Pain Management Dartford Kent

Pain Management Programmes

Pain is a universal experience, common to all. We have more words to describe pain than any other sensation. There is a great deal of difference between how individuals feel and cope with pain, many women have a higher pain thresholds than men, athletes and manual workers tend to cope with pain better than office workers.

I see my role to show you how to react positively to your pain and take control of it - quickly, thereby leading a much better way of life.

Instead of using pain as an excuse to withdraw from life and become inactive find out about your pain. The first step to controlling pain is to know your enemy. My experiences show that those people that take control and responsibility for their pain management recover far faster than those in ignorance and in a downward spiral of disability and despair.

We are all more tolerant of productive pain such as a major life saving operation than pain caused by our stupidity or an accident. We will all endure greater pain levels if in a competition and pride is at stake. Often we will have a constant dull ache or nagging pain which will ’disappear’ when our mind gets taken off it by something we enjoy, but returns when we have nothing to do.

So why not harness these innate abilities to cope with our pain? This is where I come in and show you how to do this.

What is pain?
It is an alarm message of damage, distress or danger which originates in tiny nerves called nocicepters. These are uncovered nerve endings found in most body tissues, with more in areas of greater sensitivity.

How do I treat pain?
Totally naturally, I do not use drugs to suppress pain I help you to control your pain using the power of your mind. So what therapies and techniques do I use - some of the following may seem strange but they all work to a greater or lesser extent depending on the person.

Noesitherapy and Hyp-noesitherapy
I am one of very few UK practitioners trained in the use original form of this therapy. It has been the subject of a BBC 2 Horizon documentary and several other TV programmes. Patients are seen undergoing major surgery without conventional anaesthetic, they are totally awake and feel no pain. There was little bleeding, they recovered quickly and many walked out of the operating theatre.

The therapy is based on the Vagal Response - the exact opposite of the ‘Fight or Flight’ response. In the Vagal State the body can control its pain easily as it blocks the signals from the nociceptors, giving dramatic pain relief.

Noicitherapy is excellent for treating both acute and chronic pain, including those due to life threatening diseases. It should work for everyone but if you are not able to grasp, or do not want to use the technique then there are the following therapies that can be used. Most people take 3-4 sessions to fully master the technique.

There are even fewer practitioners who combine Hypnotherapy and Noicitherapy to form a more potent form of pain control Hyp-noesitherapy. This is sometimes mastered in one power session but sometimes the some people need a 'booster session'. Hypnoesitherapy is the most powerful pain relief treatment I have and if mastered makes all of the other methods redundant.

What pain can be helped?
As well as the pains mentioned above the techniques I use may be very good for some forms of the following;- fibromyalgia, MS, migraine, headaches, rheumatism, arthritis, joints, digestion, menstruation and breast tenderness, carpel tunnel syndrome, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, labour pains and so many others.

These methods are a 'quick fix', however they can be life-long 'quick-fixes'. Please do not expect one visit and you are ‘cured of all pain’ the average person needs 3 sessions to really get to grips with contoling their pain.

What happens at a consultation?
I take full notes on your condition and we work out the best route of treatment for you depending on the type and severity of your pain, and other factors. I will require a detailed medical history of your problem, including any past or present conventional medical treatments. Please note that I may require permission from your doctor to work with you.

An individual programme will be worked out for you with your full input and approval. Most people will require around 3-4 sessions some do take less but others may take more.

Sessions are 50-60 minutes.

I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THAT YOU STOP TAKING ANY PRESCRIBED MEDICATION, OR DISCONTINUE ATTENDING ANY OUT-PATIENT CLINICS ORGANISED BY YOUR GP OR A SPECIALIST CONSULTANT.
I am here to complement their treatment NOT replace it.
