We Can Help With ... Pain Control

<< Return to We Can Help With ... >>

Pain can be debilitating, sapping the life and energy fom you. Sometimes, even just the fear of pain can be enough to trigger the pain itself or cause anxiety and panic attacks. It can prevent you living a normal life or looking after yourself properly. A fear of going to the dentist can lead to poor dental health, for example, meaning the inevitable trip to the dentist gets put off, making the condition worse.

Hypnotherapy can be used to help pain control in three ways;

  • Managing and controlling the pain caused by existing conditions, e.g. back pain or a sporting injury
  • Speeding up the healing process
  • Assisting in the prevention of pain for people who are allergic to anaesthetics or other medication, or where the fear of pain restricts life.

Before considering hypnotherapy treatments for any medical issue, you should first consult your GP.

A key element of feeling pain is the mind's reaction to it. Hypnotherapy can't remove the injury or an actual cause of physical pain, but it can affect how the mind perceives it, by reducing the feeling of pain associated with it. Placebos work in the same way. The patient sincerely believes they are being treated for the condition with a drug, so the subconscious mind takes over and does some of the work of the medicine, even though none has actually been taken.

Hypnotherapy for pain control works by giving you the tools needed to reduce the sensation of pain in the mind, using a powerful combination of Hypnotherapy, NLP & EFT.
