devices used by the medical and mental health professionals
• Devices available for personal use
Always remember that most of these devices in New York are not evaluated for safety by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA). Consult your therapist about which biofeedback device is right to use.
Clinical biofeedback devices: These are used for clinical purposes, and FDA regulates them. You can find them in therapists’ or general practitioners’ offices.
Personal use biofeedback devices: You can walk to a shop or purchase online one for home use. Most of these devices have sensors that you need to wear to allow them to record information. Others use sensors that give information through an app on your mobile phone. The devices include wearable devices ranging from skin response units, muscle sensors, and brainwave monitors.
Before going for biofeedback therapy, you need to consult a qualified therapist. They will explain to you the cost and devices used during the sessions. Also, they will recommend the right wearable device to buy if you need one.
