Hypnosis has been used for pain control for quite some time and has even been approved by the British Medical Assocation and the American Medical Association since the 1950’s. For those with short term needs such as an acute Low Back Pain flare up, or a toothache hypnosis can help with the pain. We’ve had several clients who have had to wait weeks or months to get to a specialist and had great relief with hypnosis to help them manage their discomfort.

Long term chronic conditions may also be helped with hypnosis as well. Conditions that have not improved with other means may be relieved or managed through the use of hypnotherapy. Even cancer patients are finding benefits and pain relief with hypnosis.

Of course, when dealing with pain management we require a referral from your doctor of chiropractic, medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, podiatrist, dentist, endodontist, nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant, or pain management specialist. This is to ensure that they rule out any organic cause of your pain, and to have that addressed appropriately. Hypnosis as pain management may also be used in conjunction with these other forms of health care. We would like to be a team player on your health care provider team.
