Hypnosis for Pain Management

In the words of Ron Eslinger, world-renowned hypnotist and pain specialist, "Pain is soul stealing." It prevents people from enjoying their lives and, worst of all, it doesn't need to be this way. The National Institutes of Health Panel on Pain has acknowledged that hypnosis is effective in alleviating chronic pain associated with various cancers. There is also a substantial and growing body of evidence that hypnosis can assist greatly in the management of chronic pain, such as that associated with irritable bowl syndrome, fibromyalgia, tic douloureux (trigeminal neuralgia), arthritis, and tension headaches.

In 2000, the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) recognized hypnosis as a complementary pain management therapy which would also help maintain the dignity and the well being of the client, without dependence on large quantities of medication.

Hypnosis is evidence-based. Hypnosis works!

"I was amazed to see that not only was Mr. Patterson able to reduce my client's discomfort through hypnosis, he was actually able to completely anesthetize my client so that he didn't feel any irritation during the procedure."
