Hypnosis and Health: The Fight Against Pain

Hypnosis and Health: The Fight Against Pain: "'The Fight Against Pain' will report on the causes of pain, the impact it has on our lives, work, family and even our mental outlook, as well as new and promising treatments on the horizon. ABC News and USA TODAY will also look at how to better educate and assist those struggling with pain and explore the types of resources available to them.

The series will explore many issues, including:� Effective ways to control pain � The search for the next miracle drug � What is a pain specialist - and why your regular doctor may not be trained to handle pain � Alternatives to surgery and pills - relaxation exercises, deep breathing, distraction techniques and other behavioral treatments � How to treat chronic pain in children � Innovative new treatments for pain

As hypnotherapists, we have a lot to offer patients with chronic pain. Pain is interpreted in the brain which is where our playing field is. "

My Take:

Hypnotherapy is worth a shot. There are dozens of major treatment modalities available for all types of pain, including migraine. You never know what will work for you until you try.

For the record, it did not work for me, but that doesn't mean it won't for YOU, does it?
