  • Does acupressure work for headaches?

    Acupressure points for headaches Headache pain is a common experience. According to a 2018 article, tension-type headaches affect about 40% of people around the world and migraines affect around 10% of people worldwide. Acupressure practitioners claim that activating the following pressure points can help relieve headaches: Third eye People can find the third eye pressure point between their eyebrows. Stimulate the third eye pressure point by applying constant pressure or gently massaging in a circular motion. Drilling bamboo This pair of pressure points sit on the inside of each eyebrow, where the nose bridge meets the brow bone. Using both index fingers, apply equal pressure on both sides.

  • How effective is acupuncture for arthritis?

    How Acupuncture Affects Arthritis Western medicine doesn’t recognize the concepts of qi and meridians. However, scientific evidence suggests alternate explanations for why acupuncture might provide pain relief. “There’s a lot of research that says when we put an acupuncture needle into the body, a number of physiological mechanisms occurs,” says Brian Berman, MD, professor of family and community medicine and director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. A well-placed needle sets off a cascade of events, Dr. Berman explains, producing a signal that travels along the spinal cord to the brain, triggering a release of neurotransmitters called endorphins and enkephalins, which scientists believe reduce the sensation of pain. Research also shows that inserting an acupuncture needle induces the production of cortisol, a hormone that helps control inflammation. Acupuncture may stimulate activity of other pain-relieving chemicals in the body as well. But do all these biochemical changes relieve sore, stiff joints? A study by Dr. Berman and his colleagues found that after 26 weeks, patients receiving real acupuncture felt significantly less pain and functioned better (as measured by how far they could walk in six minutes) than their counterparts who received sham acupuncture.
