Hypnosis for Pain Relief

When we think of pain, we often think of acute pain, such as the pain of a sprained ankle or broken bone. Chronic pain is far more common, however, and affects about 1.5 billion or one out of five people worldwide. Chronic pain can last for months and often develops without a history of injury. It can be tough to manage, and many people suffer for months or years without relief. 

This kind of pain can lead to an increased dependence on pain medications and many physical and emotional problems, including:  

• Anxiety and stress 
• Depression 
• High blood pressure 
• Irritability 
• Increased heart rate 
• Decreased quality of life 
• Lost productivity
• Decreased happiness 
• Increased healthcare costs 

If you are suffering from chronic pain, hypnosis for pain relief in Hong Kong might be the answer. 

Pain and Your Brain 

While pain might seem to start in your body, the brain is where those sensations are processed in a complex series of electro-chemical messages. Your body reacts to heat, pressure or other sensations and sends chemical and electrical impulses to the brain, which translates those messages and reacts with pain. The pain is designed to protect us from injury or disease. Unfortunately, when that pain becomes chronic, it is no longer offering us any valuable warning and instead, becomes a problem on its own. You can become trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of pain, fear, stress and more pain. 

Hypnosis for pain relief can help interrupt the chaotic messages being sent between the brain and the body and relieve the discomfort. It can offer you hope and an alternative to medication and invasive therapies or procedures. 

The Healing Power of Hypnosis

If you are dealing with chronic pain, hypnosis for pain relief in Hong Kong could be a viable option. Hypnosis has been used for pain relief for years, and research shows that it works. During hypnosis, your body achieves a deep state of relaxation, and your brain releases more pain-killing endorphins than usual. This combination of factors can help stop the pain in its tracks, but hypnosis does more than that to fight pain. It can interrupt the body’s fight-or-flight response, giving you more control over your health and well-being.  

What Is Hypnosis?

Many people think of hypnosis as a party trick or something that involves an unwilling participant, so you might be surprised to learn that hypnosis is a normal state of mind that you enter into regularly, such as when you daydream or are absorbed in a good book.
