Helping
back, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica and migraine headaches using
Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
All
of us have suffered from pain at one time or another, either from
illness or injury but thankfully this is usually short-lived and is
relieved once we have received the appropriate treatment and healed
ourselves. However, there are increasing numbers of people suffering
from chronic/persistent pain or repeated bouts of acute pain, most
commonly in the lower back, neck, shoulders or buttock area and sometimes
the pain is accompanied by sciatica or similar problems in the arms.
Then there are those with persistent joint pains and there are also
many people suffering the pain of occasional or frequent migraines
or tension headaches. You have probably suffered a physical injury at some point in the past and your pain tends to recur in roughly the same area. I expect like most people in this situation you have been told by doctors and other specialists that one or other of your nerves is being pressed, trapped, squashed or otherwise impinged upon by some other structure close to it, the most common reason given is a "slipped" or herniated disc, which makes some sense on the face of it. However,
"....neurological pathophysiology [which basically means how
nerves behave physically] tells us that continued compression of a
nerve, any nerve, will cause it to STOP transmitting pain messages
to the brain after a short time and the result of this is objective
numbness (which means absence of pain on testing)...."*. So,
if this is the case - that any pinched, compressed or otherwise trapped
nerve becomes numb after a short time - what is actually causing your
pain? John E Sarno M.D. a professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine has, with his team of associates, treated thousands of people suffering from chronic or recurring acute pain problems over the past 35 years with amazing results. Dr Sarno has called the pain disorder which they were suffering from Tension Myositis Syndrome or TMS for short. TMS is a very painful yet harmless change to either your muscles, nerves, tendons or ligaments. The muscles involved are specifically the postural muscles in the back of the neck, the entire back and the buttocks but nerves, tendons and ligaments anywhere in the body can also be affected, usually in the limbs and often in the joint areas. If you are suffering from these types of chronic or recurring pain problems, you might be suffering from TMS and, as this book has helped thousands of people to overcome their pain problems, I recommend that you purchase Dr Sarno's book "Healing Back Pain" (usually available through Amazon or E-Bay), which describes not only all types of back pain but other pain problems, including head pain and joint pains, and it fully explains TMS and suggests techniques and solutions to help you to overcome your aches and pains. You may well be thinking at this point "what has all of this got to do with hypnosis and hypnotherapy?" Well, one thing we know for sure is that any stress, tension, anxiety or worry makes any pain feel much worse. In particular, migraines and tension headaches (as the name suggests!) are widely believed to be caused by inner tension or anxiety and stress. If this stress and anxiety and tension has been gradually accumulating over a long period, as it does for most people, then this makes everything worse. This is where I can help you with hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Hypnosis and hypnotherapy, specifically 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis, are very effective at significantly reducing accumulated stress, anxiety and inner tension levels (in fact, in the majority of cases, 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis results in a permanent reduction in stress and anxiety levels) which has a knock-on effect of significantly reducing all types of pain problems. Hypnosis can also be used with visualisation and individually tailored Suggestion Therapy to effectively manage pain as an interim measure if you are unsuitable, for whatever reason, to undergo a course of 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis. The best way forward for you will be discussed and agreed upon during a free initial consultation.
As I am not a medical doctor I am unable to actually diagnose TMS. Also, this page is for information purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat pain in any way and is not intended to be a substitute for proper medical advice. It is essential therefore that ALL pain syndromes are properly medically investigated to rule out the, albeit rare, possibility that the pain is being caused by a serious underlying disorder such as a tumour, bone disease or other condition. For this reason, everyone who consults me where their primary concern is that of a pain syndrome must have a referral from their doctor. Regain Your Life Call
