Acupuncture and Acupressure: Hitting the Spots
Despite their different names, acupuncture and
acupressure rely on the same principle: the stimulation of the body to trigger
natural processes. During typical treatments, licensed acupuncturists target
specific bodily points by applying pressure with their hands or a dull
implement (in acupressure) or inserting fine needles (for acupuncture). These
points correspond to meridians, which, according to the practice’s underlying
philosophy, are channels that transport life-giving energy throughout the body.
By stimulating the meridians, the acupuncturist releases any blockers to this
energy flow and restores the body to health.
Compared to the constantly evolving field of
modern medicine, acupuncture has remained essentially unchanged for millennia.
Evidence suggests that the treatment existed as far back as 5,000 years ago—the
preserved mummy Ötzi the Iceman, for example, bears tattoos that correspond to
classical acupuncture points. While contemporary scientific understanding has
cast a new light on the body’s inner workings, acupuncture remains a popular
procedure with mainstream credibility: a 2002 World Health Organization report
found that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for conditions ranging
from gout to certain respiratory disorders and acknowledged that "its effective
rate in the treatment of chronic pain is comparable with that of
morphine."
