It’s important when treating pain that you consult your doctor first to ensure that there is no serious cause of the pain but if it's post-operative or post-injury relief, arthritis, migraine, cramp, phantom limb pain or a pain that tests can find no cause of, hypnotherapy will definitely help.
Pain, although having roots in a physical sensation of some kind, is very much how the mind deals with the signals it receives. For example, an equivalent pain may seem far worse when a patient doesn't know what the pain is, as opposed to when the patient does know.
Also, there are certain sports where the participants have a much higher threshold of pain than most people. This is due to their mind's reaction to the pain.
