Hypnosis for Chronic Pain
As a Nurse Anesthetist, I was naturally lead to the field of hypnosis as a way to deal with pain. I used self hypnosis to deal with back pain and neck pain and stay away from surgery and drugs.
Researchers from the University of Iowa are studying whether hypnosis can relieve chronic pain. They believe the technique is effective in between 65 percent and 70 percent of patients. Research suggests hypnosis may work by changing the way the brain receives impulses.
Did you know that 10 million Americans have back pain, 8 million have fibromyalgia, and 40 million have chronic headaches. There are about 50 million Americans who suffer from chronic pain.Interestingly, only about half of these patients benefit from standard treatment.
