What pressure points get rid of headaches?

Hello!

As with all things Chinese medicine, this medicine is individualized and depends upon the reason for you having headaches which would be determined after a thorough intake and then a recommended treatment plan can be made. We would consider the location, quality/severity of pain, frequency, duration, timing, how long this has been going on, etc. as well as looking at your digestion, menstrual cycle, sleep, and other such pieces that play into chronic headaches. Acupuncture and herbal medicine is a very effective treatment for headaches and I highly encourage you visit your closest Chinese medicine practitioner.

You can certainly google acupressure points related to pain, such as LI4 Hegu, and they can be very helpful in managing pain, but if you want to get at the root cause to mitigate the pain from the source I would always recommend you see a qualified practitioner in your area.

Be well,

That depends, what is the reason for your back pain? Is it acute or chronic? No two back pain patients are the same. Since you are already under the care of a practitioner, you should have a clear treatment plan with check-ins on your progress. If your practitioner believes once a
the month is enough then I would trust they know your case and have your best interests and outcomes in mind.
