| Lower Back Pain Relief with Hypnosis? |
Question:
So far I have used self-hypnosis to control lower an upper back pain for
the last 2 1/2 years. I ask my unconsious to contract muscles in such a
way as to relieve any spinal subluxations. I've let my unconscious mind
become my chiropractor. I use this trance utilization rather than
analgesia which might just mask serious back problems. Any comments on
similar utilizations of hypnosis.
Answer:
I use an associative imaging technique which requires only very light
trance to be effective. (Strict folk please note: used as a complement
to manipulative therapy in chronic pain management cases). It's fast
and almost invariably works well.
i would recomend you have the cause of the problem (hypertonia?)
investigated by a qualified osteopath/chiropractic, or perhaps you
have already done this?
In 1982 a lower back injury resulted in a fractured disk, which eventually
deteriorated. Although the doctors told me that I would have chronic back pain
for life, self-hypnosis has kept me pain-free about 90% of the time. However,
if I attempt to lift anything heavy, my back makes me pay the price.
My autosuggestion was primarily to eliminate all unwanted pain while allowing
enough pain to warn me if and when I tried to overwork my back. Thus far,
after 15-years of tolerable back comfort with only occasional pain, "the proof
is in the pudding."
