Acupressure
Hello! I am a physical therapist who works in a headache clinic. We work with natural treatments for rapid headache relief. Acupressure is one treatment that is used. One pressure point, SJ 17, is in the upper sternocleidomastoid muscle. While I can't say this point works for everyone, it does help a lot of people. This is my first post, and hope it helps some people. Craig
Hi Hlp4MigHa,
Welcome to the Migraine.com discussion forum.
Thank you for sharing that tip with us!!
NancyHello Nancy,
I wanted to reach out to you and get your advice. As I mentioned to Lawrence, I have extensive experience treating headaches, and could offer your community much knowledge, totally FREE and with NO secondary gains to me. For instance, Chapter 3 contains a compilation of acupressure points that for some people work as well as medicine. A point in the forearm relieves migraine induced nausea before it escalates. A point in the lower leg has been used to relieve a woman's migraine who got stressed out in corporate meetings. Instead of escalating to her typical 7-8/10 pain which would last several days. The point which she would press in the meeting kept the migraine pain down to 2-3/10 and it would subside in several hours, not days. I see many results like this. I had hoped to be a resource to the community for altruistic reasons, not for any financial gain. If you would take a second look, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your consideration.
Craig
