I've been diagnosed with urinary incontinence, is biofeedback an effective treatment option?

I've had bladder control problems for some time, but only recently was it diagnosed as urinary incontinence. My doctor suggested biofeedback, however I know nothing about this treatment and whether it is an appropriate option.
