Phantom limb Low back pain is a common health problem worldwide. In previous studies, acupressure has been shown to be effective in alleviating various types of pain, but little is known about its effect on low back pain. Researchers in Taiwan recruited 129 patients with chronic low back pain from a specialist orthopaedic clinic. All patients completed a standard disability questionnaire before being randomly allocated to two treatment groups: 64 patients received six sessions of acupressure and 65 patients received physical therapy. Results were analysed immediately after treatment and again after six months. The mean disability score after treatment was significantly lower in the acupressure group than in the physical therapy group. In fact acupressure conferred an 89% reduction in disability compared with physical therapy, after adjusting for pre-treatment disability. This improvement lasted for six months. Benefit was also greater in the acupressure group for variables such as "leg pain," "pain interferes with normal work," and "days off from work/school."

Acupressure and acupuncture share the same active points (also called trigger points, acupoints, acupressure points, or acupuncture points). The ancient Chinese developed system of active points stimulation over 5,000 years ago. The active points are located on imaginary lines called meridians. Accordingly, the points are referred to by the meridian they are located on and consecutive number of point on that meridian. The ancient Chinese believed that life energy chi (pronounced chee ) flows through these meridians. In a healthy person the energy flow trough meridians is unobstructed. The blockade of chi flow results in an illness. The Chinese believed that active points stimulation clears the meridians and improves the flow of energy. The western medical science only begins to understand the mechanisms responsible for positive effects of active points stimulation. Stimulation of active points is thought to lead to increased release of endorphins. Endorphin is a natural body painkiller. Endorphin and morphine are chemically different molecules but, by coincidence, they have very similar 3-dimensional shape. This similarity in shape allows morphine to bind the endorphin receptor, reduce pain, and induce feeling of happiness. Thus endorphin released by acupressure stimulation may lead to relaxation and normalization of body functions.

Left untreated, stagnant energy can lead to a host of medical problems, from minor ailments, such as insomnia and headaches, to diseases, including breast cancer. Practicing acupressure regularly can help prevent breast cancer and its reoccurrence by promoting the smooth flow of energy in the meridians, or energy pathways, that run through the breast area. It is also very effective at lessening the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation by helping the body expel toxins introduced by these treatments. (For information how stagnant energy can lead to breast cancer, please see our introduction to TCM In this section, we'll teach you how to massage seven acupoints that are specifically targeted at breast-cancer treatment and prevention.

What this means is that there is a really good chance that your pain is coming solely, or at least in major part, from tension that has accumulated in your muscles. Tension disturbs both blood circulation and innervation and causes the metabolic waste to accumulate in the muscle. This results in pain and inflammation. And it can be stopped only by removing the tension in your muscles.

It's noon and you're dozing from a string of restless nights. You could head for the coffee machine, but you don't like the jitters caffeine brings on. Here's a thought: A study shows that acupressure can be an effective way to recharge and wake up. Researchers at the University of Michigan taught 39 students, who had no prior knowledge of acupressure practices, how to self-administer treatment to both stimulation and relaxation points. Over the course of three days of study, the students who practiced self-applied acupressure on stimulation points were less sleepy and more alert, the researchers found. Developed in China a mere 5,000 years ago, acupressure thrived as a simple healing practice to treat everyday ailments such as headaches, sore muscles, colds and even hangovers. The method involves applying pressure to points throughout the body with your thumbs, fingers, elbows and even feet.
