Hypnotherapy, is a very good option to treat various psychosomatic disorders. For pain management you need some tangible options. Yes you can help a person to lose weight, smoking, OCD, and social problems. These areas work on the mind, in addition, it helps in healing phobias, schizophrenia, and many mentally related disorders.

For pain management, you can infact use it for a temporary period. Post hypnotic suggestions cannot heal pain and the conditions associated with it. It can even be a dangerous option.

Remember, with hypnosis, you can only stop the sensation of pain and not the pain itself. Take the case of spondylosis, both cervical or lumbar, can you take care of the damaged or herniated discs? If you stop the pain by hypnosis, there may be a chance that the patient will over use and abuse his neck and back more than he is supposed to and this may result in serious problems.

You need to have an open mind towards hypno-therapy and its uses.

I am a hypnotherapist myself.
