Chronic diseases and chronic conditions are often not responsive to western medicine. When you think about it, it makes sense. All diseases, conditions and even accidents have some mental, emotional and psychological components. Though they may or may not be appropriate for symptom treatment, drugs and surgery are simply not the best choice for resolving mental, emotional and psychological needs (with rare exceptions).

Now, we're not saying "It's all in your mind." We're saying that whatever portion of your situation is due to mental factors will likely not be solved by drugs or surgery.

As far as relief from symptoms, hypnosis can provide some answers. Hypnosis can help you to gain control over things like pain, swelling, blood flow and rate of healing - and the side-effects are a sense of well-being, calmness and relaxation.

No treatment method can guarantee a complete cure but all-to-often we've seen people get results with hypnosis after multiple surgeries or years of ingesting drugs. Perhaps for many of these good people we can provide relief with other methods. If your physician recommends drugs or surgery, ask if you have time to try something else first.

If you've seen a physician, perhaps you should consider hypnosis as a valuable non-drug, non-surgical treatment to add to your options. It makes sense to try it first, with the supervision of your doctor. Please feel free to call or email.
