Hypnotherapy has been used for centuries in the alleviation of pain and has been used long before anaesthetic was available. A great hypnotherapist called Dr Gibson, has performed over 4000 surgeries without the use of any anaesthetic with a range of many different issues. Some of the best research in support of hypnotherapy has been through pain management because the effects are so visible and instant.
In a study by Faymonville, it was shown when given suggestion for pain relief, certain parts of the brain become dormant. If you are suffering from any injury then we can help. Hypnotherapy can be used alongside medication to help increase the effectiveness and recovery rate.
Hypnotherapy is so effective with pain management; there are books solely dedicated to the subject. We can also teach how to develop this skill with self hypnosis, so you can learn and practice how to routinely help yourself.
A specific plan is tailored to each person by one of our therapists, to help them achieve their goals and to prepare for any issues along the way.

I have been suffering with a very painful bout of sciatica for the past 3 weeks. I cannot lie, when you mentioned about hypnosis I was a little skeptical of whether you would be able to put me under, how wrong was I! Within a count of 10 I drifted into a coherent but fully relaxed state of mind and although you were very clear that the treatment would not cure me, the relaxation methods you provided have very much helped alongside my other treatments.
