Relief from Pain
Research has linked hypnosis to pain relief, and now a recent study suggests how this mind-body approach works to reduce pain. While undergoing MRI scans-one when patients were hypnotized prior to being touched with heat stimulus, and a second scan when the patients was not hypnotized, researchers found that hypnosis was successful in significantly reducing or eliminating pain in all 12 volunteers. Even more impressive was that the MRI scans showed that under hypnosis, activity was reduced in the areas of the brain responsible for pain perception. Research further suggests that hypnosis somehow blocks pain signals in the body from getting to the parts of the brain that perceive pain.

After a full evaluation from your physician for the treatment of chronic pain conditions such as Migraine Headaches, Back Pain, Fibromyalgia, TMJ, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and many others, hypnosis is often recommended for additional treatment of the symptoms that interfere with daily activity. Jolene works closely with several Jaw Pain clinics to help improve your lifestyle and reduce your jaw pain.

The release of endorphin (200 times stronger than morphine) as well as the muscle relaxation achieved during hypnosis can help to alleviate and even eliminate pain from chronic conditions. Jolene is uniquely qualified to help you manage your chronic pain condition not only as a chronic pain patient herself, but recieving her hypnosis training over a 12 year period at LDS Hospital Pain Clinic.
At the completion of hypnosis therapy (usually 6-8 sessions), you will receive audio recordings of each session to help reinforce the relaxation habit-changing messages that were suggested during therapy. You will further receive training during group classes to teach you the process of self-hypnosis so you can continue to manage your condition over time.
