Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain

We live in a society fraught with disease, stress and anxiety and as a result we’ve come to believe that if modern medicine’s pills and potions don’t work then pain is something we have to put up with as an accepted part of life.

If you’re suffering pain I would always advise you to seek first medical advice to check whether there’s an underlying physical cause, and if you haven’t yet seen your GP then you must do so before you’re able to book a treatment with me.

If you’ve seen your GP and there’s no physical cause of the pain you’re suffering, then you’ve come to the right place.

While there might not be a physical or medical reason for the pain you have, there’s always a cause of pain. Drugs like painkillers and anti-inflammatories can ease your suffering, but they may simply mask further degeneration. Other medication can have potentially serious side-effects.

If you look at arthritis, for example, there are medicines that can temporarily reduce the inflammation of the joints and ease your suffering. But in most cases, hypnotherapy can prevent that inflammation and resulting pain much more effectively than tablets and with no negative side-effects.

Pain is a feeling and, like all feelings, it is subject to change. To change requires a little adjustment to the way we perceive pain and this is done under hypnosis in the subconscious mind. Hypnosis has a long-standing record of helping to deal with all manner of conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, migraines, chronic back pain, undiagnosed muscular pain, frozen shoulder and neuropathic pain.
