What Is Acupuncture and how it is Different from Acupressure?

#AcupunctureChicago #Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an age-old healing practice of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are placed at specific points in the body.

What does Acupuncture do?

You may be interested in acupuncture for a variety of reasons — for example, I sought treatment for my chronic headaches and sinus pressure — as there are countless conditions and symptoms that acupuncture has been said to help with.

Here are just some of the many claims:

• Allergies
• Anxiety and Depression
• Osteoarthritis
• Chronic Pain
• Hypertension
• Insomnia
• Menstrual Cramps
• Migraines
• Sprains
• Strokes

Acupressure vs. Acupuncture

If you are afraid of needles, you may be able to get much of the same effect from acupressure. Acupressure involves pressing or massaging the acupuncture points to stimulate energy pathways. Scientific comparisons of acupressure and acupuncture are limited, but acupressure has been shown to be effective in reducing nausea and lessening labor pain.
