Did you know that an estimated one in five, or more than 1.5 billion people from around the world suffer from chronic pain with injuries, illness, and increasing age? Physical pain affects the quality of life of the sufferers, making it a matter of great concern. But how often do we heed pain as a major health issue? Most people consider it a side effect of an illness, injury, or surgery and neglect it to a point where they suffer in silence.
However, at The Hundred, we believe that pain management should be part of a holistic healthcare system. By addressing and treating chronic pain as a condition that can be managed and even cured, we offer our clients better health and lifestyle. At our wellness centre in Dubai, we offer a variety of pain management services ranging from hypnotherapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, and rehabilitation pilates.
Pain management – what to expect
Chronic pain can be physically and mentally exhausting. There are two kinds of approaches to manage this pain. The first one focuses on techniques that deal with specific pains and their management. Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, and Pilates come under this approach.
Chronic pain can also be managed by looking at a person’s physical and mental state and offering a holistic healthcare solution. This is where hypnotherapy comes in.
In both cases, the idea is to bring down your pain and improve the quality of your life. Our specialists teach and train you in skills that will help manage your chronic pain in the long run, allowing you to get back to work or partake in activities that you once enjoyed.
Research further shows that these comprehensive pain management techniques not only impact one’s physical health and abilities but also reduces emotional distress.
Pain management methods
As mentioned, there are various methods to address your pain.
Chronic pain attributed to injuries or surgery can be effectively managed with the help of physical techniques. Most doctors recommend physiotherapy or chiropractic as an effective tool for pain management post-surgery. Rehabilitative Pilates is also a recommended practice to manage pain, especially for recovering from injuries.

Hypnotherapy, on the other hand, focuses on both the physical and mental well being. During hypnotherapy, the therapist creates a state of focused attention in the patient. With the power of guided imagery and positive suggestions, the therapist then gently aids the patient to deal with a variety of issues, both physical, mental, and emotional. Hypnotherapy is highly useful in dealing with chronic pain caused by stress, anxiety and other mental distresses.
