Acupressure therapy is a standard treatment used in traditional Chinese medicine. Acupressure consists of applying pressure using the hands, thumbs, fingers or devices, to specific points on the body along pathways called “meridians.” It is similar to acupuncture but does not require needles. The purpose of acupressure is to stimulate the points that correspond to particular organs, emotions, or sensations. In traditional Chinese medicine, the disease is caused by imbalance or blockage of the flow of energy or “qi.” Therefore, it is believed that acupressure stimulates energy flow, unlocks the power, and rebalances energy, resulting in healing. Most of the acupressure points are located near the nerves. The researchers suggest that applying pressure to these points can block the transmission of pain signals. Some experts suggest that acupuncture could release natural pain relievers called endorphins and brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. These chemicals can naturally reduce pain and affect mood.
