The Home Acupressure for Back Pain guide shows a collection of very powerful techniques to relieve your back pain safely without costly equipment or medicines, simply using your hands, at any time, wherever you are. These techniques enable you to control your back, hip and neck pain and headache and to participate actively in your own healing.
Although these techniques are very effective, they are not meant as a substitute for medical care from a trained professional. If you have a serious back, hip, neck or shoulder problem or migraine, please see a doctor. You should regularly consult a licensed health care professional in matters relating to your health and particularly in respect to any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention.
Please note that acupressure must not be used directly on the spine, infected or burned skin or a recently formed scar. Don’t apply pressure on areas that are hot, red or swollen. Never practice acupressure on bone fractures and be very careful with the pressure if you have brittle bones or osteoporosis. During the first month after an injury or an operation, do not apply pressure on the affected site, even if the site has healed normally.
If you are pregnant, acupressure is an excellent way to relieve your back pain. However, you cannot use some of the acupressure points shown in this guide, because they tend to stimulate womb contractions. These points are clearly pointed out so you will know exactly which of them you cannot use during pregnancy and which ones will give you a natural, drug-free way to get back pain relief safely.
