Another natural alternative that helps relieve migraine pain is biofeedback. Biofeedback is an “…established non-pharmacologic technique commonly used in the treatment of migraine and tension type headaches” (PubMed). Individuals can use biofeedback as an alternative to pills to treat their migraine pain. Biofeedback is another natural treatment that does not include any chemicals. Biofeedback also reduces the frequency of migraines. Studies have shown that biofeedback prevents patients from consuming pain-relievers daily. Biofeedback as well as other natural alternatives does not only treat migraines. The natural remedy can also help treat other diseases as an alternative to pills. Biofeedback serves to help patients view their body on the inside. A machine is used to show the individual their physical state. For example, the results of the biofeedback can show where there is muscle tension. It helps the person calm the tension because the individual has control of their thoughts. With the results the individual can see what they can change to reduce muscle tension. Biofeedback is used to help an individual detect what can be done to prevent pain.
