Question

How is hypnotherapy used in the management of pain?

Hypnotherapy is based on the theory that the repetitive breathing and mantras will put people in a state of relaxation that will cause them to feel no pain. The breathing and relaxation techniques that are part of hypnotherapy assist in counteracting physiologic responses to pain such as increased blood pressure and increased heart rate. Hypnotherapy can shut off pain receptors in people who have low pain tolerance. Hypnotherapy is used mainly for people with a low tolerance for pain; it does not work well for people with a high pain tolerance.
