On the down side, biofeedback therapy is often not covered by insurance and treatments can be expensive over time. That was the main reason my friend from choir reluctantly quit his sessions. My friend also found over time that because of his strong family history of high blood pressure and other risk factors, biofeedback was unlikely to continue to be an effective solo treatment for him.

Have you used biofeedback therapy to treat rheumatoid arthritis symptoms like chronic pain or stress, or to treat some other ailment? Did you find it to be helpful? Or perhaps you’ve had trouble either finding a health care practitioner trained in biofeedback techniques or encountered insurance payment difficulties?
