Our next tour in our search for non-invasive health innovations is the science of BIOFEEDBACK—and we start our review with the internationally recognized pioneers from ONDAMED. Uniquely integrated with the features of PEMF/Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapeutics, this device offers localized tissue stimulation by induction of microcirculation within tissue. While the ONDAMED is approved by health authorities outside of the U.S. for pain relief, soft tissue injuries, and wound healing, the U.S. FDA regulates health claims to only include treatment for stress and stress related disorders.
An historically recognized electronic device earned its mark in progressive wellness, muscle relaxation and the alleviation of functional medical disorders (Jacobson/Harvard, 1938)- and evolved into the core of self-regulating therapeutics. In the early 1920's, a community of researchers founded the biometric readings as part of the early works of EEG, visceral learning & electromyography as the major functions of the biofeedback paradigm. EEG studies the basic principle that brain processes can be brought under voluntary control. Pursuit of the meditative, alpha dominant states continues to be part of today's EEG neurofeedback movement- supporting applications of brain wave control and the therapeutic signal of the device.[1]
- ELECTROMYOGRAPH (EMG): measures muscle fibers & neuromuscular studies. Neurofeedback may sometimes be used as a non-invasive treatment for ADHD, pain, addiction, anxiety, depression, and other disorders. [2]
- THERMAL FEEDBACK: reads migraine headaches & Raynaud's disease
- GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE METER (GSR): measures electrical changes in the skin (sympathetic nervous arousal) supportive of psychotherapy & behavior therapy to track anxiety and cognitive/emotional threat response
The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback defines biofeedback as a process that allows people to alter their physiological activity in order to improve health or performance. Utilizing precise measurement instruments, information about the body's functions are provided to the user. [2]
HOW DOES IT WORK: The biofeedback sensors "learn" about your specific physical signs and symptoms of stress and anxiety (ie. increased heart rate, body temperature, and muscle tension) through electrical sensors that are connected to specific areas of your body. During your session, your therapist will guide you through different mental exercises that may involve visualization, meditation, breathing, or relaxation techniques. The ONDAMED Biofeedback System combines stimulation of gentle focused pulsed electromagnetic fields with Biofeedback. The feedback from the patient is done by monitoring the pulse rate and SpO2 displayed on the device. In addition, the practitioner palpates the patient’s radial pulse (aka vascular signal). This method allows personalizing stimulation of frequencies and sound along with placing applicators on most reactive stressed areas on the body for the patient’s fastest and lasting recovery.
"The ONDAMED device is an intelligent approach to providing stimulation with your body’s own communication language, which is electromagnetic. The brilliance of the ONDAMED method is the personalization of targeted localized frequency stimulation raising awareness to the patient to overcome stress and stress-related disorders."

"The ONDAMED device is an intelligent approach to providing stimulation with the body’s own communication language, which is electromagnetic. It’s not just going by symptoms or pathology or by what one knows about one frequency, but rather it is about combining a physical stimulation with biofeedback to personalize healthcare. Connecting with the patient by palpating the patient’s radial pulse while she/he receives ONDAMED’s therapeutic stimulation will give us the information as to what frequencies and where on the body these frequencies are needed most. It is overriding what we know or don’t know about the patient’s life health story. This method is comparable to a lie detector; we are accessing the individual’s innate wisdom by tapping into their communication pathways, and perhaps into part of their subconscious. Within minutes, the applicators can be placed on select areas for treatment. With biofeedback, we make the patient aware of what it is that they respond to—and where it is on the body that they need treatment. The patient’s autonomic nervous system is teaching the patient about their state of mind, their emotions, and biological consequences; this is all occurring while therapy is already running." - Dr. Silvia Binder |
