Pain Relief & Pain Management

At North Shore & City Hypnotherapy Sydney, we regularly see clients who are in physical pain, and often have exhausted all medical avenues to understand, manage and relieve symptoms, yet the discomfort continues.

Many clients come as referrals from other clients who have been able to minimize their discomfort and/or medications via our unique Optimal Evolution Hypnotherapy System™ for pain relief.

Some clients come to us as a last resort to learn specific self-hyponosis techniques for pain management but still expect to continue with medical treatments, drugs and pharmaceuticals.

Other clients come to North Shore & City Hypnotherapy Sydney as a ‘last resort’ as they cannot continue medical treatments because of cost, ineffectiveness and/or side effects, and want to learn hypnotic pain control techniques so that they can manage the natural way.

And then there are the clients who come to us because there are no conventional medical treatments that can help in their situation, but they want to be rid of the pain.

Increasing numbers of clients are coming to us after seeking medical advice, but before embarking on medical treatment to experience how we can help in their situation.

Impact of Pain on Everyday Life

Let’s face it, pain is insidious, and has such an incredible domino effect through daily life.

Pain can cause difficulties sleeping, which can add to moodiness, exhaustion, lack of focus and concentration.

This makes the pain more intense, leading to snappiness, changes in appetite, etc., not being able to fulfill obligations, frustration, depression, avoidance and the cycle continues, for example.

Pain, particularly intense pain, can put a dampener on so many daily activities.

So how do we resolve your issue with pain?

Easily and effectively!

Through hypnotherapeutic counselling, we take a comprehensive history and identify any psychological aspects that may impact your experience of pain, as well as all the physical aspects.

Following hypnotherapeutic counselling, we will:

  • Take you deep into hypnosis for pain management, to a place of healing, soothing comfort, where we explore the many individual facets of your situation, resolve anything that needs resolving, and minimize any daily impact;
  • Focus on healing and energizing the mind-body connection, optimizing the functioning of all body systems, so that the body and mind establish healthier ways of being, naturally.
  • Teach you techniques if necessary to enable you to live the life you want;
  • Build/reinforce coping strategies, self-esteem, positivity, and optimism; and
  • Seal the deal with a zen-like calm.

ASK YOURSELF:

  • What does your pain cost you?
  • Does it hold you back from advancing in your career?
  • Can you put a monetary value on that?
  • Do you invest time and energy in avoiding situations, or trying to conceal it?
  • Does it inhibit you in your everyday relationships?
  • Do you neglect yourself, family and/or friends because of it?
  • What is the cost and impact on your:
    – Health?
    – Physical appearance?
    – Sense of self-worth?
    – Wellbeing?
    – Ability to perform at work/home?
    – Relationships?

Does the benefit of investing in several Sessions with us to be free of pain outweigh the ongoing costs of living with it?

Testimonials on Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy for Pain Management

  • “Hi Samantha, After many knee operations (2 reconstructions many years ago and 14 clean ups on both knees) I decided to try alternative treatments. My knees have severe arthritis after many years of sport – in fact I’m told I’m level 4 – the worst you can be with bone on bone and require artificial joints. That said many noted I should not be able to walk and that I must have a high pain threshold. Over time pain was winning the battle and I started thinking about my sore knees. I thought if the doctors are correct that my threshold is so high why can’t it be improved. So I visited Samantha Jones and within a short time she harnessed that mindset and “turned back the pain” to a level I was comfortable with and I think it made as much difference as what surgery would achieve. Ultimately I may succumb to a joint that fails and need it replaced but for the moment Im doing great and would without hesitation recommend Samantha to anyone for pain management and generally feeling good about themselves and life!! I have referred many friends but they seem skeptical… Hell I studied science at university and sometimes you got to accept mind over matter!!”

The effectiveness of hypnosis for pain relief: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 85 controlled experimental trials (2019)

[Abstract]
The current meta-analysis aimed to quantify the effectiveness of hypnosis for reducing pain and identify factors that influence efficacy. Six major databases were systematically searched for trials comparing hypnotic inductions with no-intervention control conditions on pain ratings, threshold and tolerance using experimentally-evoked pain models in healthy participants. Eighty-five eligible studies (primarily crossover trials) were identified, consisting of 3632 participants (hypnosis nö=ö2892, control nö=ö2646). Random effects meta-analysis found analgesic effects of hypnosis for all pain outcomes (gö=ö0.54-0.76, p’s<.001). Efficacy was strongly influenced by hypnotic suggestibility and use of direct analgesic suggestion. Specifically, optimal pain relief was obtained for hypnosis with direct analgesic suggestion administered to high and medium suggestibles, who respectively demonstrated 42% (pö<ö.001) and 29% (pö<ö.001) clinically meaningful reductions in pain. Minimal benefits were found for low suggestibles. These findings suggest that hypnotic intervention can deliver meaningful pain relief for most people and therefore may be an effective and safe alternative to pharmaceutical intervention. High quality clinical data is, however, needed to establish generalisability in chronic pain populations.

Hypnotic approaches for chronic pain management: clinical implications of recent research findings (2014)

[Abstract]
The empirical support for hypnosis for chronic pain management has flourished over the past two decades. Clinical trials show that hypnosis is effective for reducing chronic pain, although outcomes vary between individuals. The findings from these clinical trials also show that hypnotic treatments have a number of positive effects beyond pain control. Neurophysiological studies reveal that hypnotic analgesia has clear effects on brain and spinal-cord functioning that differ as a function of the specific hypnotic suggestions made, providing further evidence for the specific effects of hypnosis. The research results have important implications for how clinicians can help their clients experience maximum benefits from hypnosis and treatments that include hypnotic components.
