This modern method of pain management owes its roots to the Chinese.
Traditional Chinese healers believe in the involvement of the Chi or the flow of energy in the body, in any malfunctions which causes it to feel sick.
Whenever the flow of energy is disrupted, a person tends to feel stressed and experience painful sensations anywhere in the body.
Medically speaking, this concept of the Chinese is indirectly pointed to the mechanisms involved within the human nervous system.
When there is positive energy flowing in the body, the nervous system stays healthy.
Using a Biofeedback device will help the body to repair and provide an optimal communication of the nervous system with the body.
Although shoulder pain and fibromyalgia can't be directly connected to the nervous system, the Chinese believes that there is somewhat a connection between the internal body systems.
With this thought, they developed a form of healing method which involves mind manipulation to control any pain felt by the body.
This is the school of thought where meditation, hypnotism and Biofeedback came from.
Modern researchers have seen some plausible truth with these traditional means of healing.
It was observed that by manipulating some areas of the body, pain can be controlled as long as there is enough pressure to stimulate the nervous system in order to make the body feel better.
This idea started the development of biofeedback technology.
Different devices were created that are intended to make a person feel better once use on the body.
Some of these devices use electrical impulses that penetrate deep into the muscles and the nerves which stimulate healing.
It is remarkable how the body responds to this kind of stimulus.
Along the process, the body produces neurotransmitters and neuropeptides that can trigger both chemical and electrical processes inside the body which in turn produces a rapid reduction of the pain.
The noteworthy feature of biofeedback devices is that they are meant to be controlled by the person.
Each person has different perceptions towards pain and the reactions from any treatment also differ.
Pain management using biofeedback devices relies on a person's perception to control and manage the treatment that he receives.
The therapeutic quality of biofeedback devices results from a person's response.
These devices will self-regulate the body own resources for healing.
Devices will adapt personally to each individual making these instruments an excellent way of solving real pain issues in a quick manner with long-term results.
