HYPNOTHERAPY FOR CHRONIC PAIN
Chronic Pain is a persistent or recurrent pain lasting longer than 3 months. Often starting with an injury, an ongoing cause of pain, and sometimes with no obvious explanation. Common complaints include headaches, back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, and neuropathic pain.
Clinical Hypnotherapy can help alleviate Chronic Pain, by dialling down your body's perception of pain. Several research papers and clinical studies report that hypnotherapy can provide an improvement in Chronic Pain. See the article ‘Hypnosis: Mainstream not Alternative’ by June Callan below.
June Callan is a registered Pain Clinical Nurse Specialist and has used Clinical Hypnotherapy in the acute and chronic pain service at Counties Manukau DHB, so you’re in professional hands.
