PRESSURE POINT THERAPY

Would you like to know how your body's Pressure Points can effect your health?

What are Pressure Points?

Stress affects each individual in a variety of ways.  Excess stress that cannot be eliminated from the body is stored in specific spots called Pressure Points.  This stored energy usually occurs along a nerve or nerve pathway, which can result in diminished nerve flow and can ultimately affect you health.  Many conditions like headaches, TMJ, and carpel tunnel syndrome can be linked to nerve interference.

By holding pressure on these spots you can loosen the tightness in the area, reduce the amount of stress your body stores, and improve your health.

Eight out of ten Americans will suffer from back pain at some time in their life.  If you spend time sitting for long periods of time, or lifting regularly, you are particularly prone.  By working on the presure points in the lower back and leg, you can significantley reduce the amount of stored stress that can be a contributing factor to low back pain.  If your pain returns, you will need to seek professional help to determine if there is a structural defect causing your symptoms.

Fatigue is a classic symptom in today's society.  Stored Stress can be a major contributing factor to diminished energy.  If so, the symptoms will not go away until this stored stress is removed from the body.

If fatigue persists, lifestyle changes may be necessary.  If fatigue becomes chronic without any relief despite these changes, then you may need to seek chiropractic attention to rule out any serious problems.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome results from a compression of the nerve that feeds the hands and wrists.  The nerve, called the median nerve, starts in the neck and passes through the shoulder region, down the arm through the carpal tunnel, a formation in the wrist comprised of tendons and bones to the hands and fingers.  It may be first noticed as weakness in hand grip and numbness or tingling in the fingers.  The symptoms are often worse at night.

By massaging the sensitive pressure points on the upper arm and forearm, the muscles in the wrist can relax and nerve flow to the area improve.

If you are experienceing any of these symptoms, you owe it to yourself to be examined, diagnosed and adjusted by a chiropractor.
