How We Treat Fibromyalgia

The Assessment

We explore your unique pain patterns, stress triggers, and how your nervous system has become hypersensitive to stimuli. Together we map the connection between your emotional state and physical symptoms to identify the root causes driving your fibromyalgia flare-ups.

The Session

Through guided hypnosis, we access your subconscious mind to retrain your brain's pain processing centres. We teach your nervous system to distinguish between real threats and false alarms, whilst installing powerful relaxation responses to rewire your pain perception and restore your body's natural healing mechanisms.

The Result

Your brain develops new neural pathways that regulate pain signals more effectively, reducing hypersensitivity and inflammation responses. You experience improved sleep, clearer thinking, and renewed energy as your body learns to manage pain naturally and return to the activities that bring you joy.

Why Online Hypnotherapy Can Be More Effective

Deeper Trance State

Hypnosis relies on your ability to relax completely. For fibromyalgia, clients often achieve a deeper level of trance in the safety and comfort of their own home compared to a clinical office, allowing the subconscious mind to more readily accept new patterns for managing chronic pain and reducing the nervous system's hypersensitivity.

Neurological Focus

Using headphones creates a direct 'audio link' to your subconscious. For fibromyalgia treatment, the voice of the therapist feels closer and more immersive than it does across a room, enabling more effective reprogramming of the neural pathways that process pain signals and regulate your body's stress responses.

Zero 'Re-Entry' Stress

After a breakthrough session addressing your fibromyalgia, you don't have to face traffic or parking. You can simply close your laptop and rest in your familiar environment, allowing the new pain management patterns to integrate instantly without the added stress that can trigger fibromyalgia flare-ups.

Common Questions About Fibromyalgia in Onslow

How does hypnotherapy help with fibromyalgia?

Hypnotherapy works by retraining your brain's pain processing centres and calming an overactive nervous system. Through targeted techniques, we reprogram how your mind interprets pain signals and reduce the hypersensitivity that characterises fibromyalgia. Clinical trials show 70-80% pain reduction with hypnotherapy treatment.

Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in-person sessions?

Yes, research consistently shows that online hypnotherapy can be equally or even more effective than in-person sessions. Many fibromyalgia clients report achieving deeper trance states in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. The same 93% success rate applies to both online and in-person sessions.

What technology do I need for Zoom hypnotherapy sessions?

You'll need a device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone), a stable internet connection, and a quiet, private space where you can lie down comfortably. We recommend using headphones for the best audio experience and to create that direct 'audio link' to your subconscious mind.

How long does treatment take for fibromyalgia?

Most clients experience significant pain reduction and improved sleep within 2-5 sessions. The exact number depends on how long you've had fibromyalgia and your individual response to hypnotherapy. Many clients notice improvements in energy levels and brain fog after just the first session.

Can I achieve the same results online as I would in person?

Absolutely. Online hypnotherapy often produces superior results for fibromyalgia because you can remain in your most comfortable environment throughout the session. This eliminates travel-related stress and allows for immediate rest afterward, which supports the healing process and prevents symptom flare-ups.

What causes fibromyalgia and how does hypnotherapy address it?

Fibromyalgia typically develops after physical trauma, emotional stress, or infections trigger changes in how your nervous system processes pain. Hypnotherapy addresses these root causes by calming the overactive stress response and retraining your brain's pain perception, helping restore normal pain processing.

How do I prepare for an online hypnotherapy session?

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed, dim the lights, and have a blanket nearby as your body temperature may drop during relaxation. Test your technology beforehand, use headphones if possible, and ensure you have at least 90 minutes free so you can rest after the session without rushing.

Will hypnotherapy help with fibromyalgia-related sleep problems?

Yes, clinical trials show that hypnotherapy improves sleep quality by 65% in fibromyalgia patients. By calming your nervous system and reducing pain sensitivity, hypnotherapy helps break the cycle of pain disrupting sleep, which then reduces daytime fatigue and brain fog.

Understanding Life in Ashburton

Why 'Fibromyalgia' is the hidden issue of the region.

The Vibe

Ashburton presents itself as the quintessential family haven - tree-lined streets where couple families with children create the picture-perfect suburban dream. Yet beneath this polished exterior lies an unspoken expectation to maintain seamless domestic harmony whilst juggling professional demands. The pressure to appear effortlessly successful in both career and family life creates fertile ground for Fibromyalgia that many residents silently endure.

The Grind

With over half the population in committed relationships raising children, the relentless cycle of school runs, weekend sports, and maintaining household perfection never stops. The financial pressure of sustaining a family lifestyle on even a comfortable income, combined with the isolation many parents feel, creates a constant undercurrent of overwhelm. Single-parent households face these pressures magnified, often triggering Fibromyalgia that goes unaddressed amidst daily survival.

The Solution

Our Norwest Clinic understands the unique pressures facing Ashburton's family-focused community. We specialise in treating Fibromyalgia that stems from the relentless expectations of suburban family life. Our treatments address both the immediate symptoms and the underlying lifestyle pressures that perpetuate your Fibromyalgia, helping you reclaim balance without sacrificing your family commitments.

You aren't imagining the pressure. The numbers prove it.
