Today people are demanding the safest treatments possible for disorders and diseases not only for themselves but especially for their children. Biofeedback is cutting edge technology that can dramatically impact your life or the life of your loved one by helping to relieve symptoms of emotional and physical health problems.


More and more parents are looking for alternatives to ADHD drugs and the possible side effects. Biofeedback is an integrative therapy has proven to be successful in treating ADHD. Biofeedback is FDA regulated and is considered to be a very safe and effective procedure that neither has nor reported negative side effects. 


·Recent studies conducted by Vincent J. Monastra, PhD, at the FPI Attention Disorder Clinic in Endicott, N.Y. “concluded that all of those who underwent biofeedback were able to cut their medications by at least half – and still enjoyed the improvements they got from the drugs.


·In addition, the study indicated that 40% were able to discontinue their medications, while the kids who didn’t get biofeedback needed to continue medication to sustain improvement.”


According to Vincent J. Monastra, Ph.D. and colleagues of the FPI Attention Disorders Clinic, after year's worth of counseling and medication relieved some symptoms of ADHD among a group of children, but only children receiving additional biofeedback therapy managed to hold on to these healthy gains after going off the medication, according to a new study.

Half of the 100 children in the study received EEG biofeedback therapy, a treatment in which individuals are taught to retrain electrical activity in their brains. The biofeedback group also experienced significant changes in these "brain wave" patterns associated with attention-deficit disorder, according to Vincent J. Monastra, Ph.D., of the FPI Attention Disorders Clinic and colleagues.
