Which is more effective, Hypnosis or Dope for pain management?



Neither one can make you totally painfree. The dope, if taken to become painfree will turn you into an addict living in "LaLa Land" where hypnosis is not addictive. I would rather not get answers from professional hypnosis people but from other chronic pain patients that have experience with both.

There are many different management techniques for chronic pain. Even if you are talking just about drugs, there are many choices, not all of which are POTENTIALLY addictive.

Ask your doctor for a referral to a pain clinic. These are multi-disciplinary clinics that deal with patients who have chronic pain from all causes.

Further, when talking about pain management, WE are always talking about management and not relief. That means that WE are talking about getting to the point that we can function reasonably well, on a routine basis. It does not mean being pain free. And the sooner that each of us gets used to that idea, the better off each of us is.

I have multiple types of arthritis, and as a result I am a chronic pain patient. Source(s): http://www.aapainmanage.org/

You could try the Bowen technique
I don't have any facts, but if I had to vote I'd say dope...
what kind of pain? my best gf had been in a severe auto accident injured back and operated on permanently on dope but if she went to a very good chiropractor she couldve avoided it for further pain as the operation caused it. I would not hypnotize pain as this is a human emotion sensor to avoid further damage. take something natural then for pain .. but see a neurologist.. i tore ligaments 3 x on knees from skiing and worked with cracked ribs all last winter . you can take skull cap and valerian root to ease into sleep well thru the night.. use the tubs spa you can buy for your tub daily.. what kind pain is it.. hynotics wont do it as your body needs to know dangers of nerve damage thru pain so it wont get worse or haev a vertabrea sliced in the spinal chord u cant go thru that hypnosis.. you need another dr perhaps a sports dr surgeon..
did you try therapy? what about cortisone shot for the pain...that really works good and you are not in la la land.
I have 2 herniated discs in my lower back, due to a car accident. My docs tried doping me up, but nothing worked. I never tried hypnosis, but what did help was passive chiropractic treatment, some massage and pilates. Water aerobics also helped a friend of mine. After about 6 months I was able to go back to a full time job and although I have flare ups every now and then, it's nothing that a few ibuprofen and a hot shower can't fix. Good luck with whatever you decide though
