The Theory of Pain
There are specialised
"receptors" in the skin and internal organs that are
sensitive to stimuli that are painful. These receptors are called
"nociceptors" and are free nerve endings connected to small
diameter myelinated A and unmyelinated C nerve fibers. These are the
nerve fibers that are LACKING in people with congenital insensitivity to
pain (People who cannot feel pain!)
Nociception, then, is the
response of the nervous system to painful stimulation. When the
nociceptors detect a nociceptive stimulus, they send a message to the
spinal cord.
A theory concerning how
pain works is called the Gate Control Theory devised by Patrick Wall
and Ronald Melzack in 1965. This theory states that pain is a
function of the balance between the information travelling into the
spinal cord through large nerve fibres and information
travelling into
the spinal cord through small nerve fibres. Remember, large nerve
fibres carry non-nociceptive information and small nerve fibres carry nociceptive information. If the relative amount of activity is
greater in large nerve fibres, there should be little or no pain.
However, if there is more activity in small nerve fibres,
then there will be pain.
" I
had severe tooth ache which was switched off instantly by a Quantum Pain
Therapist. When I visited the dentist he could not believe I was not
in pain, Thank you!"

Understanding
Pain
With Quantum Pain Therapy you do not need to understand how or why pain
is created or how the nervous system works. Quantum Pain Therapy is like
electricity. You do not need to understand how the light bulb comes on,
you just need to know that flicking the switch makes it light. With
Quantum Pain Therapy just listening to the healing voice of the
Therapist or listening to the CD will switch pain off.
"Following
a fall, my back and shoulder pain was reduced to almost nothing
following Quantum Pain Therapy, allowing me to continue with my busy work
schedule as an Opera singer. Without the help we may have had to
cancel the Opera and my recording sessions, you saved the day!"
