While there may well be a place for pain medication in the overall treatment of chronic pain, it is helpful to have other tools available so that one is not entirely dependent on those medications with their inevitable side effects. One very effective tool for pain management is Clinical Hypnosis. With hypnosis those pain signals can be moderated and the pain can be turned down. Hypnotherapy can also increase emotional and psychological resilience in the face of the daily ongoing challenges of managing a chronic condition.
