EFT's results for pain management are often impressive. In most cases, pain vanishes or noticeably reduces within a few minutes of applying EFT. Also, repeated applications of EFT often eliminate chronic pains so that they no longer re-appear daily, weekly or monthly. This is pain relief at its best and doesn't involve drugs or painful procedures of any kind.

For those who don't achieve instant results, EFT is still likely to provide relief. However, in these cases more sophisticated approaches are usually necessary. Sometimes the principle cause of the pain is one or more unresolved emotional issues such as anger, fear, guilt or trauma. EFT is ideally designed to address these emotional issues and, once properly resolved, many physical ailments subside.
