What is Medical Hypnotherapy?

Most Americans are familiar with stage hypnosis that is used for entertainment.  Stage hypnotists dazzle audiences by making volunteers quack like a duck, bark like a dog, and do other embarrassing things one would not normally do in public.  Medical hypnotherapy, however, is used exclusively to help heal the sick.  It is a complement to, not a substitute for  regular medical treatments.  Medical hypnotherapy was approved by the American Medical Association in 1958.  It is practiced at The Mayo Clinic, Stanford University Medical School, The University of Utah Medical School, The University of Chicago, New York University, and other prestigious institutions.  In New Orleans, the Methodist Hospital hired the first full-time hypnotherapist in America as a member of its staff.  The hypnotherapist is also a Methodist minister and holds the rank of General in the U.S. Army.  Medical hypnotherapy can be used as a complement to virtually any medical procedure, including childbirth without anesthesia, eye operations, alleviation of the pain of terminal cancer, etc.

  What is Christian Medical Hypnotherapy?

At the Incurable Pain Center, we practice Christian Medical Hypnotherapy.  We take it literally when Jesus told his disciples that they would work greater miracles than he.  We believe that we have been given talents that we have an obligation to use, and that one of our greatest talents is the power of our subconscious mind.  Through prayerful activation of our subconscious, we feel we are doing God’s will.
