Among the most common medical complaints which everyone of us may have at least once in our lifetime is that of back pain. This condition happens to be one of the most common reasons people pay regular visits to their doctor. Fortunately, there are enough preventive measures to keep this condition at bay. And if it still crops up, then there are multiple medical treatments, and home remedies, which are helpful in dealing with such a condition and providing back pain relief. Surgery may also be one option to manage it, but that's a very rare occurrence. One of the treatment methods which provides a great deal of benefit in treating back pain is what is known as acupressure - a blend of the principle of acupuncture and pressure. The method is carried out by applying certain amount of pressure on the various acupuncture points for back pain. For this, the professional may use his hands, elbow, wrists or other mechanical devices. For mild to moderate back pain, you can carry out this method at home yourself. The following would tell you how to go about reaping the benefits of acupressure for back pain.
How to Use Acupressure for Back Pain
The following would present you with some tips on how to go about with back pain treatment with acupressure. It is best when someone else does the acupressure for you, as then the session would be complete and more effective. Now keep a pen and paper handy, and start jotting down.
* First of all, you would require a blunt object. Something like the eraser part of a pencil. This is for applying pressure on the acupuncture points. You can also work with your fingers though.
* Now, you would have to find a flat place to lie down. Lying on your side, and bring your knees towards your chest. In order to reduce pressure on your spine, ask your partner to place a pillow or something between your knees.
* Now what is important to know while carrying out the procedure for acupressure for back pain is three important points. These are known to be the acupuncture points. One is located near the buttocks, and one is slightly beneath the tailbone. The third point is just above the tail bone.
* Having located all these points, your partner has to now push against these acupressure points for back pain, using his fingers or a pencil. He has to exert pressure until the point begins to hurt. And once it does, the pressure has to be applied in a clockwise direction to reduce the acupressure.
* Now it's time to find another acupuncture point. This you can be done by placing the finger above the top of the hip bone. Now the finger has to be moved towards the spine until it is 4 finger widths from the spine. This is the point where pressure has to applied, and reduced by moving the finger or the object clockwise.
* Thereafter, the finger has to be moved towards the spine further until its 2 finger widths from it. This is another point, to be worked at now.
Repeat all these steps by turning onto to your other side, as well. So this is how you can use the remedy of acupressure for back pain to your benefit. And as you must have guessed from the nature of the acupressure treatment, having someone to execute the method, makes it a lot easier and more effective. I hope you have jotted down the instructions. So the next time your back pain gives you a hard time, consider following these points and get some relief.
