Pain Control is 'Mind Over Mind'

As we've mentioned previously pain is subjective.

The best independant evidence of this is PLP (Phantom Limb Pain). This is the phenomena where people have had limbs amputated and can still feel pain in the amputated limb, i.e. pain in their digits etc. It is not possible for the limb to hurt as it no longer attached to the nervous system, so this is a prime example of 'pain memory' and this existing in the mind and not in the muscles as conventional medicine believes.

Where our therapy works on firstly removing 'pain memory' and then any remaining pain, this can only be described as 'Mind Over Mind' and not 'Mind Over Matter'. This is why the therapy is so effective, it is not something psychic or a form of faith healing, we are over-riding the original signals sent from the nerves.

In many cases this is purely 'pain memory', where the mind is still issuing the 'pain experience' despite the nerves no longer sending any signals to the mind, or where there's a trigger which actiavtes the 'pain memory'. We need to remember that although the brain is powerful, it is highly impressionable. If we send it the correct instructions it will obey.

Often people will reinforce their pain quite innocently. Imagine having an injury that is aggrevated whilst jogging, you're likely to tell the doctor (and your mind) 'my foot hurts when I jog'. The doctor diagnoses the problem, and the mind has a clear instruction for your foot to hurt whilst you jog!
