The Results Of Acupressure Treatment Must Be Seen To Be Believed

By Odessa Langhorne


When suffering from ailments, using acupressure treatment can create a level of healthiness. Things such as headaches and nausea can be eliminated altogether. While it is like acupuncture in results, acupressure does not use needles, only pressure at certain pressure points in the body.

Those who practice this type of healing believe that the body is made up of twelve meridians that relate to very specific organs. If these meridians should become blocked, illness can occur. The practice of acupressure works by the application of pressure to the pressure points that are associated with these meridians. The goal is to unblock these areas with the pressure used during the procedure.

As a general rule, special equipment is not needed during therapy. The use of the hands, feet and elbows to create pressure is the most likely tool to be used. This pressure is not as painful as one might think and if pain is felt, the session will be ended.

This type of treatment is much like chiropractic treatments in that the patient lies on a table, fully clothed. The practitioner will spend time stretching the body at the points of pressure. While a procedure lasts about an hour, it is likely that several treatments will be needed in order to achieve optimum results.

The physicians who practice in this part of the world as a general rule do not support this type of therapy. They believe that those who have obtained positive results from these treatments are simply experiencing pain relieving endorphins and stress relief. However, anyone who has felt the healing power of this therapy would be very hard to convince that it does not work.

While generally speaking, this type of procedure is very safe, people with some conditions should avoid it until they speak with their doctor to make sure it is safe for them. Those who have varicose veins, bone cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or are pregnant, should avoid any type of deep tissue therapy for their own safety.

The mental and spiritual healing of the body has been obtained with the use of acupressure treatments for a very long time. Medical doctors have not given their full support of the practice because it concentrates on the negative and positive energy that is thought to be in the body. Those patients who have experienced the healing powers of this therapy will support it in good faith.
