Research shows that autonomic nervous system dysfunction is central to many chronic pain conditions, such as neck and back pain, fibromyalgia, and migraines. Heart rate variability (HRV) measures this dysfunction, and HRV biofeedback is an effective treatment that improves the body's self-regulation and reduces pain. Chronic pain patients often seek care from various providers, sometimes receiving conflicting advice. HRV biofeedback can unify treatments by chiropractors and mental health professionals, helping regulate the autonomic nervous system and alleviate pain. This webinar will explore how these disciplines integrate HRV biofeedback into the management of chronic pain.
